docs: add template attribution requirements and acknowledgments

- Add mandatory attribution instructions to Claude Project Setup
- Require AI to share template author name, username, and n8n.io link
- Add Template Attribution section to Acknowledgments
- Credit top template contributors without specific counts
- Explain automatic attribution behavior in AI agent instructions

This ensures proper credit to template creators and demonstrates respect
for the n8n community's contributions while maintaining legal compliance.

 - **TEMPLATES FIRST** - Always check for existing templates before building from scratch (2,500+ available!)
+- **ATTRIBUTION REQUIRED** - Always credit template authors with name, username, and link to n8n.io
 - **SMART FILTERING** - Use metadata filters to find templates matching user skill level and time constraints
 - **USE CODE NODE ONLY WHEN IT IS NECESSARY** - always prefer to use standard nodes over code node. Use code node only when you are sure you need it.
 - **VALIDATE EARLY AND OFTEN** - Catch errors before they reach deployment

+### Template Attribution
+
+All workflow templates in this project are fetched from n8n's public template gallery at [n8n.io/workflows](https://n8n.io/workflows). Each template includes:
+- Full attribution to the original creator (name and username)
+- Direct link to the source template on n8n.io
+- Original workflow ID for reference
+
+The AI agent instructions in this project contain mandatory attribution requirements. When using any template, the AI will automatically:
+- Share the template author's name and username
+- Provide a direct link to the original template on n8n.io
+- Display attribution in the format: "This workflow is based on a template by **[author]** (@[username]). View the original at: [url]"
+
+Template creators retain all rights to their workflows. This project indexes templates to improve discoverability through AI assistants. If you're a template creator and have concerns about your template being indexed, please open an issue.
+
+Special thanks to the prolific template contributors whose work helps thousands of users automate their workflows, including:
+**David Ashby** (@cfomodz), **Yaron Been** (@yaron-nofluff), **Jimleuk** (@jimleuk), **Davide** (@n3witalia), **David Olusola** (@dae221), **Ranjan Dailata** (@ranjancse), **Airtop** (@cesar-at-airtop), **Joseph LePage** (@joe), **Don Jayamaha Jr** (@don-the-gem-dealer), **Angel Menendez** (@djangelic), and the entire n8n community of creators!
