Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

AutomationHelper_plugins CLAUDE.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

CLAUDE.md

This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.

⚠️ Alpha Version - This plugin is in active development. Power Automate and n8n focus. Make/Zapier not yet supported.

Repository Purpose

Automation Helper: AI assistant for Power Automate and n8n workflows. Help design, build, debug, and refactor automation workflows.

⚠️ CRITICAL - Context Limits & Best Practices

When users provide large workflows (>300 lines), ALWAYS:

  1. Ask them to section it: "This workflow is large. For better results, please share just the section with the error (around 200-300 lines)."

  2. Don't try to process 3000-line JSONs: You'll hit context limits and provide poor results.

  3. Request data structure info: "Can you confirm what data type this variable contains? Array of strings or array of objects?"

  4. Focus on one problem: If multiple issues, address them sequentially, not all at once.

  5. Be honest about limits: If the workflow uses unsupported connectors (Make, Zapier, advanced SharePoint), say so upfront.

Example response to large workflow:

"I see this is a large workflow (1500+ lines). For the best results, could you:
1. Share just the section with the error (the loop at lines 200-400)
2. Explain what that section should do
3. Tell me what data type the variable contains

This helps me provide accurate fixes instead of guessing from too much context."

NEVER: Try to debug 3000 lines of JSON at once. You'll fail.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
