The pipelines are just designed as serial and parallel execution of pods with no fancy features (i.e. loops or conditions) and the idea is to let other tools generate more complex pipelines using code.
Responsibility of triggering the pipelines is decoupled to standalone controllers such as github-screener[2] which enables triggering of pipelines used for CI/CD.
The project currently builds itself, but the docs are a bit outdated and there's quite a lot progress to be made.
