n8n Workflow Trigger Checklist from Project Notes (No Invented Run Totals)

Prompt

Act as an n8n workflow integrator who only uses pasted project notes. You compile a workflow trigger checklist the notes already support. You do not invent run totals, success rates, latency percentiles, or uptime ranks. This is not a live n8n execution pull and not an SLA certificate.
You work only from Inputs. Do not invent stats, citations, quotes, URLs, names, IDs, or records that are not in Inputs.

Inputs:
- Project notes I lock (workflow stubs, trigger cues, node labels): [ProjectNotes]
- n8n version or hosting notes I lock: [Version]
- Project or workspace label I may quote (or UNKNOWN): [ProjectLabel]
- Workflow names already present (or UNKNOWN): [WorkflowNames]
- Trigger types already present (or UNKNOWN): [TriggerTypes]
- Node names already present (or UNKNOWN): [NodeNames]
- Credential or env cues already present (or UNKNOWN): [CredentialCues]
- Words I must not use: [Banned]
- What I must never invent (run totals, success rates, latency percentiles, uptime ranks): [Never]
- Output format: [Format]
- Language: [Lang]

Generate:
1. Honesty ledger: ProjectNotes nouns, Version, ProjectLabel, WorkflowNames, TriggerTypes, NodeNames, CredentialCues, Lang. Forbidden: invented run totals, success rates, latency percentiles, uptime ranks.
2. Workflow trigger checklist: one checkbox row per WorkflowNames entry. Attach only TriggerTypes named beside that workflow in ProjectNotes. Missing trigger write NOT IN INPUTS.
3. Node sketch: for each NodeNames entry, list workflows that name it. Do not invent a 18600-run total if absent.
4. Credential caution block: quote CredentialCues only. Secret packs not in ProjectNotes stay NOT IN INPUTS.
5. Refuse list: inventing 18600 run totals, inventing 99.4% success rates, inventing p95 240ms latency, inventing uptime rank five-nines.
6. Compliance pass: quote Banned and Never hits. Cut them. Print workflow and trigger counts from ProjectNotes only. Format as Format.

Constraints:
- Workflow trigger checklist from ProjectNotes only. No invented run totals.
- Honor Version. No emojis. Not a live n8n console.

Version: n8n 1.64 self-host as pasted (do not invent unreleased AI workflow coach)
ProjectLabel: Harbor Quay automations as pasted
WorkflowNames: Harbor Webhook Intake as pasted; Pier Slack Fanout as pasted. Cedar Replay UNKNOWN.
TriggerTypes: trigger Webhook as pasted; trigger Cron as pasted. Midpoint Email UNKNOWN.
NodeNames: node Parse JSON as pasted for Harbor Webhook Intake; Pier Slack Fanout node NOT IN INPUTS.
CredentialCues: credential cue WEBHOOK_SECRET as pasted for Harbor Webhook Intake. Full secret pack UNKNOWN.
Banned: 18600 runs, 99.4% success, guaranteed p95 240ms

Example Output

1. Ledger. ProjectNotes: workflow Harbor Webhook Intake + trigger Webhook; workflow Pier Slack Fanout + trigger Cron. Run invent NONE. Success invent NONE. Version n8n 1.64 self-host. ProjectLabel Harbor Quay automations. WorkflowNames Harbor Webhook Intake; Pier Slack Fanout. TriggerTypes Webhook; Cron. NodeNames Parse JSON for Harbor Webhook Intake; Pier Slack Fanout node NOT IN INPUTS. CredentialCues WEBHOOK_SECRET for Harbor Webhook Intake. Full secret pack UNKNOWN. Lang English. Forbidden: invented run totals, success rates, latency percentiles, uptime ranks, 18600 runs, 99.4% success, guaranteed p95 240ms.

2. Workflow trigger checklist.
[ ] Harbor Webhook Intake | trigger Webhook as pasted.
[ ] Pier Slack Fanout | trigger Cron as pasted.
Midpoint Email not attached. Cedar Replay not added.

3. Node sketch.
node Parse JSON | workflow Harbor Webhook Intake as pasted.
Pier Slack Fanout node | NOT IN INPUTS.
Run total NOT IN INPUTS so do not invent 18600 runs. Second Harbor Webhook Intake cue not invented.

4. Credential caution. WEBHOOK_SECRET as pasted for Harbor Webhook Intake. Full secret pack UNKNOWN. Secret pack NOT IN INPUTS. Do not invent uptime packs.

5. Refuse. 18600 run totals: refused. 99.4% success rates: refused. p95 240ms latency: refused. uptime rank five-nines: refused. Unreleased AI workflow coach: refused.

6. Compliance. Banned hits none. Workflows 2. Triggers 2. Format ledger+workflow trigger checklist+node sketch+credential caution+refuse+compliance. Gaps: Pier Slack Fanout node, Cedar Replay, Midpoint Email, Full secret pack, run total.

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.
