SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the guesswork from setting up and operating a production-ready JavaScript monorepo, especially when you need multiple apps, reusable packages, and a reliable release process.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Workspace scaffolding: Creates a clean root workspace structure with npm workspaces, TypeScript, and sensible dependency boundaries.
  • Release automation: Supports conventional commits, commitlint, Husky hooks, standard-version changelogs, and per-package version tags.
  • Monorepo operations: Covers local package linking, workspace-specific installs, multi-package publishing, and GitHub Actions CI/CD.
  • Use case: A team can use this Skill to launch a new monorepo with a Next.js web app, an Express API, and one or more publishable packages that can be built, tested, and released independently.

Quick Start

Ask for a complete monorepo setup plan for npm workspaces with TypeScript, conventional commits, release automation, and GitHub Actions for a web app, API, and publishable package.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an npm workspaces monorepo with TypeScript and independent package releases?

To set up an npm workspaces monorepo with TypeScript, you need a root workspace configuration, package-level release metadata, and per-package tag routing. This structure orchestrates independent package releases and publishes using standard-version.

How do I configure standard-version and GitHub Actions for per-package releases in a monorepo?

Configuring standard-version and GitHub Actions for per-package releases requires per-package tag routing and package-level release metadata. This CI automation setup enables independent versioning and npm publish workflows for each package in the workspace.

Can I use conventional commits and Husky to automate monorepo changelogs?

Yes, you can use conventional commits and Husky to automate monorepo changelogs. By applying commitlint and standard-version, the workflow generates automated changelogs and manages per-package version tags triggered by commit messages.

What's the best way to manage local dependencies and workspace-specific installs in a JavaScript monorepo?

The best way to manage local dependencies in a JavaScript monorepo is using npm workspaces. This approach handles local package linking and workspace-specific installs, establishing sensible dependency boundaries between multiple apps and reusable packages.

Does this monorepo setup support scaffolding multiple apps like a Next.js web app and an Express API?

Yes, this monorepo setup supports scaffolding multiple apps like a Next.js web app and an Express API. The workspace scaffolding creates a clean root structure that initializes apps and publishable packages with sensible dependency boundaries.

Why do I need root workspace configuration and package-level release metadata for monorepo operations?

Root workspace configuration and package-level release metadata are required for monorepo operations to wire local dependencies and orchestrate independent package releases. This setup enables proper per-package tag routing for standard-version and npm publish.
