# Manage Scalable Monorepos

Monorepos become difficult when dependencies, builds, and releases lack consistent structure. This skill provides practical patterns for workspaces, caching, CI, and publishing.

## Install

```bash
npx skillstore add sickn33/monorepo-management

## Capabilities

- Compares pnpm workspaces, Turborepo, Nx, and Lerna for common monorepo needs.
- Provides workspace structures and configuration patterns for applications and shared packages.
- Explains filtered dependency installation and task execution with pnpm.
- Shows shared TypeScript, ESLint, UI, utility, and type package patterns.
- Outlines caching, affected builds, parallel tasks, and GitHub Actions workflows.
- Covers package versioning and publishing with Changesets.

## Use Cases

- Design a New Workspace: Choose a workspace layout, package boundaries, shared configuration, and build orchestration for a new product.
- Migrate Existing Repositories: Plan an incremental migration that preserves releases while consolidating applications and shared libraries.
- Improve Build and Release Pipelines: Configure caching, affected tasks, CI checks, versioning, and package publishing for faster delivery.

## Prompt Templates

### Create a Basic Monorepo Plan

```
Plan a monorepo for [applications] and [shared packages]. Recommend a workspace tool, directory structure, root scripts, and validation steps.
```

### Review Workspace Configuration

```
Review my workspace structure and configuration. Identify dependency, caching, and script issues. Prioritize changes and include verification commands.
```

### Plan a Repository Migration

```
Design an incremental migration from [repositories] into one monorepo. Preserve independent deployments, define package boundaries, and include rollback checkpoints.
```

### Optimize CI and Releases

```
Design an affected-only CI and release strategy for [toolchain]. Include cache inputs, dependency ordering, parallelism, Changesets, secret handling, and failure recovery.
```

## Limitations

- The examples use specific tool versions that may require updates.
- The skill does not inspect repositories or execute commands automatically.
- Every configuration requires validation against the target repository and deployment environment.
- Coverage focuses on JavaScript and TypeScript tools, not polyglot build systems.

## Best Practices

- Keep package dependencies explicit and the dependency graph acyclic.
- Centralize shared tooling while allowing documented application-specific overrides.
- Validate cache inputs, build outputs, affected logic, and release permissions in CI.

## Anti Patterns

- Do not share unstable application code only to remove small duplication.
- Do not rely on hoisted phantom dependencies that are absent from package manifests.
- Do not enable remote caching or publishing before validating credentials and access boundaries.

## Security Audit

- Audited at: 2026-08-04T14:57:34.878\+00:00
- Summary: All 13 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, template literals, standard configuration paths, or documented CI secret references. The reviewed files provide instructional content and contain no prompt injection, credential disclosure, exfiltration intent, or executable payload.
