SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the problem of shipping changes with no automated safety net by setting up continuous integration for projects that lack it.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generates GitHub Actions CI: Creates workflows that run typechecking and tests on pull requests, adapting to the detected test framework and package manager.
  • Adds optional quality gates: Extends CI with linting and (optionally) Playwright end-to-end tests, supporting different team risk tolerances.
  • Prepares safe deployment behavior: Accounts for Vercel’s GitHub auto-deploy (no deploy job needed) and supports deploy hooks for non-Vercel targets like Render or Railway.

Quick Start

Add continuous integration to your project by asking the AI to set up GitHub Actions for typechecking and tests on PRs.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add GitHub Actions CI to run unit tests and typechecking on pull requests?

Adding GitHub Actions CI generates workflows for typechecking and unit tests on PRs, adapting to your detected test framework and package manager to keep changes green.

Can I include linting and Playwright e2e tests in my continuous integration workflow?

Yes, continuous integration can be extended with optional quality gates including linting and Playwright end-to-end tests, accommodating different team risk tolerances for PR validation.

Does GitHub CI work with Vercel deploy, or do I need a separate deploy job?

Vercel's GitHub auto-deploy requires no separate deploy job, while GitHub CI supports deploy hooks for non-Vercel targets like Render or Railway.

How do I handle required GitHub secrets when setting up continuous integration for deployment?

Setting up continuous integration includes safe handling of required GitHub secrets, ensuring secure deployment wiring when automating PR validation for platforms like Render or Railway.

What is the best way to automate PR validation for a project with no continuous integration?

Automating PR validation is best achieved by generating GitHub Actions workflows that detect your stack configuration and create missing jobs for typechecking, tests, and optional linting.
