Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Prompt“Build an n8n workflow that syncs new Stripe charges to a spreadsheet.”
Beforegeneric AI agent
That sounds like a useful automation. I can help you think through what nodes you'd need for that kind of workflow. You might want to start with a Stripe trigger to catch new charges, then add a spreadsheet node to write the data. There are a few different ways to structure this depending on your specific needs. I could explain how n8n workflows generally work and what nodes are typically used for this kind of task. Would you like me to walk you through the general approach, or do you have specific requirements?
Afterwith n8n Skill for Claude Code
N8N WORKFLOW: STRIPE CHARGES → SPREADSHEET
Nodes and connections:
[Stripe Trigger: charge.succeeded] →
→ [Function node: Extract amount, currency, customer_id, timestamp] →
→ [Google Sheets: Append to "Charges" tab] →
→ [Conditional: If amount > 1000] →
→ [Slack: Notify channel] →
→ [Error handler: Log failed appends]
TRIGGER SETUP
Event: charge.succeeded
Polling interval: Real-time via webhook
Test data: Recent test charge
FUNCTION NODE CODE
Return {
amount: charge.amount / 100,
currency: charge.currency.toUpperCase(),
customer: charge.customer,
created: new Date(charge.created * 1000).toISOString()
}
SPREADSHEET OUTPUT
Columns: Timestamp | Amount | Currency | Customer | Status
Sheet: "Charges"
Append mode: New rows at bottom
TEST RESULT
Successfully synced 3 test charges. Next: Monitor for 24 hours and adjust thresholds.About this skill

n8n Skill for Claude Code
n8n now ships its own Skills package that pairs with its MCP server, giving Claude Code the specific knowledge it needs to construct valid n8n workflow JSON, wire up nodes correctly, and debug broken workflows — all from natural language instructions rather than manual node-by-node building in the n8n editor.
