What it does

“Answers n8n product, setup, credential, node, hosting, API, and usage questions from current n8n docs. Use when the user asks how to configure, set up, troubleshoot, or understand n8n behavior, especially credential setup questions — including which OAuth scopes or permissions a provider app needs.”
The author's description, from SKILL.md

Generated summary from the skill's own text

This skill answers questions about n8n configuration, setup, credentials, nodes, and troubleshooting by retrieving information from current n8n documentation. It uses the n8n-docs tool to look up product guidance and helps users set up credentials correctly, including OAuth redirect URLs and required permissions from provider applications.

When to use it

  • User asks how to configure or set up n8n features
  • User needs credential setup help, including OAuth scopes
  • User troubleshoots n8n behavior or node configuration
  • User seeks guidance on n8n product functionality from docs

When not to

  • Documentation lookup fails and provider-specific setup is needed
  • User needs real-time browser navigation for external provider consoles
  • Answer requires information not available in n8n documentation
