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

Error Handling

Examples

Branch Protection Rules

# Recommended for teams using Windsurf Cascade
required_status_checks:
  - "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
