/install n8n-workflow-automation
Description
Designs and outputs n8n workflow JSON with robust triggers, idempotency, error handling, logging, retries, and human-in-the-loop review queues. Use when you need an auditable automation that won’t silently fail.
Usage Guidance
Safe to install as a workflow-design helper. Before importing any generated n8n JSON, review the nodes, destinations, credentials, logged fields, retry behavior, review queue, and keep secrets out of the workflow JSON.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: n8n-workflow-automation
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is designed to generate n8n workflow JSON and a runbook. The `SKILL.md` file contains explicit and strong security instructions for the AI agent, including 'DO NOT USE WHEN… You need to bypass security controls or hide audit trails' and 'Do not include secrets in JSON; reference env vars/credential names only'. It also instructs the agent to 'STOP AND ASK THE USER if… credential strategy (env vars) is not specified, … the workflow needs privileged access not yet approved', and to 'Prefer least privilege'. These instructions actively mitigate prompt injection risks and prevent the generation of insecure or malicious outputs, aligning with a benign classification.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill can produce importable n8n workflow JSON, which could later automate emails, uploads, database writes, or API calls, but that capability is the stated purpose and is only offered when explicitly requested.
Instruction Scope
Instructions are bounded and safety-oriented: read-only by default, workflow JSON only on explicit request, active set to false, no secrets in JSON, and stop-and-ask conditions for unknown destinations, missing dedup keys, credential strategy, or unapproved privileged access.
Install Mechanism
The artifact contains only Markdown instruction files and a runbook template; there are no executable scripts, package installs, hooks, or hidden install behavior.
Credentials
The skill itself does not request local filesystem, network, credential, or account access; generated workflows are instructed to reference environment variables or credential names rather than embedding secrets.
Persistence & Privilege
Generated designs intentionally include audit logs, status rows, and review queues, which is appropriate for reliable automation but may store operational or payload data if the user chooses sensitive destinations or fields.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install n8n-workflow-automation - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/n8n-workflow-automation - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
