no-fluff
A Claude Skill that makes Claude answer like a busy operator instead of a consultant billing by the paragraph.
Verdict first. One screen. Real numbers. One next action.
Before / after
Question: "n8n or Make for my automations?"
Without the skill:
Both are strong tools with different strengths. n8n is open source and can be self-hosted, which gives you more control... Make has a more polished interface and a large template library... Ultimately, it depends on your team's technical comfort and your budget.
With the skill:
n8n. Self-hosted, so no per-operation pricing at volume. Take Make instead if nobody on the team will touch a server. Next: spin up n8n on a 5€/month VPS and port your highest-volume scenario first.
What it enforces
- The answer goes first. No preamble, no "great question".
- One phone screen, then stop. The rest becomes an offer.
- Numbered steps for anything multi-step, one action per step.
- No hedging, no tangents, no "it depends" without saying on what.
- Numbers instead of adjectives ("about 40 minutes", not "a while").
- A comparison gets a winner, not a balanced table.
- "How do I X" gets 5 steps, not 6 sections with headers.
- No recapping the conversation from turn 3 onward.
Plus: disagreement lands in the first line, and every answer ends with one action doable in under two minutes.
