Handle files and binary data in n8n correctly. Use when working with files, images, PDFs, attachments, uploads or downloads, base64, vision/multimodal input, or when an AI agent needs a file as tool input or output — and whenever the user mentions $binary, binaryPropertyName, "read the PDF", "attach the file", "send the image", Merge losing binary, or a CDN for chat images. Covers the $binary vs $json split, reading/writing binary, keeping binary alive across transforms with Merge, the agent-tool binary boundary, and the CDN/URL requirement for chat surfaces.
Turn a research paper into teaching materials — a lecture outline, the 3-5 results worth presenting (with intuition), a slide skeleton ready for `/create-lecture`, discussion questions, and a problem-set brief. Reads the paper end-to-end and pitches to a stated audience level. Use when user says "turn this paper into a lecture", "teach from this paper", "build slides from this PDF", "make teaching materials from X", "I'm presenting this paper to my class".
学术审查 / research-integrity screening of a manuscript's figures and reported numbers. Finds duplicated, reused, or transformed image panels and data anomalies: copied value blocks, fixed differences/ratios between groups, digit patterns, Benford deviations, GRIM/GRIMMER-inconsistent means and SDs, p-values mismatching their statistics. Use for 学术诚信, 图片查重, 论文图像重复, 数据造假筛查, Source Data 审查, 末位数字, 本福特, GRIM, statcheck, p 值核对, or when the user attaches a PDF, image directory, or CSV/Excel source data to audit.
Synthesizes and deploys complete, domain-specific Gemini Enterprise demo environments directly to Google Cloud. Use when the user asks to create an AI agent demo for any customer domain (e.g. 'example.com', 'example.co.jp', 'example.de', 'example.fr' - any company, any industry, any region) or business goal, generate realistic BigQuery/Firestore sample datasets, create external demo files (PDF, Excel, scanned images), stage them in Cloud Storage and upload them to the deploying account's Google Drive, scaffold ADK multi-agent architectures with MCP tools and A2UI cards, deploy to Cloud Run, publish to Gemini Enterprise, and generate 7 structured demo prompts in any language. Confirms the requirements interactively and presents a demo architecture & data model plan (Mermaid ER diagram, external file lineage, target project) for approval before anything is deployed. Also triggered by /ge-demo-generator.
Scrape, crawl, map, search, parse, and extract web data with fastCRW — the open-source, self-hostable Firecrawl alternative (single Rust binary, ~14 MB RAM, Firecrawl-compatible /v1 + /v2 API). Use whenever the user needs page content, site-wide extraction, URL discovery, web search, PDF parsing, structured JSON from pages, or change tracking. Also use when the user mentions Firecrawl, Tavily, Crawl4AI, or "scrape/crawl/map/fetch/get the page/read this site/search the web" — crw is a drop-in for the Firecrawl SDKs.
Detects and extracts tabular laboratory panels from PDFs, scans, and images into structured rows ready for OpenMed and FHIR. Use when the user has a CBC, CMP, lipid panel, or other lab report as a scanned image / PDF / spreadsheet and needs the test name, value, unit, reference range, and abnormal flag as clean rows. Trigger keywords: lab table extraction, lab panel, OCR labs, table detection, layout analysis, header detection, reference range column, abnormal flag column, LOINC, UCUM, CBC, CMP, structured labs. Pairs before OpenMed: OCR/parse the table on-device (openmed.multimodal.ocr.ocr, read_table), de-identify embedded PHI with openmed.deidentify, then hand structured rows to LOINC/UCUM mapping and openmed.clinical lab flagging. Image/CSV/TSV intake is supported; PDF/DOCX raise UnsupportedDocumentError — render those to images or text first.
Penetration test and red team report writing methodology. Covers executive summary structuring (risk-led narrative for non-technical readers), technical finding format (title, severity, affected scope, narrative, reproduction steps, impact, remediation, references), CVSS v3.1 / v4.0 scoring with vector justification, OWASP risk rating, evidence hygiene (redacting credentials, hashing client data, time-stamping every action), screenshot and PoC artifact management, finding chain narratives, scope/limitations/assumptions documentation, retest evidence and remediation tracking, deliverable formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, JSON for SIEM ingestion), client-customer-deliverable separation, and common report mistakes (over-CVSSing, undermining the triager, missing the 'so what'). Use at the end of an engagement when authoring a deliverable, when restructuring a draft for executive readability, or when establishing a reusable report template for a consulting practice.
Verify claims, quotations, citations and references against live primary sources, and produce a reproducible audit record instead of an assertion. Use when asked to: check whether a quotation, verse, statistic, date, attribution or citation is accurate; verify references before publishing a report, thesis, article, slide deck or legal filing; confirm a text against an authoritative database; cross-check a claim across independent sources; build a citation register or verification appendix; find out whether two datasets agree; detect a misattributed or fabricated quotation; or audit a document's existing citations. Source-agnostic by design, with working providers for REST/JSON APIs, scraped HTML, bulk corpora, bibliographic catalogues (OpenLibrary), DOI resolution (Crossref) and reference works (Wikipedia) -- including scriptural tiers (Qur'an.com, sunnah.com and an independent hadith corpus) with full diacritic handling for Arabic, Hebrew, Greek and any script with optional marks. Covers content-addressed matching when sources disagree on numbering, graded match verdicts, byte-level integrity checks, published-string verification, and a catalogue of silent failure modes (identifier divergence, mojibake, scraper blocking, false-positive keyword rules, missing glyphs, unreliable PDF text layers).
Create, read, edit, and check Word documents (.docx), including reports, letters, and formatted tables. Use when a DOCX file is an input or requested deliverable. Load this skill before running Office commands. Use only bundled LibreOffice unless the user explicitly opts out; without that opt-out, do not search for another LibreOffice executable.
Plain text files in a repository that tell a coding agent how the project works: commands to run, conventions to follow and things to avoid. CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, cursor rules and skills are the common kinds.
CLAUDE.md or AGENTS.md?
CLAUDE.md is read by Claude Code. AGENTS.md is an open format that Codex, Cursor and other agents read. Many projects keep one and point the other at it.
What is a skill?
A folder with a SKILL.md that describes one capability, such as filling PDFs or reviewing code. The agent loads it only when the task calls for it.
Can I search my own team's files too?
Your agents already can, over MCP, limited to the files you're allowed to read. Searching them from this page is coming.
