In this paper, we report on the construction of a new and independent pipeline for analyzing the public data from the first observing run of Advanced LIGO for mergers of compact binary systems. The pipeline incorporates different techniques and makes independent implementation choices in all its stages including the search design, the method to construct template banks, the automatic routines to detect bad data segments (glitches) and to insulate good data from them, the procedure to account for the nonstationary nature of the detector noise, the signal-quality vetoes at the single-detector level and the methods to combine results from multiple detectors. Our pipeline enabled us to identify a new binary black hole merger GW151216 in the public LIGO data. This paper serves as a bird's eye view of the pipeline's important stages. Full details and derivations underlying the various stages will appear in accompanying papers.
