# Set Up Workflow: Set Up a Professional Claude Code Workflow with Automated CI/CD
## What This Is
This provides a complete blueprint for an automated AI software development system using Claude Code. It sets up a project structure where an AI assistant automatically reviews code, performs scheduled maintenance, and integrates with CI/CD pipelines to ensure higher quality and faster delivery.

## Before You Start
Scan my workspace and analyze:
- The project language, framework, and directory structure
- Existing AI provider config (check .env, .env.local, config files for API keys — OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, etc.)
Then ask me before proceeding:
1. Which AI provider/API should this use? (Use whatever I already have configured, or ask me to set one up — options include direct provider APIs or a unified service like OpenRouter)
2. Where in my project should this be integrated?
3. Are there any customizations I need (model preferences, naming conventions, constraints)?
## Source Access Note

## What to Implement
This is an **AI Workflow** — an end-to-end automation pattern or integration pipeline.
- Study the workflow architecture from the source and context below
- Identify which parts I can implement locally vs. parts that need external services
- For local parts: implement them using my existing stack and API keys
- For external parts: tell me exactly what services I need and help me configure the integration code
- Wire up any required API calls using keys from my .env files
## Additional Context
- Clone the 'Claude Code Project Configuration Showcase' repository from GitHub to serve as a template.
- Scan the user's current project and adapt the showcase's `.claude/` directory, including the `CLAUDE.md` project memory, skills, and agents, to match the user's specific technology stack and coding standards.
- Configure the MCP server integration (`.mcp.json`) and GitHub Actions workflows, using the user's existing API keys from their environment variables, to connect the agent to their codebase for automated pull request reviews and scheduled maintenance tasks.
## Guidelines
- Adapt everything to my existing project — do not assume a specific stack or directory layout
- Use whichever AI provider I already have configured; if I need a new one, tell me what to sign up for and I'll give you the key
- Check my .env files for existing API keys (OpenRouter, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI) before asking me to add one
- Review any fetched code for safety before installing or executing it
- After setup, run a quick verification and show me a summary of exactly what was installed, where, and how to use it
