n8n Docs Assistant

Use this skill when the user asks how to configure, set up, troubleshoot, or understand n8n behavior and the answer should come from current n8n docs.

Default Procedure

Call n8n-docs(action="lookup") first for credential setup and direct n8n docs questions. Use search then read only when you need tighter control over candidate pages.
For credential setup, pass intent: "credential-setup" and all available context fields: credentialType, credentialDisplayName, documentationUrl, oauthRedirectUrl, and nodeType.
Read the returned document snippets before answering. If multiple pages were returned, prefer credential-specific pages over general credential UI pages.
End the final answer with Source: [Page title](page URL) when one docs page was used, or Sources: when multiple docs pages were used. Use only pages returned by n8n-docs.

Credential Setup

Keep the answer tied to the credential modal the user is viewing.
If the setup needs an OAuth redirect/callback URL, tell the user to copy the OAuth Redirect URL from the modal unless oauthRedirectUrl is available in context.
If the answer involves secret values, tell the user where to paste them in the credential modal, but never ask them to paste secrets into chat.
For external provider console steps, summarize the n8n docs instructions. Do not navigate browser pages unless credential-setup-with-computer-use is explicitly needed and Computer Use browser tools are available.

Missing Docs

If docs lookup fails, say that current docs could not be loaded. Provide only generic n8n UI guidance that is visible from the product context, and avoid claiming provider-specific setup steps without docs evidence.

post-build-flow

n8n-io/n8n

Handles workflow verification and setup after build-workflow succeeds, or when the message contains workflow-verification-follow-up or workflow-setup-required. Load after direct builds, when verificationReadiness requires action, or on orchestrator verify/setup follow-up turns.

planned-task-runtime

n8n-io/n8n

Handles system follow-up turns: planned-task-follow-up (synthesize, replan, build-workflow, checkpoint), background-task-completed, running-tasks context, create-tasks silence rules, and detached delegate completion. Load whenever any of these tags appear or after spawning create-tasks or delegate.

workflow-builder

n8n-io/n8n

Default path for all single-workflow work: new one-off workflows, existing- workflow edits, verification repairs, and workflow-local data tables. Write or edit a workspace source file, then call build-workflow with filePath. Do not load planning or create-tasks first. Load planning only when multiple coordinated workflows or shared cross-task data tables require a dependency-aware task graph.

debugging-executions

n8n-io/n8n

Debug failed or wrong-output workflow executions using executions tools. Load when the user reports execution failures, unexpected node output, empty parameter values after a successful run, or a node showing a red or failed expression error.
