What if your documentation actually controlled your automations?
Not described them. Not explained them after the fact. Controlled them.
That's the shift: .md files become the source of truth. Claude Code reads them. n8n runs what Claude builds. Change the markdown, change the system.
No more re-explaining context in every prompt. No more documentation that drifts out of sync within weeks. No more tribal knowledge that lives in one person's head.
One place to define how it works. Everything else derives from there.
TL;DR:
- .md files = config, not docs
- Claude Code = reads your rules, generates workflows
- n8n = executes what gets built
- Edit a document → system behavior changes
If you're tired of rebuilding the same patterns by hand, this is worth 10 minutes.
