Setup Checklist

What this means

The setup checklist tells you whether an organization is ready to dispatch pipelines.

Bilbis uses the same readiness checks on the dashboard, in the welcome flow, and on the New Pipeline form. If any required item is missing, pipeline creation can be blocked because Bilbis would not have enough access or configuration to complete the work.

Checklist items

Checklist item	What it means	Why it matters
Add an LLM provider	Add an Anthropic or OpenAI credential.	The agents need an AI provider to plan and write code.
Connect a Git provider	Add a GitLab, GitHub, or GitHub App credential.	Bilbis needs repo access to clone, push, and open MRs/PRs.
Create a product	Create at least one product.	Products group repositories and shared pipeline settings.
Add a repository	Add at least one repo under a product.	Pipelines need a target codebase.

The checklist is considered ready only when all four items are complete.

Where you see it

You may see the checklist in three places:

Place	What it does
Welcome flow	Guides a new organization through setup one step at a time.
Dashboard	Shows setup readiness and points admins to the missing step.
New Pipeline form	Blocks pipeline creation until the required setup exists.

Before you start

You usually need owner or admin access to complete checklist items because they change organization-wide credentials and configuration.

Developers or viewers may see that setup is incomplete, but they may not have permission to fix every missing item.

Steps

Add an LLM provider in Settings -> Integrations.
Add a Git provider in Settings -> Integrations.
Create a product from Products.
Add a repository inside that product.
Return to Pipelines -> New pipeline.

How Bilbis decides each item is done

Item	Done when
LLM provider	The organization has an Anthropic or OpenAI credential.
Git provider	The organization has a GitLab, GitHub, or GitHub App credential.
Product	The organization has at least one product.
Repository	The organization has at least one repository.

Problems and fixes

Problem	What to check
Checklist still says LLM provider is missing	Confirm the credential provider is Anthropic or OpenAI.
Checklist still says Git provider is missing	Confirm the credential provider is GitLab, GitHub, or GitHub App.
Product is complete but repo is still missing	Open the product and add a repository. A product alone is not enough.
User cannot complete a checklist item	Check their role. Owner or admin access is usually required.
New Pipeline form stays blocked after setup	Refresh the page and confirm the saved credential, product, and repo are visible in their pages.
