Continue iterative work from the last ACCEPTED result plus only the new requested change, instead of replaying the conversation. Use during long multi-turn editing of a document, config, or code file; when the user says "keep going from what we had", asks for a follow-up change to something already approved, or is near plan/token limits in an iterative session. Saves one integrity-checked accepted result, builds a minimal continuation prompt, and never carries rejected drafts or transcript history forward.
Use this when: my tests keep failing randomly, write tests for this code, tests pass locally but fail in CI, how do I mock an HTTP call, my test suite is too slow, debug a failing test, increase test coverage, how do I test a database query, write e2e tests for a user journey, run load tests against my API, set up a test framework, add TDD to my workflow, pytest, Vitest, evaluate my agent, LLM eval, agent flaky, RAG eval, prompt regression, hallucination test, Pass@N, LLM-as-Judge, trace agent execution, test my LangGraph agent, agent guardrails, eval dataset, mock agent tools, agent cost ceiling
Use this when: my API keeps returning 401 or 403, getting 429 rate limit errors, integrate a third-party API, my requests keep timing out, add retry logic with backoff, design a REST API, handle OAuth2 authentication, paginate API responses, CORS errors blocking my requests, secure API keys properly, build consistent error responses, my webhook isn't receiving events, OpenAPI, JWT, circuit breaker, idempotency key, API versioning, rate limiting, token refresh
Use this when: my pipeline is failing, set up CI, speed up my build, why is CI slow, cache miss every build, automate releases, set up GitHub Actions, self-hosted runner not connecting, fix my build, run jobs in parallel, deploy on every merge, build and push Docker image, my workflow is flaky, release automation, test pipeline locally before pushing, OIDC auth in CI, semantic versioning
Use this when: review my code, what's wrong with this function, find bugs before they hit production, is this code secure, check for SQL injection, my error handling is wrong, find edge cases I missed, improve this messy code, this PR needs a review, catch performance problems, my code might have a security vulnerability, refactor this for readability, is this logic doing the right thing, N+1 query, race condition, resource leak, mutable default args, unhandled promise
Use this when: build a data pipeline, my pipeline is not idempotent, clean messy data, convert CSV to Parquet, my data has duplicates, validate schema at ingestion, pipeline fails on re-run, process files larger than memory, schedule a recurring job, upstream schema changed and broke my pipeline, migrate data between systems, query Parquet without loading it, deduplicate records, batch vs stream processing, DuckDB for analytics, choose an orchestrator, slow pandas pipeline

Eliminate repetitive manual work. Every automation must be reversible and auditable. Draft before send. Always surface final output to human before taking irreversible action (send, delete, publish).
| Use Case | Default Tool | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Visual workflow automation | n8n (self-hosted) | 400+ integrations |
| Cloud automation | Zapier | For non-technical users |
| Gmail + n8n/Zapier | Draft-before-send always | |
| Calendar | Google Calendar API | Buffer time between meetings |
| Spreadsheets | Google Sheets + n8n | Append, read, update values |
| Notes/knowledge | Obsidian + periodic review | Markdown, no vendor lock-in |
| Task management | Todoist / Linear API | Webhook-triggered creation |
IF automating email:
→ ALWAYS create_draft first, NEVER send directly
→ Search last 3 messages with recipient before drafting (match tone)
→ Require explicit human confirmation before sending
IF scheduling meetings:
→ Check availability first
→ Insert 15-min buffer between consecutive events
→ Every event needs Purpose + Agenda in description
IF syncing data between tools:
→ Define trigger (webhook, schedule, or manual)
→ Transform data to target schema before writing
→ Log operation: what was written, when, by which workflow
IF automation fails:
→ n8n: configure error workflow with notification
→ Zapier: enable task history; set "Zapier's action failed" email
→ Never silent-fail on writes (email sends, calendar creates)
IF choosing automation platform:
→ Self-hosted, high sensitivity/volume → n8n
→ Quick setup, non-technical user → Zapier
→ Complex code needed → Python script with cron
| Anti-Pattern | Use Instead |
|---|---|
| Sending emails without human review | Draft → human approval → send |
| Polling APIs every 5 seconds | Webhooks or scheduled runs (≥1 min) |
| Storing credentials in workflow JSON | Environment variables or vault |
| Automating without error notification | Error workflow with Slack/email alert |
| Scheduling meetings back-to-back | 15-min buffer blocks between events |
| One mega-workflow for everything | Modular workflows with clear single purpose |

Before drafting any email, retrieve context:
1. Search last 3 messages from this recipient
2. Extract: their tone (formal/casual), recent context, pending items
3. Match draft tone to established pattern
4. Include context reference ("Following up on our Tuesday discussion about X...")
Subject: [Action Required / FYI / Question] - Brief topic
Hi [Name],
[1-line context anchor — why you're writing]
[Core ask or information — be specific]
[Next steps with owner and due date if applicable]
[Closing appropriate to relationship]
Trigger: Schedule - daily at 8am
→ Gmail: List unread messages from last 24h
→ n8n: Code node — classify each by: action-required, FYI, newsletter
→ Slack: Send summary with counts and subject lines
→ Gmail: Label newsletters automatically ("Auto-Newsletter")
→ Create draft replies for action-required items (human reviews before sending)
Every event should have:
Title: [Meeting Type] - Topic
Duration: [15 / 30 / 60 min]
Description:
Purpose: Why this meeting exists
Agenda:
- Item 1 (5 min)
- Item 2 (15 min)
- Item 3 (10 min)
Outcome: What "done" looks like
Pre-read: [link or "none"]

- Issue: [title] (assigned, in progress)
Trigger: Schedule or manual
→ Source: Read file / API / database
→ Transform: Extract relevant columns, compute summaries
→ Google Sheets: Create or update spreadsheet
- Sheet 1: Raw data (append)
- Sheet 2: Summary (overwrite)
- Apply formatting: header row bold, alternating rows
→ Email: Send "Report updated" notification with link
# Export all workflows to Git-versioned JSON
n8n export:workflow --all --output=backups/workflows/
# Import on new instance
n8n import:workflow --input=backups/workflows/
# Backup as part of weekly automation
# n8n Code node to call n8n API:
GET http://n8n:5678/api/v1/workflows
# Then save response to Git via GitHub API
| Symptom | Cause | Fix |
|---|---|---|
| n8n webhook not firing | Workflow not active | Toggle "Active" switch; verify URL |
| Google Sheets auth fails | OAuth token expired | Re-authenticate credential in n8n |
| Calendar event has no buffer | Buffer workflow not running | Check schedule trigger is active |
| Draft sent without approval | "Send" node before human review | Replace with "Create Draft" → manual step |
| Workflow runs but no notification | Error in notification node | Check error workflow is set; test Slack integration |
| Data duplicated in sheet | Trigger firing multiple times | Add dedup check: query sheet for existing row before append |
