GitHub Actions Integration

Basic Setup

Create a workflow file:

hljs yaml
# .github/workflows/ai-review.yml
name: AI Code Review

on:
  pull_request:
    types: [opened, synchronize]

jobs:
  ai-review:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
        with:
          fetch-depth: 0

      - name: Setup Node.js
        uses: actions/setup-node@v4
        with:
          node-version: '20'

      - name: Install CCJK
        run: npm install -g ccjk

      - name: Run AI Review
        env:
          ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}

              body: changelog
            });

GitLab CI Integration

hljs yaml
# .gitlab-ci.yml
stages:
  - review
  - test
  - docs

variables:
  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

ai-review:
  stage: review
  image: node:20
  script:
    - npm install -g ccjk
    - ccjk review --ci --output gitlab-mr
  rules:
    - if: $CI_PIPELINE_SOURCE == "merge_request_event"

ai-test-coverage:
  stage: test
  image: node:20
  script:
    - npm ci
    - npm install -g ccjk
    - npm test -- --coverage
    - ccjk analyze coverage --input coverage/lcov.info --suggest-tests
  artifacts:
    reports:
      coverage_report:
        coverage_format: cobertura
        path: coverage/cobertura-coverage.xml

ai-docs:
  stage: docs
  image: node:20
  script:
    - npm install -g ccjk
    - ccjk docs generate --input src/ --output public/docs/
  artifacts:
    paths:
      - public/docs/
  rules:
    - if: $CI_COMMIT_BRANCH == "main"

Pre-commit Hooks

Setup with Husky

hljs bash
# Install husky
npm install -D husky
npx husky init

hljs bash
# .husky/pre-commit
#!/bin/sh
. "$(dirname "$0")/_/husky.sh"

# Run AI-assisted pre-commit checks
npx ccjk precommit --staged-only

Pre-commit Configuration

hljs yaml
# .claude/precommit.yaml
checks:
  - name: "Code Quality"
    command: ccjk lint --fix
    on: ["*.ts", "*.tsx", "*.js", "*.jsx"]

  - name: "Security Scan"
    command: ccjk security --quick
    on: ["*.ts", "*.tsx"]
    block: true  # Block commit if issues found

  - name: "Commit Message"
    command: ccjk commit --validate
    on: commit-msg

Best Practices

1. Rate Limiting

Avoid excessive API calls:

hljs yaml
# Only run on significant changes
on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - 'src/**'
      - '!src/**/*.test.*'
      - '!src/**/*.spec.*'
      - '!**/*.md'

2. Caching

Cache AI responses where appropriate:

hljs yaml
- name: Cache AI Responses
  uses: actions/cache@v3
  with:
    path: .ccjk-cache
    key: ccjk-${{ hashFiles('src/**') }}

3. Cost Management

Set spending limits:

hljs yaml
- name: AI Review
  env:
    CCJK_MAX_TOKENS: 10000
    CCJK_MAX_COST: 0.50
  run: ccjk review --ci

4. Fallback Handling

Handle API failures gracefully:

hljs yaml
- name: AI Review
  continue-on-error: true
  id: ai-review
  run: ccjk review --ci

- name: Fallback Notice
  if: steps.ai-review.outcome == 'failure'
  run: echo "AI review unavailable, manual review required"

Security Considerations

Secrets Management

hljs yaml
# Use GitHub secrets
env:
  ANTHROPIC_API_KEY: ${{ secrets.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY }}

# Never log secrets
- name: Review
  run: |
    ccjk review --ci 2>&1 | grep -v "API"

Code Privacy

Configure what gets sent to AI:

hljs yaml
# .claude/ci-config.yaml
privacy:
  exclude:
    - "**/*.env*"
    - "**/secrets/**"
    - "**/credentials/**"

  redact:
    - pattern: "api[_-]?key"
      replacement: "[REDACTED]"
    - pattern: "password"
      replacement: "[REDACTED]"

Monitoring and Metrics

Track AI CI Performance

hljs yaml
- name: Record Metrics
  run: |
    echo "review_duration=${{ steps.review.outputs.duration }}" >> metrics.txt
    echo "issues_found=${{ steps.review.outputs.issues }}" >> metrics.txt
    echo "tokens_used=${{ steps.review.outputs.tokens }}" >> metrics.txt

- name: Send to Monitoring
  run: |
    curl -X POST ${{ secrets.METRICS_ENDPOINT }} \
      -d @metrics.txt
