A well-structured router skill: opinionated, concrete, and sequenced with real validation checkpoints. Its only soft spot is the inline working-knowledge tool list, which is slightly dense and carries version-sensitive detail that a future refactor could move into a referenced reference file.
Suggestions
Consider moving the 'n8n-mcp tools — working knowledge from turn one' section into a bundled reference file (e.g. references/tools-cheatsheet.md) and linking to it from the router body, which would improve both conciseness and progressive_disclosure.
The version-gated notes (e.g. 'n8n 2.28+', 'n8n >= 2.30', 'n8n >= 2.32') are time-sensitive; grouping them under an explicitly versioned table or a 'version compatibility' reference would reduce drift risk and trim the body.
A one-line legend mapping each tool to its owning specialist skill (alongside the existing Skill Index) would let the model pick the right follow-up skill without scanning the prose.
| Dimension | Reasoning | Score |
|---|---|---|
Conciseness | Dense and opinionated, assuming Claude's competence throughout (e.g. 'Set node feeding 0-1 consumers is almost always wrong') with no padding explaining what n8n or MCP are; the inline tool list carries some time-sensitive version detail that keeps it just short of fully lean. | 4 / 5 |
Actionability | Provides concrete tool names and parameter shapes (e.g. 'get_node' takes SHORT-form 'nodes-base.httpRequest', the LONG-vs-SHORT node-type trap) plus a Red Flags thought-to-skill table, though the actual how-to is delegated to specialist skills rather than given as copy-paste code. | 4 / 5 |
Workflow Clarity | 'The protocol, in order' gives a clear 5-step sequence with explicit validation checkpoints ('validate_workflow before activating' and 'n8n_get_workflow after' to check connections) and a drift-surfacing feedback loop, reinforced by the Non-negotiables and Red Flags sections. | 5 / 5 |
Progressive Disclosure | As a router it cleanly references 14 specialist skills by name at one level of depth, with clear signals (Red Flags table, Skill Index, 'See <skill>' pointers); no bundle files exist, so there is nothing to split out, and the inline tool list is moderately dense. | 4 / 5 |
