CI/CD Integration

Compress documentation at build time so every downstream consumer benefits automatically.

GitHub Actions

Add a step to your workflow that compresses docs before they enter a vector store or knowledge base:

- name: Compress docs for vector store
  run: |
    cargo install --path crates/laconic-cli
    mkdir -p compressed_docs
    for f in docs/*.md; do
      laconic compress -f "$f" > "compressed_docs/$(basename "$f")"
    done

- name: Upload to vector store
  run: ./scripts/upload_to_pinecone.sh compressed_docs/

Pre-commit Hook

Compress docs automatically on every commit:

#!/bin/sh
# .git/hooks/pre-commit

for f in $(git diff --cached --name-only --diff-filter=ACM -- '*.md'); do
  laconic compress -f "$f" > "${f%.md}.compressed.md"
  git add "${f%.md}.compressed.md"
done

Audit Token Spend

Add a CI step that reports token savings across your doc corpus:

- name: Token audit
  run: |
    laconic estimate docs/**/*.md 2>&1 | tee token-audit.txt
    # Fail if any file shows negative savings (should never happen)
    if grep -q "saved -" token-audit.txt; then
      echo "ERROR: Token inflation detected"
      exit 1
    fi
