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.

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
