    - claude login --api-key $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    - claude '/fix:types && /test'
  only:
    - merge_requests

  - lint
  - test
  - review
  - deploy

before_script:
  - npm install -g @anthropic-ai/claude-code
  - claude login --api-key $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

  stage: lint
  script:
    - claude '/fix:types'
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - src/
    expire_in: 1 hour

test:
  stage: test
  script:
    - npm test || claude '/fix:test analyze failures and fix'
  coverage: '/Coverage: \d+\.\d+%/'

      claude "Review this merge request:
      - Check code quality
      - Verify tests
      - Review security
      - Assess performance" > review.md
  artifacts:
    reports:

  retry:
    max: 2
    when:
      - script_failure
  after_script:
    - |
      if [ $CI_JOB_STATUS == 'failed' ]; then
        claude '/fix:test analyze CI logs and fix issues'
        git add .
        git commit -m "fix: auto-fix from CI"
        git push origin HEAD:$CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
      fi

Common Patterns

PR Comment Bot

Post Claude reviews as PR comments:

# GitHub Actions
- name: Comment PR
  uses: actions/github-script@v6
  with:
    script: |
      const review = process.env.CLAUDE_REVIEW
      github.rest.pulls.createReview({
        owner: context.repo.owner,
        repo: context.repo.repo,
        pull_number: context.issue.number,
        body: review,
        event: 'COMMENT'
      })

Conditional Execution

Run Claude only on certain conditions:

# Run on large PRs only
- name: Review Large PRs
  if: ${{ github.event.pull_request.changed_files > 10 }}
  uses: anthropic/claude-code-action@v1
  with:
    command: '/review:codebase analyze changes'

Cost Control

Limit CI usage to control costs:

# Skip for draft PRs
- name: Claude Review
  if: ${{ !github.event.pull_request.draft }}
  uses: anthropic/claude-code-action@v1

# Run only on specific branches
- name: Claude Check
  if: startsWith(github.ref, 'refs/heads/release/')
  uses: anthropic/claude-code-action@v1

Security Best Practices

API Key Management

GitHub:

Settings → Secrets and variables → Actions
Add: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

GitLab:

Settings → CI/CD → Variables
Add: ANTHROPIC_API_KEY (Protected, Masked)

Restricted Permissions

GitHub Actions:

permissions:
  contents: read
  pull-requests: write
  issues: write

GitLab CI:

variables:
  GIT_STRATEGY: clone
  GIT_DEPTH: 1

Secrets Scanning

Prevent API key exposure:

- name: Scan for Secrets
  run: |
    if git diff | grep -i "ANTHROPIC_API_KEY"; then
      echo "API key detected in diff!"
      exit 1
    fi

Monitoring & Debugging

Workflow Logs

GitHub Actions:

- name: Debug Info
  run: |
    echo "Workflow: ${{ github.workflow }}"
    echo "Event: ${{ github.event_name }}"
    echo "Ref: ${{ github.ref }}"

GitLab CI:

debug:
  script:
    - echo "Pipeline ID: $CI_PIPELINE_ID"
    - echo "Job ID: $CI_JOB_ID"
    - echo "Branch: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH"

Artifacts

Save Claude outputs:

# GitHub
- name: Save Claude Output
  uses: actions/upload-artifact@v3
  with:
    name: claude-results
    path: claude-output.md

# GitLab
artifacts:
  paths:
    - claude-output.md
  expire_in: 1 week

Error Handling

- name: Claude Task
  continue-on-error: true
  id: claude
  uses: anthropic/claude-code-action@v1

- name: Handle Failure
  if: steps.claude.outcome == 'failure'
  run: |
    echo "Claude task failed, continuing anyway"

Performance Optimization

Caching

GitHub Actions:

- uses: actions/cache@v3
  with:
    path: ~/.claude/cache
    key: claude-cache-${{ hashFiles('package-lock.json') }}

GitLab CI:

cache:
  key: claude-cache
  paths:
    - .claude/cache

Parallel Execution

# GitHub - Matrix builds
strategy:
  matrix:
    task: [lint, test, review]
steps:
  - run: claude "/${{ matrix.task }}"

# GitLab - Parallel jobs
test:
  parallel: 3
  script:
    - claude "/test --shard $CI_NODE_INDEX/$CI_NODE_TOTAL"
