SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Monorepo Navigator helps engineering teams understand, manage, and optimize large monorepos by mapping workspaces and their interdependencies.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Cross-package impact analysis to determine which packages are affected by a change.
  • Workspace discovery and dependency graph visualization to plan migrations and releases.
  • Build optimization and migration guidance across Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces, and Lerna.

Quick Start

Run the Python analyzer on your monorepo root to generate a JSON report of workspaces and dependencies.

FAQPage Schema
How do I analyze cross-package impact in a monorepo to see which workspaces are affected by a change?

Cross-package impact analysis in a monorepo maps internal dependencies by parsing configuration files like turbo.json, nx.json, and pnpm-workspace.yaml. It computes a dependency graph from dependencies, devDependencies, and peerDependencies to identify affected workspaces.

What's the best way to map workspace layout and dependencies when migrating multiple repos into a single monorepo?

Mapping workspace layout for multi-repo to monorepo migrations involves detecting existing tooling and enumerating workspaces from package.json files. The analyzer generates a JSON report detailing the internal dependency graph to guide your migration and release planning.

Does the monorepo navigator work with pnpm workspaces, Nx, Turborepo, and Lerna configurations?

Yes, the monorepo navigator supports pnpm workspaces, Nx, Turborepo, and Lerna. It parses their specific configuration files, such as pnpm-workspace.yaml, nx.json, and turbo.json, to discover workspaces and compute the internal dependency graph.

How do I visualize the internal dependency graph of a large JavaScript or TypeScript monorepo?

Visualizing a large JavaScript or TypeScript monorepo dependency graph requires running the Python analyzer on your monorepo root. It enumerates workspaces and computes dependencies to output a structured JSON report for graph visualization and build optimization.

Can I use this to optimize builds across large monorepos with complex interdependencies?

Yes, you can optimize builds across large monorepos by using the computed dependency graph to understand interdependencies. This workspace discovery and dependency mapping helps identify bottlenecks and plan efficient build strategies across your packages.

What do I need to run the monorepo analyzer on my JavaScript and TypeScript workspace?

You need to run the Python analyzer on the root directory of your monorepo. It requires no external dependencies and parses your existing workspace configuration files to produce a JSON report of workspaces and dependencies.
