ForgeAI Pipeline Intelligence

AI-powered code reviews, vulnerability analysis, architecture drift detection, test gap analysis, and release readiness scoring — directly in your Jenkins pipeline. Supports OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Ollama (local), LM Studio, vLLM, and any OpenAI-compatible endpoint.

Why ForgeAI?

Every CI/CD pipeline runs linters and tests — but they miss the architectural, strategic, and contextual issues that only experienced engineers catch. ForgeAI bridges that gap by embedding AI-powered intelligence directly into your Jenkins pipeline.

  • 8 specialized analyzers, each with expert-level system prompts tuned for its domain

  • Architecture-aware analysis that understands hexagonal, layered, CQRS, and microservice patterns

  • Composite scoring that weighs security 3× and architecture 2× — because not all findings are equal

  • Release readiness verdicts (SHIP_IT / CAUTION / HOLD / BLOCK) that synthesize all analyses

  • Zero-cloud mode via Ollama for air-gapped and regulated environments

  • A self-contained HTML report archived with every build

Analyzers

forgeAI — Full Analysis Step

Runs multiple analyzers in sequence and produces a composite report.

stage('ForgeAI Intelligence') {
    steps {
        script {
            def report = forgeAI(
                analyzers: ['code-review', 'vulnerability', 'architecture-drift',
                            'test-gaps', 'dependency-risk', 'release-readiness'],
                sourceGlob: 'src/**/*.java',
                contextInfo: 'Spring Boot microservice, hexagonal architecture',
                failOnCritical: true,
                criticalThreshold: 4
            )
            echo "Composite Score: ${report.compositeScore}/10"
        }
    }
    post {
        always {
            archiveArtifacts artifacts: 'forgeai-reports/**', allowEmptyArchive: true
            publishHTML(target: [
                reportDir: 'forgeai-reports',
                reportFiles: 'forgeai-report.html',
                reportName: 'ForgeAI Report'
            ])
        }
    }
}

Parameters

Parameter Type Default Description

Minimum composite score (1–10)

Returns a Map with: compositeScore, totalFindings, criticalCount, analyzerCount, and per-analyzer scores (e.g., code-reviewScore, vulnerabilityScore).

forgeAIScan — Single Analyzer Step

Runs one analyzer against provided source code.

Air-Gapped / Local LLM Setup

ForgeAI supports fully offline operation — no data ever leaves your network.

Ollama

# Install Ollama
curl -fsSL https://ollama.ai/install.sh | sh

# Pull a code-focused model
ollama pull deepseek-coder:6.7b   # Fast, good for most use cases (~4 GB)
ollama pull codellama:13b         # Meta's code model

# Verify it is running
curl http://localhost:11434/api/tags

Jenkins global config:

Provider:  Ollama (Local)
Endpoint:  http://localhost:11434
Model ID:  deepseek-coder:6.7b
API Key:   (leave blank)

LM Studio

  1. Download from lmstudio.ai

  2. Load any GGUF model (e.g., deepseek-coder-v2)

  3. Start the local server (default: http://localhost:1234)

  4. In Jenkins, select OpenAI / OpenAI-Compatible, set endpoint to http://localhost:1234/, and leave API Key blank

HTML Report

Every build generates a self-contained HTML report with:

  • Composite score and release verdict (SHIP_IT / CAUTION / HOLD / BLOCK)

  • Per-analyzer breakdown with individual scores

  • Detailed findings with severity, file location, and suggested fixes

  • Dark theme optimised for readability

The report is written to forgeai-reports/forgeai-report.html in the workspace. Use the HTML Publisher plugin or archiveArtifacts to surface it on the build page.

Requirements

Requirement Minimum
