What it does

Provides a focused set of rules and decision trees for configuring and troubleshooting Turborepo in JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. The skill explains correct task placement (package vs root), how to declare task inputs/outputs for caching, patterns for affected/filtered runs, and CI integration patterns (including remote caching). It includes anti-patterns to avoid and examples for common pipelines.

When to use it

Invoke this skill when configuring turbo.json, creating package scripts, debugging cache misses, writing CI workflows that call turbo, or deciding how to run only affected packages. It’s useful during monorepo setup, CI creation, or when diagnosing slow builds or cache problems.
