name: ci-gen 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

# 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

Part of the LXGIC Dev Toolkit

This is one of 110+ free developer tools built by LXGIC Studios. No paywalls, no sign-ups, no API keys on free tiers. Just tools that work.

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.

MIT. Free forever. Use it however you want.

ai-ci

Setting up CI/CD from scratch is a pain. This tool looks at your project and generates the right GitHub Actions workflow for it.

Install

npm install -g ai-ci

Usage

# Generate a GitHub Actions workflow
npx ai-ci

# Specify provider and deploy target
npx ai-ci --provider github --deploy vercel

# Preview without writing
npx ai-ci --preview

# Different deploy targets
npx ai-ci --deploy netlify
npx ai-ci --deploy aws
npx ai-ci --deploy docker

What it does

Scans your project to figure out the language, framework, test setup, and build steps. Then generates a proper CI/CD workflow with linting, testing, building, and deployment configured.

Supported

• Providers: GitHub Actions (more coming)
• Deploy targets: Vercel, Netlify, AWS, Docker, Fly.io, Railway
• Languages: Node.js, Python, Go, Rust, Ruby, Java

Requirements

Set your OPENAI_API_KEY environment variable.
