How to Implement in n8n

Step 1: Set up your trigger node

  • Use whatever trigger you need (webhook, schedule, manual, etc.)
  • Ensure it outputs a topic field

Step 2: Add HTTP Request or Claude AI node

  • If using HTTP Request to Claude API:
- Method: POST - URL: https://api.anthropic.com/v1/messages - Authentication: Add your API key in headers Step 3: Configure the prompt
  • In the message content, paste the system prompt above
  • The {{ $json.topic }} expression will automatically pull from the previous node
  • The {{ $now.format('yyyy-MM-dd') }} will insert today's date

Step 4: Add a Write Binary File or HTTP Request node

  • Take the Claude output
  • Save it directly as a .md file to your Astro content directory

Expression examples for your workflow:

`javascript // To generate a filename: {{ $json.topic.toLowerCase().replace(/\s+/g, '-') }}.md

// To ensure clean output (remove any accidental wrapping): {{ $json.output.trim() }} `

Tone Recommendation

The current tone is business-formal but approachable — perfect for:

  • Club committee members
  • Volunteer administrators
  • Coaches looking for professional development

If you want it more conversational, I can adjust to include:

  • More direct address ("you'll find...")
  • Anecdotes and storytelling
  • Slightly lighter language while maintaining authority
