System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Work avoidance detects when an operation isn't needed and skips it entirely. Unlike idempotency, work avoidance prevents the run from happening at all. It helps prevent unnecessary PRs, builds, and processing cycles.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detects when work is not required to avoid PRs, builds, and processing cycles.
  • Works across distributed workflows, release automation, scheduled jobs, monorepo builds, API synchronization, and mutex-locked pipelines.
  • Provides guidance on techniques to determine "work needed" such as content hashing, volatile field exclusion, and existence checks.

Quick Start

Enable a pre-check in your CI/CD pipeline to skip downstream steps when no meaningful changes are detected.
