Can this skill help resolve n8n validation errors?

Yes, by using the configuration workflow, the skill validates node operations against the node type's rules, pinpointing exactly which dependency or required field is missing from your JSON structure.

When should I use get_node_essentials versus get_node_info?

You should start with get_node_essentials for 90% of tasks as it provides required fields and common options quickly. Only use get_node_info if you need the full, advanced schema or detailed documentation for a complex node.

What is operation-aware configuration in n8n?

In n8n, node requirements change based on the selected resource and operation. For example, a 'post' operation in Slack requires a channel, while an 'update' operation requires a message ID. This skill identifies these dynamic needs automatically.

How does the skill handle conditional fields like the HTTP Request body?

The skill analyzes displayOptions to understand dependencies. It knows that the 'body' field only needs to be configured when 'sendBody' is true and the HTTP method is POST, PUT, PATCH, or DELETE.

Productivity & Workflow

Provides expert guidance for configuring n8n nodes by identifying operation-specific requirements and managing complex property dependencies.

About

This skill empowers Claude to accurately configure n8n workflow nodes by understanding that required fields change based on the selected resource and operation. It utilizes a progressive discovery approach—prioritizing essential fields before diving into full schemas—to streamline automation development, resolve validation errors, and manage conditional visibility rules (displayOptions). Whether you are setting up complex HTTP requests, Slack integrations, or database operations, this skill ensures configurations are minimal, valid, and functionally correct.

Key Features

Deep mapping of property dependencies and conditional visibility rules
Operation-aware field identification to determine resource-specific requirements
Progressive discovery workflow prioritizing essentials over complex schemas
Smart handling of unary and binary operators in conditional logic nodes
Automated validation checks for common node patterns like Slack and HTTP
1 GitHub stars

Use Cases

Configuring dynamic Slack or Google Sheets nodes where required fields shift per operation
Troubleshooting 'missing field' validation errors in complex HTTP Request nodes
Optimizing n8n workflow development by focusing on required properties first
