monorepo-management
Build scalable monorepo workflows
Coordinating builds and dependencies across many packages is hard. This skill provides monorepo setups and practices for Turborepo, Nx, and pnpm to streamline builds and sharing.

Test it
Using "monorepo-management". Plan a pnpm monorepo for a web app, docs site, and shared UI package.
Expected outcome:
- Suggested folder layout with apps and packages
- Root scripts for build, test, and lint using Turborepo
- Shared config package for TypeScript and ESLint
- pnpm workspace entries for apps and packages
Security Audit
SafeThis skill contains purely educational documentation about monorepo tools. The SKILL.md file contains only instructional text, example commands, and configuration samples. No executable code, network calls, filesystem operations, or credential access exist. All static findings are FALSE POSITIVES caused by misidentifying bash code examples and JSON schema URLs as security-relevant patterns. The skill-report.json already correctly rated this skill as 'safe' in a prior audit.

What You Can Build
Unify apps and packages
Plan a shared UI and config structure for multiple web apps in one repository.
Speed up CI
Design caching and affected builds to reduce build and test time.
Standardize tooling
Define shared TypeScript and ESLint presets for all packages.
Try These Prompts
Create a starter plan for a pnpm workspace with apps and packages, plus a basic turbo.json pipeline.
Outline a migration plan to Nx with key steps, required config files, and risks to monitor.
Propose cache inputs and outputs for build and test tasks to reduce run time.
Draft a CI workflow for lint, test, build, and type check with pnpm and Turborepo.
Best Practices
- Centralize shared configs for TypeScript, ESLint, and Prettier
- Define cache inputs and outputs for each build task
- Keep the dependency graph acyclic and documented
Avoid
- Using dependencies not declared in package.json
- Creating circular dependencies between packages
- Caching build outputs without correct inputs
