# Send Reef n8n Automation to your agent
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
## Fast path
- Download the package from Yavira.
- Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
- Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
## Suggested prompts
### New install

```text
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.
```
### Upgrade existing

```text
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.

## Documentation

### n8n Automation — Build & Deliver Workflows Fast

Build, customize, and deliver n8n workflows using our 2,061-template library.
Reference: ~/projects/n8n-workflows/ — browse by integration folder.
Our n8n instance: localhost:5678 (requires fnm use 22 before starting).
All outputs go to workspace/artifacts/.

### Use when

Building an n8n workflow for a client (Upwork, Alfred, direct)
Customizing a template from our library for a specific use case
Debugging or optimizing an existing n8n workflow
Designing a workflow architecture before building
Estimating delivery time for a workflow project
Importing/exporting workflow JSON

### Don't use when

Finding Upwork jobs (use upwork-hunting skill)
Writing the client proposal (use proposal-writing skill)
General coding tasks not involving n8n
Zapier/Make.com builds (different platforms, different nodes)

### Negative examples

"Find me automation jobs on Upwork" → No. Use upwork-hunting.
"Build me a Python script" → No. This is n8n-specific.
"Set up my n8n server" → Borderline. Infrastructure setup is ops, not workflow building. But credential configuration fits here.

### Edge cases

Workflow uses custom JavaScript (Code node) → YES. n8n supports inline JS.
Client wants Zapier→n8n migration → YES. Map Zapier triggers/actions to n8n equivalents.
Workflow needs external API with no n8n node → YES. Use HTTP Request node.
Multi-workflow orchestration → YES. Use Execute Workflow node.

### Template Library Quick Reference

Location: ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/
Structure: workflows/[IntegrationName]/[id]_[integration]_[action]_[trigger].json

### Finding the Right Template

# List all templates for an integration
ls ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/Twilio/

# Search across all workflows
find ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/ -name "*.json" | grep -i "shopify"

# Count templates per integration
ls ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/ | while read d; do echo "$(ls ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/$d/ | wc -l) $d"; done | sort -rn | head -20

### Top Integration Folders (by Upwork demand)

### Step 1: Assess Requirements

From client discovery, answer:

What triggers the workflow? (webhook, schedule, form, app event)
What actions need to happen? (send email, update CRM, create record)
What data needs to flow? (fields, formats, transformations)
What error handling is needed? (retries, fallback, alerts)
What credentials are required? (API keys, OAuth, etc.)

### Step 2: Find Matching Templates

# Search for relevant templates
find ~/projects/n8n-workflows/workflows/ -name "*.json" | xargs grep -l "keyword" 2>/dev/null

Or browse by integration folder. Most jobs need 2-3 templates stitched together.

### Step 3: Import & Customize

Copy template JSON
In n8n: Menu → Import from File (or paste JSON)
Update credentials (Client's API keys)
Update field mappings (their data structure)
Adjust trigger settings (their webhook URL, schedule, etc.)
Add error handling nodes (Error Trigger → notification)

### Step 4: Test

Use n8n's Manual Execution to test each node step-by-step
Verify data flows correctly between nodes
Test error paths (what happens when an API is down?)
Check rate limits (especially for bulk operations)

### Step 5: Document & Deliver

Every delivered workflow includes:

## Workflow: [Name]
**Trigger:** [What starts it]
**Steps:** [1. → 2. → 3.]
**Credentials needed:** [List]
**Testing:** [How to verify it works]
**Maintenance:** [What might break and how to fix it]

### Pattern 1: Trigger → Transform → Action

The simplest and most common. Event happens → process data → do something.

[Webhook/Form/Schedule] → [Set/Code node: transform data] → [Send Email/Update CRM/Create Record]

### Pattern 2: Trigger → Branch → Multiple Actions

Different outcomes based on conditions.

[Trigger] → [IF node: check condition] → True: [Action A] / False: [Action B]

### Pattern 3: Scheduled Batch Processing

Periodic bulk operations.

[Cron/Schedule] → [Get data from Sheet/DB] → [Loop: process each item] → [Action per item]

### Pattern 4: Webhook API Endpoint

n8n acts as an API that other services call.

[Webhook: receive request] → [Process] → [Respond to Webhook: return data]

### Pattern 5: Multi-Step Pipeline

Complex workflows with multiple stages.

[Trigger] → [Enrich data] → [Route/Split] → [Multiple actions] → [Aggregate] → [Final action]

### Pattern 6: Error-Resilient Workflow

Production-grade with error handling.

[Trigger] → [Try: main flow] → [Catch: Error Trigger] → [Alert via Slack/Email]

### Credential Setup Checklist

Before delivering to a client, ensure:

All credentials use THEIR API keys (never ours)
 OAuth tokens are connected to THEIR accounts
 Webhook URLs point to THEIR n8n instance (or ours if managed)
 Sensitive data isn't hardcoded in nodes (use credentials store)
 Test credentials work in production (not just sandbox)

### Delivery Checklist

Workflow tested end-to-end with real data
 Error handling nodes in place
 Documentation written (trigger, steps, credentials, maintenance)
 Workflow JSON exported as backup
 Client can import and run independently
 Edge cases tested (empty data, API errors, rate limits)
 Screenshot of working workflow included in delivery

### Estimation Guide

Our speed advantage: Templates cut these times by 40-60%.

### n8n Instance Management

Start n8n:

eval "$(fnm env)" && fnm use 22 && nohup n8n start > /tmp/n8n.log 2>&1 &

Access: http://localhost:5678

Import workflow via API:

curl -X POST http://localhost:5678/api/v1/workflows \\
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \\
  -H "X-N8N-API-KEY: $N8N_API_KEY" \\
  -d @workflow.json

Our credentials configured:

Twilio API Auth (ID: 2hP5kiyhResadXrF)
