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

automation-quick-fix 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 8d 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.

Automation Quick Fix

Fast-track resolver for common automation workflow error patterns across multiple platforms with immediate, proven solutions.

Supported Platforms

  • Power Automate (Microsoft)
  • n8n (Open-source)
  • Make (formerly Integromat)
  • Zapier
  • Other JSON-based workflow platforms

Purpose

Provides rapid fixes for frequently encountered automation workflow errors across all platforms:

  • Authentication errors (401/403)
  • Throttling errors (429)
  • Data format issues (JSON parsing, data transformation)
  • Timeout errors
  • Not found errors (404)
  • Basic expression/formula errors

When to use this skill: Error matches a well-known pattern When to use automation-debugger instead: Unknown error, complex scenario, or quick fix doesn't resolve

Activation Triggers

Activates for messages like:

  • "Quick fix for 429 error in SharePoint/API/webhook"
  • "Fast solution for authentication error in n8n"
  • "I'm getting throttled in Make, need immediate fix"
  • "Parse JSON is failing in Zapier, quick help"
  • "Function expects one parameter but was invoked with 2"
  • "Unable to process template language expressions"
  • "Fix this expression/filter/query/condition"
  • User provides code snippet and asks for "quick fix" or "fix this"
  • Status codes: 401, 403, 404, 429 with platform/connector context
  • Platform-specific: "n8n node error", "Make scenario failing", "Power Automate action issue"

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Data Structure Check (NEW!)

Before applying any quick fix, quickly verify data structures in your flow:

Quick Data Type Check

// In filters/queries, check the where clause:

// Array of STRINGS (primitives):
"where": "@contains(item(), 'text')"  // ← item() without property

// Array of OBJECTS:
"where": "@contains(item()?['Name'], 'text')"  // ← item()?['Property']

If your flow has data structure mismatches (filter uses item() but loop uses items('Loop')?['Property']), this is NOT a quick fix scenario → use automation-debugger instead.

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.
