How does the skill handle conditional fields?

It uses property dependencies to identify when fields should appear, such as showing the 'body' field only when 'sendBody' is set to true in an HTTP node.

Does this skill help with IF node conditions?

Yes, it provides specific patterns for binary and unary operators, ensuring fields like 'value2' are only included when required by the selected operation.

What is operation-aware configuration in n8n?

It means the required fields change based on the selected resource and operation. For example, a Slack 'post' operation requires different fields than a Slack 'update' operation.

When should I use get_node_essentials vs get_node_info?

Use get_node_essentials for starting 90% of configurations as it is faster and covers required fields. Use get_node_info only when you need the full schema or advanced options.
