What is the difference between the two nodeType formats?

Search and validation tools use a short prefix (e.g., 'nodes-base.slack'), while workflow management tools require a full prefix (e.g., 'n8n-nodes-base.slack').

Do I need an n8n API key to use this skill?

Search, validation, and template browsing work without an API. However, creating, updating, or deploying workflows directly requires an active N8N_API_URL and N8N_API_KEY.

How does partial update differ from creating a workflow?

Partial updates allow you to add nodes, change connections, or activate workflows iteratively without rewriting the entire JSON, resulting in a much higher success rate for AI agents.

What are validation profiles?

Profiles allow you to toggle strictness levels, such as 'minimal' for basic checks or 'runtime' for full value and type validation before deployment.

Can I deploy existing n8n templates?

Yes, the skill provides tools to search over 2,700 real-world templates and deploy them directly to your instance with optional auto-fixing of common issues.
