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@v0.1.0
  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
