Centralized n8n hub for designing reliable flows (idempotency, retries, HITL) and operating them via the public REST API. Use for planning, JSON output, and lifecycle actions like list/publish/debug.

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
This skill merges two tracks: Design: plan dependable workflows and optionally emit workflow.json. Operate: handle workflows/executions via the public REST API.
Public API access is disabled on free trial plans. An upgraded plan is required to use the API.
Suggested environment variables (or store in .n8n-api-config): export N8N_API_BASE_URL="https://your-instance.app.n8n.cloud/api/v1" # or http://localhost:5678/api/v1 export N8N_API_KEY="your-api-key-here" Create an API key at: n8n Settings โ n8n API โ Create an API key.
You want a workflow built for idempotency, retries, logging, and review queues. You need importable workflow.json plus a runbook template. You want to list, publish, deactivate, or debug workflows/executions via API.
You need pure code automation without n8n. You want to bypass security controls or conceal audit trails.
Required Trigger type + schedule/timezone Success criteria and destinations (email/Drive/DB) Optional Existing workflow JSON Sample payloads/records Dedup keys
Default: design spec (nodes, data contracts, failure modes) On request: workflow.json + workflow-lab.md (from assets/workflow-lab.md)

Confirm trigger type and schedule/timezone. Define inputs, outputs, and validation rules. Choose dedup keys to keep runs idempotent. Add observability (run_id, logs, status row). Add retry policy and error branches. Send failures to a review queue. Add guardrails to prevent silent failure.
See assets/endpoints-api.md for the complete endpoint list.
The API playground is available only on self-hosted n8n and uses real data. The n8n API node can call the public API from within workflows. Webhook URLs do not require the API key header. Execution data can be pruned by retention settings.
