IF `create <desc>`:

CONTEXT: Manage the full lifecycle of a single workflow project. Chains: /n8n-new OR /n8n-import → /n8n-modify → /n8n-execute → /n8n-checkpoint → /n8n-publish.

REQUIRES: ~/.claude/n8n-config.json

STEPS:

1. READ config — confirm connected
2. PARSE $ARGUMENTS → determine action: create, import, modify, test, publish, or full-cycle

IF create <desc>:

3. RUN /n8n-new logic: parse NL → consult catalog → create project → build JSON → deploy
4. OUTPUT: project created at projects//

IF import <id>:

5. RUN /n8n-import logic: GET workflow → create project → save original + draft → detect creds
6. OUTPUT: project imported at projects//

IF modify <changes>:

7. READ projects//draft/workflow.json
8. RUN /n8n-modify logic: consult catalog → apply changes to draft → log
9. OUTPUT: draft updated

IF test:

10. READ projects//meta.json for workflow_id
11. POST <baseUrl>/api/v1/workflows/<id>/run
12. CAPTURE execution result
13. IF success → suggest: /n8n-lifecycle <slug> publish
14. IF fail → show error, suggest: /n8n-lifecycle <slug> modify <fix>

IF publish:

15. AUTO-CHECKPOINT draft as v
16. VERIFY credentials in n8n
17. PATCH or POST workflow to API
18. UPDATE original + meta
19. OUTPUT: published

IF no specific action (full-cycle):

20. GUIDE user through: create/import → modify → test → checkpoint → publish
21. ASK at each gate: proceed, modify more, or stop

OUTPUT per action:

[<ACTION>] <slug>: <result summary>
Lifecycle: create → modify → test → checkpoint → publish
Current stage: <stage>
Next: <suggested next action>

RULES:

• Original never modified — all changes in draft
• Auto-checkpoint before every publish
• Test execution before publishing (warn if skipped)
• Each action is independently re-runnable
