Designed the same call-transcript scoring workflow with and without the skill: the skill version routes the weighted urgency formula (0.4/0.3/0.3) to a deterministic Code node and swaps the generic AI Agent for a schema-bound Information Extractor node, sidestepping exactly the LLM-arithmetic failure mode a baseline design walked straight into.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Chain LLM Pattern does

Encodes a 3-stage n8n workflow pattern (Information Extractor -> Basic LLM Chain -> Code node) for tasks that combine extraction and reasoning, such as call-transcript triage or lead scoring. Specifies node types, per-stage model choice, temperature, token budgets, and the rule that weighted-arithmetic scoring belongs in a deterministic Code node, not an LLM call. Triggers on n8n + multi-step LLM chain phrasing ("extract entities then categorize", "chain_llm", "LLM pipeline").

How to install Chain LLM Pattern

git clone https://github.com/masteranime/n8n-claude-skills
cd n8n-claude-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r skills/chain-llm-pattern ~/.claude/skills/chain-llm-pattern

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Chain LLM Pattern

  • /chain-llm-pattern Production n8n patterns for multi-stage LLM extraction, classification, and scoring chains.

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Design an n8n chain that extracts and scores customer call transcripts
  • How should I split entity extraction from scoring in my LLM pipeline?
  • Build a lead-scoring workflow using an LLM chain plus a code node

Frequently asked questions

Is the Chain LLM Pattern skill free?
Yes. The skill itself is free from masteranime/n8n-claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
Does Chain LLM Pattern work with Claude Code?

How do I install Chain LLM Pattern?
Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
Can I use Chain LLM Pattern with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
