credential / credentials — different parent groups. credential for raw CRUD on the active instance; credentials for recipes, inventory, starter-kits, and ensure/test against a recipe ID.workspace status --json returns two shapes: bound (has activeEnvironment block) or pending (has status: "dry-run"|"migration-required"). Probe j.activeEnvironment first.credential list --json returns every credential the API key can see across ALL projects. Each cred carries shared[] with project ownership; use /n8n-autopilot:find-credential for project-scoped lookup instead of grep-piping.push blocked when status is CONFLICT / MODIFIED_BOTH / DIVERGED / REMOTE_ONLY — see CLAUDE.md "Push-Gate" section. Bypass: N8N_AUTOPILOT_ALLOW_LOCAL_WINS=1.resolve --mode keep-current is unconditionally blocked by the push-gate. Same bypass as above.n8nac test cannot trigger schedule/manual/errorTrigger — only webhook/chat/form. For other triggers, prompt the user to "Execute Workflow" in the n8n UI (see build-workflow Path B).mcpTrigger workflows require manual UI publish after every push. n8nac push writes a new draft; the previously-published MCP endpoint may diverge.push will reject. Unarchive in n8n UI first (no n8nac command for this)./api/v1/data-tables is the only n8n public API path you may hit directly (see /n8n-autopilot:data-tables). Everything else goes through n8nac.init, init-auth, init-project no longer exist — use setup --mode <mode>. Post-setup binding is via env add / env auth set / env use (NOT workspace pin-instance, which is also removed). workspace set-project, workspace set-sync-folder, workspace clear-*, workspace migrate, workspace migrate-v1, and instance-target are all gone — use env update <name> --project-name/--workflows-path instead.Read n8nac-reference/reference.md — the full machine-generated help tree (61 command/subcommand blocks).
npx claudepluginhub neurawork-git/n8n-autopilot --plugin n8n-autopilotAuthoritative reference for every n8nac CLI command, subcommand, and flag (n8nac 2.3.6). Use this to look up exact flags, argument orders, and confirm existence before running --help.
Creates, edits n8n workflows as TypeScript files with node docs access and n8nac CLI for workspace init, preventing param errors.
