🔍 How to Search for Solutions

Method 1: By Problem

"I'm getting error X" → n8n-best-practices "Need to scrape site Y" → anti-scraping "OAuth token expired" → oauth-automation

Method 2: By Technology

YouTube → video-processing + oauth-automation Notion → notion-operations AI/LLM → ai-integration Cloudflare → anti-scraping

Method 3: By Pattern

Single page → anti-scraping + html-parsing Multi-page → Add pagination With AI → Add ai-integration Save to Notion → Add notion-operations

Method 4: By Keyword

# Search in skills directory
grep -r "keyword" /mnt/d/work/n8n_agent/n8n-skills/*/README.md

💡 Tips for Success

Golden Rules

1. •Check Best Practices FIRST - Saves hours of debugging
2. •Use ES5 syntax only - No arrow functions, template literals
3. •Use require('https') - Not $http or axios
4. •Export environment variables - Don't just source
5. •Preserve data flow - Always spread previous data

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• •❌ Using ES6 syntax in Code nodes
• •❌ Using $http for HTTP requests
• •❌ Not exporting environment variables
• •❌ Losing upstream data in transformations
• •❌ Hardcoding credentials

When Stuck

1. •Check n8n-best-practices/README.md
2. •Search relevant skill documentation
3. •Check error message against known issues
4. •Test code outside n8n first
5. •Simplify workflow to isolate problem
