What zapier-make-patterns does

The skill offers guidance on choosing Zapier, Make, or code for an automation task. It covers trigger-led actions, ordered sequences, and conditional branches. Think of it as planning guidance, not a ready-made connection to either service.

It flags several workflow mistakes: typing into dropdown fields, skipping error handling, and relying on hardcoded values. Other sections address duplicates and failures that follow app updates. Dropdown text entry is marked critical, so select an available option instead of typing one in.

The skill is for Claude Code. One installation option is npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill workflow-automation/zapier-make-patterns.

What it helps with

choose between Zapier, Make, and a code-based workflow
map actions that follow a trigger
branch a scenario when conditions differ
spot missing error handling and hardcoded values
investigate duplicates or breakage after an app update

Example prompts for the agent
