Which automation platforms are supported?

This skill supports Microsoft Power Automate, n8n, Make (formerly Integromat), Zapier, and other platforms that utilize JSON-based workflow definitions.

Can it help reduce my automation costs?

Yes, it identifies opportunities to reduce API calls, optimize loops, and implement filtering at the source, which can lower operation consumption and costs on platforms like Make or Zapier.

How does it prevent errors when accessing data variables?

It performs a 'Phase 0' analysis that validates whether variables are arrays of primitives or objects by checking filter clauses and variable declarations before suggesting any changes.

Does it modify the functionality of my workflows?

No, the primary goal is to maintain functional equivalence while improving the underlying logic, performance, and reliability unless you specifically ask for new features.
