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

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?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Tested · Works. 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.
- What is the Chain LLM Pattern SkillProof Score?
- 9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- 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.
