Key capabilities

  • Validate .windsurfrules file size and existence
  • Enforce AI code quality gates for pull requests
  • Synchronize Windsurf configuration files across repositories
  • Detect hardcoded secrets in AI-generated code changes
  • Verify YAML frontmatter in workspace rules
  • Check for required test coverage on new source files

How it works

The integration uses GitHub Actions workflows to parse configuration files, scan git diffs for patterns, and execute API calls to synchronize settings across multiple repositories. It enforces rules through shell scripts that validate file content, character limits, and commit message conventions.

Inputs & outputs

You give it
Windsurf configuration files and pull request code changes
You get back
GitHub Actions status checks and automated repository configuration updates

When to use windsurf-ci-integration

  • Validate Windsurf configuration files on every pull request
  • Enforce team-wide AI coding policy in CI
  • Automate distribution of Windsurf settings
  • Check configuration file character limits

About this skill

Windsurf CI Integration

Overview

Integrate Windsurf configuration validation and AI code quality gates into CI/CD pipelines. Covers validating .windsurfrules, enforcing team policies for AI-generated code, and automating Windsurf config distribution.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub repository with Actions enabled
  • Windsurf configuration files in repository
  • Team agreement on AI code review policy

Instructions

Step 1: Validate Windsurf Config in CI

# .github/workflows/windsurf-config.yml
name: Windsurf Config Validation

on:
  pull_request:
    paths:
      - '.windsurfrules'
      - '.codeiumignore'
      - '.windsurf/**'

jobs:
  validate:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4

      - name: Check .windsurfrules exists and is valid
        run: |
          if [ ! -f .windsurfrules ]; then
            echo "::error::.windsurfrules is missing"
            exit 1
          fi
          CHARS=$(wc -c < .windsurfrules)
          if [ "$CHARS" -gt 6000 ]; then
            echo "::error::.windsurfrules exceeds 6000 char limit ($CHARS chars)"
            exit 1
          fi
          echo ".windsurfrules: $CHARS chars (limit: 6000)"

      - name: Check .codeiumignore covers secrets
        run: |
          REQUIRED_PATTERNS=(".env" "*.pem" "*.key" "credentials")
          MISSING=()
          for pattern in "${REQUIRED_PATTERNS[@]}"; do
            if ! grep -q "$pattern" .codeiumignore 2>/dev/null; then
              MISSING+=("$pattern")
            fi
          done
          if [ ${#MISSING[@]} -gt 0 ]; then
            echo "::warning::.codeiumignore missing patterns: ${MISSING[*]}"
          fi

      - name: Validate workspace rules frontmatter
        run: |
          for rule in .windsurf/rules/*.md; do
            [ -f "$rule" ] || continue
            if ! head -1 "$rule" | grep -q "^---"; then
              echo "::error::$rule missing YAML frontmatter"
              exit 1
            fi
            # Check for required trigger field
            if ! grep -q "^trigger:" "$rule"; then
              echo "::warning::$rule missing 'trigger:' in frontmatter"
            fi
          done

Step 2: AI Code Quality Gate

# .github/workflows/ai-code-review.yml
name: AI Code Quality Gate

on: pull_request

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

      - name: Detect large AI-generated changesets
        run: |
          FILES_CHANGED=$(git diff --name-only origin/main..HEAD | wc -l)
          if [ "$FILES_CHANGED" -gt 20 ]; then
            echo "::warning::Large changeset ($FILES_CHANGED files). If AI-generated, ensure thorough review."
          fi

      - name: Enforce tests for new source files
        run: |
          NEW_SRC=$(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A origin/main..HEAD | grep -cE '\.(ts|js|tsx|jsx)$' || true)
          NEW_TEST=$(git diff --name-only --diff-filter=A origin/main..HEAD | grep -cE '\.(test|spec)\.' || true)
          if [ "$NEW_SRC" -gt 3 ] && [ "$NEW_TEST" -eq 0 ]; then
            echo "::error::$NEW_SRC new source files added without tests"
            exit 1
          fi

      - name: Check for hardcoded secrets in new files
        run: |
          git diff origin/main..HEAD -- '*.ts' '*.js' '*.tsx' '*.jsx' | \
            grep -E '(sk_live|sk_test|AKIA|ghp_|glpat-|xoxb-)' && {
              echo "::error::Potential hardcoded secret detected"
              exit 1
            } || true

Step 3: Distribute Windsurf Config Templates

# .github/workflows/sync-windsurf-config.yml
name: Sync Windsurf Config

on:
  push:
    branches: [main]
    paths: ['windsurf-templates/**']

jobs:
  distribute:
    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
    strategy:
      matrix:
        repo: [frontend, backend, mobile]
    steps:
      - uses: actions/checkout@v4
      - name: Push config to child repos
        run: |
          gh api repos/${{ github.repository_owner }}/${{ matrix.repo }}/contents/.windsurfrules \
            --method PUT \
            --field message="chore: sync windsurf config from monorepo" \
            --field content="$(base64 -w0 windsurf-templates/.windsurfrules)"
        env:
          GH_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.REPO_SYNC_TOKEN }}

Step 4: Cascade-Generated Commit Convention

Enforce commit message conventions for AI-generated code:

# In branch protection or CI
- name: Check AI commit convention
  run: |
    COMMITS=$(git log origin/main..HEAD --pretty=format:"%s")
    # If PR has many file changes, warn about AI commit tagging
    FILES=$(git diff --stat origin/main..HEAD | tail -1 | awk '{print $1}')
    if [ "$FILES" -gt 10 ]; then
      if ! echo "$COMMITS" | grep -q "\[cascade\]"; then
        echo "::notice::Large changeset without [cascade] tag. If AI-generated, tag commits with [cascade] prefix."
      fi
    fi

Step 5: MCP Server Health Check (Optional)

- name: Validate MCP config
  run: |
    MCP_CONFIG="$HOME/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json"
    if [ -f "$MCP_CONFIG" ]; then
      python3 -c "import json; json.load(open('$MCP_CONFIG'))" || {
        echo "::error::MCP config is invalid JSON"
        exit 1
      }
    fi

  - "windsurf-config"
  - "ai-code-review"
  - "test"

Pre-Commit Hook for .windsurfrules

#!/bin/bash
# .git/hooks/pre-commit
CHARS=$(wc -c < .windsurfrules 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
if [ "$CHARS" -gt 6000 ]; then
  echo "ERROR: .windsurfrules exceeds 6000 char limit ($CHARS chars)"
  exit 1
fi

Next Steps

For deployment patterns, see windsurf-deploy-integration.

When not to use it

  • Projects without GitHub Actions enabled
  • Repositories lacking Windsurf configuration files

Prerequisites

GitHub repository with Actions enabledWindsurf configuration files in repositoryTeam agreement on AI code review policy

Limitations

  • .windsurfrules file size limit of 6000 characters
  • Requires REPO_SYNC_TOKEN with appropriate repository permissions for config synchronization

How it compares

Unlike manual configuration management, this approach automates the enforcement of AI coding policies and synchronization of settings as part of the standard CI/CD pipeline.
