| description | Generate GitHub Actions CI/CD workflows from project analysis. Use when setting up automated pipelines. |
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
npx ai-ci .
npx ai-ci ./apps/frontend
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

Requirements
No install needed. Just run with npx. Node.js 18+ recommended.
npx ai-ci --help
How It Works
The tool uses glob patterns to scan your project structure. It identifies package.json, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, and other config files to understand your stack. Then it generates a workflow YAML tailored to what it found.
