n8n Error Handler Map from Workflow Inventory (No Invented Retry Counts)

Prompt

Act as an n8n reliability cartographer who only uses a pasted workflow inventory. You write an error handler map the inventory already supports. You do not invent retry counts, run totals, latency milliseconds, or error rates not in Inputs. This is not an n8n billing estimate and not a security audit certification.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Workflow inventory I lock (handler stubs, trigger cues, node notes): [Inventory]
- n8n / runtime version notes I lock: [Version]
- Workspace or project label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [Workspace]
- Required handler or workflow names I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [SpecNames]
- Workflow titles already present (or UNKNOWN): [WorkflowCues]
- Trigger labels already present (or UNKNOWN): [TriggerCues]
- Node and error notes already present (or UNKNOWN): [NodeNotes]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (retry counts, run totals, latency milliseconds, error rates): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: Inventory nouns, Version, Workspace, SpecNames, WorkflowCues, TriggerCues, NodeNotes, Lang. Forbidden: invented retry counts, run totals, latency milliseconds, error rates. Banner: not an n8n billing estimate; not a security audit certification.
2. Error handler map: one numbered row per Inventory handler stub or trigger cue. Missing NodeNotes write NOT IN INPUTS. Use n8n Error Trigger, Workflows, Nodes, Credentials, Wait, and Continue On Fail language when Inventory supports it. Never print retry-count or run-total VALUES not in Inventory.
3. Spec name set: only names in SpecNames. Unnamed handlers stay NOT IN INPUTS. Never invent latency-millisecond VALUES not in Inventory.
4. Version lock: print Version. Refuse n8n features newer than Version if Version is named.
5. Refuse list: inventing retry counts, inventing run totals, inventing latency milliseconds, inventing error rates.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Map from Inventory only. No invented retry-count VALUES. Teach n8n error handlers, not a Pipedream or Zapier swap.
- Honor Version. No emojis.

n8n Error Handler Map from Workflow Inventory (No Invented Retry Counts) - Result

Examples

Example Input

Inventory: handler Harbor Quay Slack Alert on Fail as pasted trigger cue Error Trigger as pasted node notes HTTP Request as pasted; handler River Ops Sheet Log on Fail as pasted trigger cue Continue On Fail as pasted. Retry invent NONE. Run invent NONE.
Version: n8n self-hosted as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI node writer)
Workspace: Harbor Quay automation project as pasted
SpecNames: Slack Alert handler map as pasted; Sheet Log handler map as pasted. Latency UNKNOWN.
WorkflowCues: Slack Alert on Fail as pasted; Sheet Log on Fail as pasted. Digest UNKNOWN.
TriggerCues: Error Trigger as pasted; Continue On Fail as pasted. Cron UNKNOWN.
NodeNotes: HTTP Request as pasted. Retry count VALUES NOT IN INPUTS.
Banned: guaranteed retry, retry invent, run invent, latency invent
Never: invent retry counts, invent run totals, invent latency milliseconds, invent error rates
Format: ledger + table + specs + version + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. Inventory: handler Harbor Quay Slack Alert on Fail trigger cue Error Trigger node notes HTTP Request; handler River Ops Sheet Log on Fail trigger cue Continue On Fail. Retry invent NONE. Run invent NONE. Version n8n self-hosted. Workspace Harbor Quay automation project. SpecNames Slack Alert handler map; Sheet Log handler map; Latency UNKNOWN. WorkflowCues Slack Alert on Fail; Sheet Log on Fail; Digest UNKNOWN. TriggerCues Error Trigger; Continue On Fail; Cron UNKNOWN. NodeNotes HTTP Request; Retry count VALUES NOT IN INPUTS. Lang English. Banner: not an n8n billing estimate; not a security audit certification. Forbidden: invented retry counts, run totals, latency milliseconds, error rates, guaranteed retry, retry invent, run invent, latency invent.

3. Spec name set. Slack Alert handler map; Sheet Log handler map as SpecNames. Latency UNKNOWN so write latency NOT IN INPUTS. No retry-count VALUES beyond Inventory. No third handler invented.

4. Version lock. n8n self-hosted as pasted. Unreleased AI node writer not used. Credentials packs NOT IN INPUTS.

5. Refuse. Retry invent: refused. Run invent: refused. Latency invent: refused. Error invent: refused. Guaranteed retry: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Format ledger+table+specs+version+refuse+compliance. Gaps: latency policy, Digest WorkflowCues, Cron TriggerCues, retry count VALUES NodeNotes, Wait nodes list if any.

Missing-data policy: if a field was blank, write NOT IN INPUTS rather than guessing. Lock any tool version named in Inputs; if unnamed, write unknown. No invented testimonials, star ratings, or press logos. If legal, clinical, insurance, HR, education-plan, or veterinary content appears, add a one-line not-advice and de-identify banner. Quote banned-word hits and cut them. End with a gaps list of five bullets the user still owes you. Character and byte caps in the job are hard; print counts when relevant. Refuse to backfill DOIs, exam dumps, PHI, PII, or compensation promises not in Inputs.
