n8n workflow automation
Designs and outputs n8n workflow JSON with robust triggers, idempotency, error handling, logging, retries, and human-in-the-loop review queues. Use when you need an auditable automation that won’t silently fail.
Why this rating
Deterministic checks triggered by the tool capabilities and evidence.
- Locality: Local
The skill primarily produces design artifacts rather than directly invoking remote APIs itself.
- Data access: Personal
Consumes user-provided workflow goals, schedules, and destination process details.
- Action surface: Write
Can output `workflow.json` and `runbook.md` artifacts for deployment.
Best practices
Follow these steps to reduce risk when using this skill.
- Reference credentials by secret name/env var and never embed raw secrets in workflow JSON.
- Keep workflows inactive until trigger scope and destination side effects are reviewed.
- Add explicit failure notifications and human review queues before production use.

Max-risk rule
If any capability reaches a higher level, the entire indicator level bumps up to keep ratings deterministic and easy to scan.
