Project Organization

Overview

Pipelex automatically discovers .plx pipeline files anywhere in your project (excluding .venv, .git, node_modules, etc.).

Recommended: Keep pipelines with related code

your_project/
├── my_project/             # Your Python package
│   ├── finance/
│   │   ├── services.py
│   │   ├── invoices.plx           # Pipeline with finance code
│   │   └── invoices_struct.py     # Structure classes
│   └── legal/
│       ├── services.py
│       ├── contracts.plx          # Pipeline with legal code
│       └── contracts_struct.py
├── .pipelex/                      # Config at repo root
│   └── pipelex.toml
├── .env                           # API keys (git-ignored)
└── requirements.txt

Alternative: Centralize pipelines

your_project/
├── pipelines/
│   ├── invoices.plx
│   ├── contracts.plx
│   └── structures.py
└── .pipelex/
    └── pipelex.toml
