Work Avoidance Pattern

소개

The Work Avoidance skill provides Claude with specialized logic to identify and bypass unnecessary tasks in CI/CD pipelines, release automation, and data synchronization. While idempotency ensures that repeating an action is safe, work avoidance prevents the action from executing at all, saving significant computational resources and time. By implementing techniques such as content hashing, volatile field exclusion, and existence checks, this skill helps developers build highly efficient, cost-effective automation that only triggers when meaningful changes occur.
