   TaskWand▲140

   Hello HN, I built TaskWand (https://taskwand.io) to make creating n8n workflows faster and less error-prone. The Problem I love n8n, but building complex workflows from scratch takes time. While standard LLMs can suggest logic, they often "hallucinate" nodes that don't exist, get parameter names wrong, or output JSON structures that n8n can't actually import. The Solution I built a specialized RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) system. I indexed two thousands of working, verified n8n workflows. When you describe a task, the system retrieves relevant, valid workflow snippets to…

    Velane▲95

    n8n is built for humans dragging nodes on a canvas. That breaks down at B2B scale (embedding in a product, multi-tenant scalability, etc). n8n does have an MCP server so agents can create workflows too, but it outputs raw JSON. That's fine for n8n's engine, but painful for a coding agent (or a human reviewing its output) to read, write, diff, or debug. I'm building an alternative where workflows are authored by a coding agent in [a more dev-legible format] instead of JSON blobs, and execute it at scale.

    A tool to safely migrate GitHub Actions workflows to Ubuntu-slim runner▲69

    Hi HN! I’ve been running GitHub Actions workflows for a while, and when GitHub announced the new ubuntu-slim runners as a cheaper alternative to ubuntu-latest, I wanted to migrate—but figuring out which workflows are safe to switch turned out to be surprisingly tedious. You need to check for Docker usage, services, containers, step failures due to missing packages, and whether jobs rely on tools not available in the slim image. So I built gh-slimify, a GitHub CLI extension that automates all of this. It scans your repository, detects which jobs can be migrated, flags incompatible patterns,…
