SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Monorepos managed with Turborepo often suffer from misconfigured build pipelines, broken cache behavior, circular package dependencies, and unsafe publishing workflows that silently ship stale or broken code. This Skill audits the full monorepo setup and produces a structured findings report. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pipeline and task graph audit: Validates turbo.json dependsOn, inputs, outputs, env, and globalDependencies definitions, and inspects the build graph via turbo run build --dry=json for ordering and circular dependency issues. - Cache correctness analysis: Detects false cache hits from overly narrow inputs, cache misses from generated files, missing environment variables in cache keys, and remote cache misconfiguration. - Shared package and versioning review: Checks exports maps, composite: true tsconfig settings, peer dependency placement, and Changesets publish safety. - Use Case: A team's CI builds take 15 minutes and occasionally deploy staging configuration to production. Run this Skill to find that NEXT_PUBLIC_API_URL is missing from turbo.json env and that remote caching is not enabled, then get a severity-ranked remediation table. ## Quick Start Review this Turborepo monorepo's turbo.json pipeline, cache configuration, and workspace package structure, then report any build correctness or caching issues.

Frequently Asked Questions about monorepo-turborepo-review

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I fix Turborepo cache misses on every CI run?▼

Cache misses on every run usually mean `inputs` includes files that always change, such as generated code or .env files. Narrow `inputs` in turbo.json to only source and config files, and verify environment variables affecting the build are listed in `env` or `globalEnv`.

Why does my Turborepo build use stale dependency output?▼

Stale output occurs when a task is missing `dependsOn: ["^build"]`, so apps build before their upstream shared packages finish. Add the dependency declaration and confirm every internal package is listed in the consuming app's package.json dependencies.

Turborepo vs Nx vs Bazel for monorepo builds?▼

Turborepo suits most JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos with simple pipeline configuration. Nx adds module boundary enforcement and generators, while Bazel targets large-scale multi-language builds with remote execution. The Skill includes dedicated references for Nx and Bazel patterns.

Does Turborepo remote caching work with self-hosted servers?▼

Yes, Turborepo supports self-hosted remote caches implementing the Vercel cache API, configured via the `--api`, `--token`, and `--team` flags. For security-sensitive builds, enable artifact signing to prevent cache poisoning.

How do I prevent publishing private packages with Changesets?▼

Ensure every internal package sets `private: true` in its package.json and verify the publish pipeline excludes private packages. Run `changeset publish` only in CI on a release branch after `changeset version` has committed the version bumps.

When should I not use a Turborepo review procedure?▼

Skip it for single-package repositories with no workspace or build graph concerns. For Nx-based monorepos, follow the Nx workspace patterns reference instead, since the Turborepo pipeline procedure does not apply.
