⚙️ Automation & Data Skills

Here, the skills stop just talking and start operate: review n8n automations like a senior engineer, orchestrate a multi-agent pipeline that finds and enriches local leads, and score each lead across three dimensions so you know who to contact first. Three skills that become repeatable processes.

🔍 n8n Workflow Reviewer

A skill that has Claude review your n8n automations like a senior architect: five categories, findings named node by node, and a prioritized list of fixes.

What it is:

Treat an n8n workflow as code: it has bugs, technical debt, and failure points. The reviewer performs the audit you would do in a pull request.

Why learn:

Automations break in production precisely where no one looked. A structured review catches that before the customer does.

Key concepts:

Structured audit · actionable finding · senior engineer persona · "no fluff".

What it is:

The skill accepts complete JSON, partial JSON, a text description, an error message, or a canvas screenshot—and adapts what it can review for each format.

Why learn:

Accepting imperfect input is what makes the skill truly usable—nobody always has clean JSON on hand.

Key concepts:

Flexible input · graceful degradation · "say what can't be evaluated".

What it is:

The fixed framework: 🔴 breaking errors, 🟡 silent errors, 🔵 performance, 🟢 maintainability, and ✅ priority list.

Why learn:

Running the same five categories every time removes reviewer bias and ensures complete coverage.

Key concepts:

Fixed checklist · color-coded severity · "don't skip any category".

What it is:

No Error Trigger, no retry, no timeout, no failure alert — the workflow “runs” but loses data without anyone noticing.

Why learn:

It's the most valuable category: the error that appears is easy to spot; what's missing is what destroys trust in the system.

Key concepts:

Error Trigger · retry/timeout · alert on failure · "what data will disappear".

What it is:

Unnecessary API calls, missing pagination, loops where batch processing would work, nodes with default names, and logic buried in expressions.

Why learn:

Hidden costs eat into the margin; bad names make the "me six months from now" lose hours. Both have concrete fixes.

Key concepts:

Batch > loop · pagination · descriptive names · sticky notes.

What it is:

The tone rules (be direct, name the node, give the exact fix), the output format for each category, and the final verdict with a score from 0 to 10.

Why learn:

It’s the template you adapt to review any technical artifact—not just n8n.

Key concepts:

Direct tone · findings format · honest score · original SKILL.md.

🔥 Local Leads Abundance System

A skill pipeline that finds local businesses in directories, enriches contacts, creates a website as a gift, and starts a conversation through the contact form—all chained together.

What it is:

The overview: each step is a skill, and the output of one is the input for the next—a pipeline, not one giant skill.

Why learn:

It's the canonical example of combining several small skills into a system that delivers end-to-end results.

Key concepts:

Pipeline · contract between stages · one skill per stage.

What it is:

Use browser automation to open each card in a directory, read the profile, and structure the data in a spreadsheet.

Why learn:

The lead source determines the quality of the entire funnel — directories pre-qualify established businesses.

Key concepts:

Browser automation · prequalified source · structured data.

What it is:

Try one provider; if it doesn't find anything, move on to the next. Chaining multiple sources finds websites and LinkedIn profiles with high accuracy.

Why learn:

No single source covers everything; the cascade maximizes the success rate without paying for all of them at once.

Key concepts:

Waterfall · ordered fallback · increasing cost · accuracy.

What it is:

For each lead, create an improved version of their site (clone or redesign) and send it as a gift to start a conversation.

Why learn:

It's the difference between generic cold outreach and an approach where you've already delivered value before asking for anything.

Key concepts:

Lead magnet · upfront value · personalization at scale.

What it is:

The final step automatically fills out and submits the business’s own website contact form, with the gift attached.

Why learn:

Leaving the saturated channel (cold email) changes the response rate—and the sending screenshot becomes proof of delivery.

Key concepts:

Alternative channel · proof of delivery · ethical automation.

What it is:

How an orchestration skill calls each stage, passes the CSV along, and saves progress so you can pick up where you left off.

Why learn:

A long pipeline needs checkpoints and a data contract, or an error in step 4 makes you repeat steps 1 to 3.

Key concepts:

Orchestration · checkpoint · CSV contract · idempotency.

📊 Lead Scoring with Apify

A qualification skill that classifies each deal, scores brands across three dimensions using Google Search via Apify, and ranks them by outreach priority.

What it is:

Assign a score to each lead to order the outreach queue by likelihood to convert, instead of contacting them at random.

Why learn:

The bottleneck in outreach is your time. Prioritizing leads is what multiplies the return on the same effort.

Key concepts:

Prioritization · ICP · repeatable, unbiased scoring.

What it is:

Before scoring, the skill reads the site and classifies the business—only businesses with their own product (brand) enters scoring.

Why learn:

Scoring someone who isn't the target is wasteful. The classification filter cuts the noise before using API calls.

Key concepts:

Decision tree · signals in the HTML · filter before spending.

What it is:

Each brand gets 0–50 points for product development capability, 0–30 for data maturity, and 0–20 for brand maturity.

Why learn:

Dimensions with explicit weights make the score easy to understand: you know why a lead scored highly, not just that it did.

Key concepts:

Three dimensions · weights 50/30/20 · explainable score.

What it is:

Pass 1 reads only the site (free); pass 2 runs 5 Google searches via Apify per brand to find LinkedIn job titles, openings, and awards.

Why learn:

Collecting the low-cost signal first and only then paying for the search is the pattern that keeps cost per lead low.

Key concepts:

Two-pass · free vs. paid signal · ~$0,045 per brand.

What it is:

The score becomes a tier (≥70 Tier 1, 50–69 Tier 2, 30–49 Tier 3, <30 Tier 4), and the CSV includes subscores and the evidence for each one.

Why learn:

A clear output contract lets the next skill (outreach) consume the result without guesswork.

Key concepts:

Tiers · evidence by dimension · contract for downstream use.

What it is:

Two modes (full run and --phase2-only) and a checkpoint file that saves after each milestone so you can safely resume.

Why learn:

Scoring 78 brands takes hours; without a checkpoint, an interruption costs repeated time and API money.

Key concepts:

Checkpoint · idempotency · operating modes · author-created SKILL.md.
