SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It transforms an n8n-studio spec document into concrete workflow design documentation and matching integrated test scenarios, so implementation can start with a clear, verifiable blueprint.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Design document generation: Produces a structured design.md based on docs/yyyyMMdd-기능요약/01-spec.md, including node roles, connections, and any required code-node pseudocode/snippets.
  • Integrated test scenario planning: Creates plan-tests artifacts (03-test-plan.md) describing test names, purposes, n8n Test Execution input JSON, expected outputs, and file-validation approaches.
  • Guided transition to development: After design and test-plan creation, it automatically hands off to the develop phase to proceed with implementation.
  • Use case: When you need to build or modify an n8n workflow (e.g., adding a new Slack notification feature or implementing a data transform), this produces both the design and the verification plan required for TDD-style development.

Quick Start

Use the skill to design an n8n workflow by telling the agent to read the spec from your docs folder and generate the design and integrated test plan for the next development step.

Frequently Asked Questions about n8n-studio:design

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate an n8n workflow design from a spec document?▼

To generate an n8n workflow design from a spec document, the skill reads your existing 01-spec.md file, extracts node roles and connections, and outputs a structured 02-design.md document with required code-node pseudocode snippets.

What is TDD-style test planning for n8n workflows?▼

TDD-style test planning for n8n workflows involves creating an integrated 03-test-plan.md document that defines test names, purposes, input JSON for n8n Test Execution, expected outputs, and file-validation approaches.

Does n8n workflow design generation automatically transition to development?▼

Yes, n8n workflow design generation automatically transitions to the develop phase after creating both the 02-design.md document and 03-test-plan.md integrated test scenarios, providing a verifiable blueprint for implementation.

Can I create an integration test plan for n8n code nodes?▼

Yes, you can create an integration test plan for n8n code nodes by generating test scenarios that include specific n8n Test Execution input JSON, expected outputs, and file-validation approaches based on your 01-spec.md.

What do I need to start designing an n8n workflow?▼

To start designing an n8n workflow, you need an existing 01-spec.md document located in your docs/yyyyMMdd-기능요약 folder, which serves as the input for generating the 02-design.md and matching 03-test-plan.md.
