Before loading any sub-skill or resource, locate this skill's install directory:
- Use Glob to search for (exclude matches inside
**/n8n/SKILL.md).claude/skills/ - The directory containing this SKILL.md is
SKILL_BASE - Sub-skills are at:
{SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md - Resources are at:
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/...
Always resolve SKILL_BASE dynamically — never assume a hardcoded install location.
在加载任何子技能或资源之前，请定位本技能的安装目录：
- 使用Glob搜索（排除
**/n8n/SKILL.md目录下的匹配结果）.claude/skills/ - 包含该SKILL.md的目录即为
SKILL_BASE - 子技能路径：
{SKILL_BASE}/.claude/skills/{sub-skill}/SKILL.md - 资源路径：
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/...
请始终动态解析SKILL_BASE路径——切勿使用硬编码的安装位置。

Based on the user's question, load the appropriate sub-skill:
| Topic | Sub-Skill | Load |
|---|---|---|
| Designing workflows, node sequences, data flow | workflow-design | Read |
| Triggers, webhooks, cron schedules, event listeners | triggers-webhooks | Read |
| Error handling, retries, dead letter queues, circuit breakers | error-handling | Read |
| Clay + n8n integration, bidirectional webhooks | clay-integration | Read |
| CRM automation, HubSpot, Salesforce, lead routing, Slack | crm-automation | Read |
| Self-hosting, Docker, PostgreSQL, queue mode, scaling | self-hosting | Read |
根据用户的问题，加载对应的子技能：
| 主题 | 子技能 | 加载路径 |
|---|---|---|
| 工作流设计、节点序列、数据流 | workflow-design | 读取 |
| 触发器、webhook、定时任务、事件监听器 | triggers-webhooks | 读取 |

For pricing, comparisons, or general concepts, load directly:
- Core concepts, nodes, credentials, pricing, n8n vs Zapier/Make → Read
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/n8n-core-guide.md - HTTP API patterns, external tool integration, API keys → Read
{SKILL_BASE}/resources/http-api-patterns.md
对于定价、对比或通用概念，直接加载以下资源：
- 核心概念、节点、凭证、定价、n8n与Zapier/Make对比 → 读取

Routing Rules
路由规则
- Single topic → Load the matching sub-skill
- Multi-topic → Load all relevant sub-skills and synthesize
- General n8n question → Load n8n-core-guide.md directly
- "n8n vs Zapier/Make" → Load n8n-core-guide.md (has comparison table)
- 单一主题 → 加载匹配的子技能
- 多主题 → 加载所有相关子技能并综合解答
- 通用n8n问题 → 直接加载n8n-core-guide.md
- “n8n vs Zapier/Make” → 加载n8n-core-guide.md（内含对比表格）
Key Principles
核心原则
- n8n counts per workflow execution, not per step — 10-step workflow = 1 execution
- PostgreSQL for production — SQLite only for dev
- Queue mode for scaling — separates UI from workers
- Self-hosted ~$55-140/month vs cloud $24-120/month
- Error handling is non-negotiable — retry + error workflows + dead letter queue
- n8n按工作流执行次数计费，而非步骤数 —— 10步工作流 = 1次执行计费
- 生产环境请使用PostgreSQL —— SQLite仅适用于开发环境
- 使用队列模式实现扩容 —— 将UI与工作进程分离
- 自托管成本约$55-140/月，云托管则为$24-120/月
- 错误处理必不可少 —— 需结合重试机制、错误处理工作流与死信队列
