What CI/CD setup do I need for an AI-assisted codebase?

Tests, type checking, and a build on every pull request, plus a preview deployment. When an agent writes most of the code, the pipeline is the reviewer that never gets tired or agrees with you.

A curated selection in editorial order. Use the fit and evidence to judge it for your task. Something missing?

What to look for

  • 01Does it block the merge on failure, or only report? Advisory checks get ignored within a week.
  • 02Is it fast enough to run on every push? A ten-minute pipeline stops being run.
  • 03Can an agent read the failure output and fix it, or is the log unusable?

Common questions

What should run in CI for an AI-written codebase?
Type checking, tests, a production build, and a preview deploy. The build catches what type checking misses, and the preview catches what neither can see.
Should agents be allowed to push directly to main?
No. Branch, open a pull request, let the pipeline gate it. The value of the pipeline is that it applies to work nobody watched being written.
