CI/CD Pipeline Builder

CI/CD Pipeline Builder

Generate production-grade CI/CD pipelines from detected project stack signals. Analyzes lockfiles, manifests, and scripts to produce optimized pipelines with proper caching, matrix strategies, security scanning, and deployment gates. Supports GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, and Buildkite with deployment strategies including blue-green, canary, and rolling updates.

Keywords: CI/CD, GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, pipeline, deployment, caching, matrix builds, blue-green deployment, canary deployment, security scanning, SAST, container builds, environment gates

Core Capabilities

• Stack detection — infer language/runtime, package manager, build/test/lint commands, framework, and infrastructure (Docker, K8s, Terraform) from lockfiles and manifests.
• Pipeline generation — lint/test/build/deploy stages with correct dependencies, caching, matrix builds, artifact passing, and conditional execution.
• Deployment strategies — blue-green, canary, rolling updates, recreate, feature-flag integration, and manual approval gates.
• Security integration — SAST (CodeQL, Semgrep, Snyk), dependency and container scanning (Trivy, Grype), secret scanning, and SBOM generation.
• Optimization — caching matched to package manager, path filtering, concurrency control, and fail-fast matrices.

When to Use

• Bootstrapping CI/CD for a new repository
• Migrating between CI platforms
• Optimizing slow or flaky pipelines
• Adding deployment stages to an existing CI-only pipeline
• Implementing security scanning in the pipeline
• Setting up multi-environment deployment (staging, production)

Clarify First

Before generating the pipeline, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

• Target platform — GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, CircleCI, or Buildkite (sets the YAML dialect pipeline_generator.py emits via --platform)
• Project stack — language/runtime, package manager, and whether Docker/K8s/Terraform are present (drives stack detection, caching, and which stages are generated)
• Deployment strategy & gates — blue-green, canary, rolling, or CI-only, plus any manual approval gates (determines the deploy stages and conditions)

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
