**ciforge** is a zero-dependency CLI and GitHub Action that replaces 20 CI services with one robust tool. Run your complete CI pipeline 100% locally or natively within your actions, faster and with zero external dependencies.

**Code Quality**: Intelligent linting and AST-based complexity analysis (cyclomatic complexity, long functions).** Test Coverage Analysis**: Deep inspection of test coverage gaps.** Secret Detection**: Catch hardcoded credentials before they reach your repository.** Config Validation**: Ensure your CI/CD and infrastructure configuration files are sound.** PR Metrics & Velocity Tracking**: Analyze pull request size, churn, and time span metrics.** AI Reviewer**: Integrates with OpenAI to automatically find logic flaws and missing edge cases.** Image Optimization**: Detects large unoptimized assets (.png, .jpg, .jpeg) over 500KB.** Localization Sync**: Finds missing translation keys by comparing localization files against a base en.json.
