SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires turbo, and includes scripts (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Monorepo teams often need a consistent, correct turbo.json to manage task definitions, caching, and CI behavior, but creating and tuning that file by hand is error-prone and repetitive. This Skill automates detection of package manager and workspaces, enforces env modes, and produces root and per-workspace configuration to avoid cache pollution and misconfigured CI.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automatic detection of package manager and workspace patterns to choose sensible defaults for outputs and tasks.
  • Create or update turbo.json at the repository root with global options like globalDependencies, globalEnv, envMode, concurrency, and cache settings.
  • Remote cache and CI integration: configure TURBO_TOKEN/TURBO_TEAM usage, optional remoteCache section, and workspace-level overrides using extends.
  • Use Case: Initialize turbo.json for a new monorepo, enable remote caching for CI, or add per-workspace overrides for apps with different build outputs.

Quick Start

Initialize a root turbo.json with strict environment mode and default concurrency using the provided init-config script.

Frequently Asked Questions about turbo-config

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize turbo.json for a new monorepo?▼

Turbo.json configuration uses globalDependencies, globalEnv, envMode, and concurrency to define task behavior and prevent cache pollution. Setting envMode to strict or loose controls how environment variables are tracked during caching, ensuring consistent CI behavior across workspace tasks.

Does turbo.json support remote cache configuration for CI pipelines?▼

Yes, turbo.json supports per-workspace overrides using the extends property, allowing specific apps to customize task definitions and build outputs. This lets you define global options at the root while granting individual workspaces targeted configuration flexibility.

Can I use turbo.json configuration with npm, pnpm, yarn, and bun workspaces?▼

Per-workspace overrides in turbo.json are needed when individual apps require different build outputs, environment variables, or task definitions. Using the extends property, you can apply targeted configurations to specific workspaces while maintaining shared global settings at the root.

Why are my Turborepo remote caches misconfigured or failing in CI?▼

Turborepo remote caches fail in CI when turbo.json lacks proper remoteCache settings or TURBO_TOKEN and TURBO_TEAM variables are missing. Configuring envMode strict prevents environment variable mismatches from causing cache pollution across pipeline runs.
