# n8n Node Configuration

Expert guidance for operation-aware node configuration with property dependencies.

## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use
- You need to configure an n8n node correctly for a specific resource and operation.
- The task involves required fields, property dependencies, or choosing the right `get_node` detail level.
- You are troubleshooting node setup rather than overall workflow architecture.

## Limitations
- Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
- Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.
