CI/CD Workflow Generator

Point this at any project and get a working GitHub Actions workflow. It scans your codebase, detects the stack, and generates a pipeline that actually makes sense for your setup.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-ci ./my-project

What It Does

Scans your project to detect framework, language, and dependencies
Generates GitHub Actions workflow with proper build and test steps
Includes caching for faster CI runs
Sets up deployment steps based on common platforms
Creates separate workflows for PRs vs main branch pushes

Usage Examples

# Analyze current directory
npx ai-ci .

# Generate for a specific project
npx ai-ci ./apps/frontend

# Include deployment to Vercel
npx ai-ci . --deploy vercel

Best Practices

Review the output - AI generates good defaults but tweak for your exact needs
Start with tests only - Get CI green first, add deployment later
Use secrets properly - The workflow references secrets, make sure to add them in GitHub
Keep it simple - Don't overcomplicate your first pipeline

When to Use This

Starting a new project and need CI fast
Migrating from another CI system to GitHub Actions
Learning GitHub Actions syntax through real examples
Standardizing CI across multiple repos
