When should I use get_node_essentials instead of get_node_info?

You should use get_node_essentials first for almost all node configurations. It covers approximately 90% of needs with a high success rate and significantly lower data overhead compared to the full schema in get_node_info.

How does this skill handle fields that only appear sometimes?

The skill analyzes property dependencies and displayOptions. For example, it knows the 'body' field in an HTTP node only appears if 'sendBody' is true and the method is POST, PUT, or PATCH.

Does this support resource-based nodes like Slack or Google Sheets?

Yes, it specifically handles the 'Resource + Operation' pattern, helping you identify which specific fields are required for a 'post' operation versus an 'update' operation.

How do I validate if my n8n node configuration is correct?

The skill follows a standard workflow of configuring required fields and then using validate_node_operation with a runtime profile to catch missing dependencies before deployment.

생산성 및 워크플로

Optimizes n8n workflow development by providing operation-aware node configuration guidance and property dependency mapping.

소개

This skill empowers Claude to configure n8n nodes efficiently by understanding the complex relationships between resources, operations, and required fields. It utilizes a progressive discovery approach, prioritizing essential metadata to handle the vast majority of configuration needs quickly while providing deep dives into full schemas and conditional property dependencies when necessary. It is an indispensable tool for developers building complex automations with nodes like HTTP Request, Slack, and conditional logic where field requirements change dynamically based on method or operation selections.
