Create custom pipeline workflows

Custom Workflows

Create custom workflows by selecting which pipeline steps to run.

Pipeline steps

Simili Bot has 13 modular steps you can mix and match:

1. gatekeeper - Check if repo is enabled
2. command_handler - Process bot commands
3. vectordb_prep - Create collections
4. similarity_search - Find related issues
5. transfer_check - Rule-based routing
6. llm_router - AI routing
7. duplicate_detector - Identify duplicates
8. quality_checker - Assess quality
9. triage - Suggest labels
10. response_builder - Build comment
11. action_executor - Post to GitHub
12. indexer - Add to vector DB
13. pending_action_scheduler - Schedule actions

Preset workflows

Use built-in presets:

simili process --workflow issue-triage    # Full pipeline
simili process --workflow similarity-only # Search only
simili process --workflow index-only      # Indexing only

Or in GitHub Actions:

- uses: similigh/simili-bot@v0.2.0
  with:
    workflow: "issue-triage"

Workflow presets

issue-triage (Default)

Complete issue analysis pipeline:

• Find similar issues
• Check for duplicates
• Assess quality
• Suggest labels
• Route if configured

similarity-only

Semantic search only:

• Find related issues
• No AI analysis
• Fast and lightweight

index-only

Indexing to vector database:

• Add issues to Qdrant
• No analysis or comments

Custom workflows

Define custom workflows in configuration (future feature):

# Planned: Custom workflow support
workflows:
  fast-only:
    steps:
      - gatekeeper
      - vectordb_prep
      - similarity_search
      - response_builder
      - action_executor

  full-analysis:
    steps:
      - gatekeeper
      - command_handler
      - vectordb_prep
      - similarity_search
      - transfer_check
      - llm_router
      - duplicate_detector
      - quality_checker
      - triage
      - response_builder
      - action_executor
      - indexer

Tips for efficiency

Reduce API Calls:

• Use similarity-only when you don’t need AI analysis
• Disable unnecessary steps

Improve Speed:

• Skip steps you don’t need
• Use dry-run for testing

Optimize Costs:

• Every Gemini API call has cost
• Use lightweight workflows for high-volume repos
