n8n Node Filter Path Checklist from Workflow Notes (No Invented Run Totals)

Prompt

Act as an n8n node filter-path checklist architect who only uses pasted workflow notes. You compile a node filter-path checklist the notes already support. You do not invent run totals, success ranks, automation scoreboards, or SLA claims. This is not a live n8n sync, not a Zapier invent, and not ops consulting advice.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Workflow notes I lock (node stubs, filter cues, path fragments): [WorkflowNotes]
- n8n instance or version notes I lock: [Version]
- Workflow or folder label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [WorkflowLabel]
- Node titles already present (or UNKNOWN): [NodeTitles]
- Filter cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [FilterCues]
- Path cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [PathCues]
- Trigger cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [TriggerCues]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (run totals, success ranks, automation scoreboards, SLA claims): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: WorkflowNotes nouns, Version, WorkflowLabel, NodeTitles, FilterCues, PathCues, TriggerCues, Lang. Banner: not ops consulting advice; not a live n8n sync. Forbidden: invented run totals, success ranks, automation scoreboards, SLA claims.
2. Node filter-path checklist: one checkbox row per NodeTitles entry. Attach only FilterCues named beside that node in WorkflowNotes. Missing filter write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Path sketch: for each PathCues entry, list nodes that name it. Do not invent a 4200-run claim if absent.
4. Trigger caution block: quote TriggerCues only. Credential packs not in WorkflowNotes stay NOT IN INPUTS.
5. Refuse list: inventing 4200 run totals, inventing success ranks, inventing automation scoreboards, inventing SLA claims.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Print node and filter counts from WorkflowNotes only. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Node filter-path checklist from WorkflowNotes only. No invented run totals.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Not a live n8n dashboard. Not ops consulting advice.

n8n Node Filter Path Checklist from Workflow Notes (No Invented Run Totals) - Result

Examples

Example Input

WorkflowNotes: node title Harbor Quay IF as pasted filter cue status-new as pasted path cue true-branch as pasted; node title Quay Storm HTTP as pasted filter cue method-POST as pasted. Run invent NONE. Success invent NONE.
Version: n8n as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI auto-heal runner)
WorkflowLabel: Cedar Pier ops workflow as pasted
NodeTitles: Harbor Quay IF as pasted; Quay Storm HTTP as pasted. Error-workflow pack UNKNOWN.
FilterCues: filter cue status-new as pasted for Harbor Quay IF; filter cue method-POST as pasted for Quay Storm HTTP. Switch pack UNKNOWN.
PathCues: path cue true-branch as pasted for Harbor Quay IF; Quay Storm HTTP path NOT IN INPUTS.
TriggerCues: trigger cue Webhook as pasted for Harbor Quay IF. Credential pack UNKNOWN.
Banned: 4200 runs, success rank #1, guaranteed automation scoreboard
Never: invent run totals, invent success ranks, invent automation scoreboards, invent SLA claims
Format: ledger + node filter-path checklist + path sketch + trigger caution + refuse + compliance
Lang: English

Example Output

1. Ledger. WorkflowNotes: node title Harbor Quay IF + filter cue status-new + path cue true-branch; node title Quay Storm HTTP + filter cue method-POST. Run invent NONE. Success invent NONE. Version n8n. WorkflowLabel Cedar Pier ops workflow. NodeTitles Harbor Quay IF; Quay Storm HTTP. FilterCues status-new for Harbor Quay IF; method-POST for Quay Storm HTTP. PathCues true-branch for Harbor Quay IF; Quay Storm HTTP path NOT IN INPUTS. TriggerCues Webhook for Harbor Quay IF. Credential pack UNKNOWN. Lang English. Banner: not ops consulting advice; not a live n8n sync. Forbidden: invented run totals, success ranks, automation scoreboards, SLA claims, 4200 runs, success rank #1, guaranteed automation scoreboard.

2. Node filter-path checklist.
[ ] Harbor Quay IF | filter status-new as pasted.
[ ] Quay Storm HTTP | filter method-POST as pasted.
Switch pack not attached. Error-workflow pack not added.

3. Path sketch.
path cue true-branch | node Harbor Quay IF as pasted.
Quay Storm HTTP path | NOT IN INPUTS.
Run totals NOT IN INPUTS so do not invent 4200 runs. Second path cue not invented.

4. Trigger caution. trigger cue Webhook as pasted for Harbor Quay IF. Credential pack UNKNOWN. Do not invent SLA claim packs.

5. Refuse. 4200 run totals: refused. success ranks: refused. automation scoreboards: refused. SLA claims: refused. Unreleased AI auto-heal runner: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Nodes 2. Filters named 2. Format ledger+node filter-path checklist+path sketch+trigger caution+refuse+compliance. Gaps: Quay Storm HTTP path, Switch pack, Error-workflow pack, Credential pack, run totals.

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.
