Use when building new workflows, designing workflow structure, choosing workflow patterns, planning workflow architecture, or asking about webhook processing, HTTP API integration, database operations, AI agent workflows, or scheduled tasks.
Interpret validation errors and guide fixing them. Use when encountering validation errors, validation warnings, false positives, operator structure issues, or need help understanding validation results. Also use when asking about validation profiles, error types, or the validation loop process.
Validate n8n expression syntax and fix common errors. Use when writing n8n expressions, using {{}} syntax, accessing $json/$node variables, troubleshooting expression errors, or working with webhook data in workflows.
Agent Teams interaction protocol for PACT specialist agents. Auto-loaded via agent frontmatter. Defines how teammates start work, communicate, report completion, and handle blockers.
PACT orchestrator operating instructions: S5 governance, context economy, delegation discipline, agent dispatch, and workflow engagement. Referenced each turn by the Agent Team lead as operating reference; not invoked per turn. For orchestrator role only — teammates use their agent body and pact-agent-teams skill instead.
