Which automation platforms are supported?

It officially supports Power Automate, n8n, Make (formerly Integromat), and Zapier, along with other JSON-based workflow tools.

How does it find best practices?

It utilizes a high-thoroughness research sub-agent to search through platform-specific documentation and identify the most efficient architectural patterns.

Does this skill actually build the workflow?

No, it focuses on planning and architecture. Once the plan is finalized, you can use the 'automation-build-flow' skill to generate the actual code or configuration.

Can I use it for existing workflows?

This skill is optimized for the design phase of new workflows. For debugging or validating existing flows, it is recommended to use 'automation-debugger' or 'automation-validator'.

Productivity & Workflow

Guides users through the interactive design and planning of complex automation workflows across multiple platforms.

About

Automation Brainstorm is a specialized design advisor for Claude Code that helps users architect robust automation workflows for platforms like Power Automate, n8n, Make, and Zapier. By initiating a structured dialogue about triggers, data flows, and error handling, it prevents common pitfalls and researches platform-specific best practices using a dedicated research sub-agent. The skill culminates in a comprehensive implementation plan that provides a clear blueprint for building production-grade automations.
