Test it

Using "turborepo-caching". Help me tune turbo.json for a Next.js app and a shared UI package.

Expected outcome:

  • Define build outputs for .next and dist folders to cache compiled assets
  • Set inputs to src, tests, and config files only to minimize cache keys
  • Keep dev task as persistent and uncached since it runs continuously
  • Add dependsOn to ensure UI package builds before the Next.js app

Using "turborepo-caching". Set up remote caching for our team with Vercel.

Expected outcome:

  • Run npx turbo login to authenticate with Vercel
  • Run npx turbo link to connect your project
  • Add TURBO_TOKEN and TURBO_TEAM environment variables to CI
  • Use turbo build --remote-only in CI for full remote caching

Using "turborepo-caching". Debug why my build cache keeps invalidating.

Expected outcome:

  • Run turbo build --summarize to see cache hit/miss status
  • Use --verbosity=2 to inspect hash calculations
  • Check that inputs exclude unnecessary files like markdown
  • Verify globalDependencies only include truly shared files

Security Audit

Safe
v4 • 1/17/2026

Pure documentation skill containing only Turborepo configuration templates and best practices. All 55 static findings are FALSE POSITIVES - the scanner incorrectly flagged markdown code block delimiters as shell backticks, cache hash references as cryptographic algorithms, and standard Turborepo config patterns as credential access. No executable code, scripts, or malicious patterns exist in this skill.

What You Can Build

Accelerate CI builds

Tune pipelines and filters to reduce CI time while maintaining correct dependency chains.

Improve monorepo builds

Set cache outputs and inputs for web applications to minimize unnecessary rebuilds.

Enable remote caching

Configure Vercel or self-hosted cache for shared build artifacts across teams.

Try These Prompts

Start caching 
Create a basic turbo.json with build, test, lint, and dev tasks for apps and packages in my monorepo.
CI optimization 
Suggest CI pipeline steps and package filters to build only affected packages since the main branch.
Remote cache 
Explain how to enable Vercel remote caching and list the required environment variables for CI.
Advanced inputs 
Refine the inputs and outputs configuration for a Next.js app to reduce cache invalidation.

Best Practices

  • Define explicit inputs and outputs for accurate cache key generation and fewer misses
  • Enable remote caching for consistency between CI and local development environments
  • Use package filters to limit builds to only affected packages in CI pipelines

Avoid

  • Caching dev servers or long-running persistent tasks that never terminate
  • Including secrets or sensitive values in cached environment variable configurations
  • Over-filtering packages and missing critical dependency builds in your pipeline

Frequently Asked Questions

Which environments are supported?
It works with Turborepo projects on local machines and all major CI runners like GitHub Actions.
Are there limits on project size?
There are no hard limits, but very large repositories need careful inputs and outputs configuration.
Can it integrate with Vercel remote cache?
Yes, it provides guidance for login, linking projects, and setting required CI variables for Vercel.
Does it access or store my data?
No, it is a documentation skill that does not read files, credentials, or send data anywhere.
What if caching does not work as expected?
Use the debug and summarize flags to inspect cache hits, misses, and hash calculations.
How does it compare to other monorepo tools?
This skill focuses specifically on Turborepo caching patterns, not comparisons with Nx or Lerna.
