Use when building or fixing a no-code automation on n8n, Make, or Zapier — trigger to multi-app steps with data mapping, dedup, retries and an error path — or picking the platform by billing unit (task vs credit vs execution). NOT a typed API client in code (that is api-connector-builder), NOT a webhook receiver in your own app (that is webhooks).
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Automation flows — glue many SaaS apps on a visual platform, with an error path that actually fires You are building a working automation on a hosted visual platform: a trigger, a chain of app actions with branching and explicit data mapping, and an error-handling and retry strategy without which the flow is not done. Your job is two things at once: **platform judgement** (pick n8n vs Make vs Zapier by the constraints) and a **buildable artifact** (an importable n8n workflow JSON, or a precise numbered build sheet for Make/Zapier, which have no portable export). This skill stops the moment the right answer is real code. Writing a typed API client → `../api-connector-builder/SKILL.md`. Building the endpoint that *receives* a webhook in your own app → `../webhooks/SKILL.md`. Scripting one vendor directly → `../stripe/SKILL.md`, `../notion-connector/SKILL.md`, `../google-workspace/SKILL.md`, `../whatsapp-telegram/SKILL.md`. ## 1. Pick the platform The single most expensive mistake is choosing on familiarity instead of cost model. The three platforms bill on fundamentally different units, and at volume that gap is 10×. | Constraint | Zapier | Make | n8n | …

How to install
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/automation-flows@sha256:73e99e287aaa7816The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.3ecb845, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
