SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Turborepo focuses on architectural decisions to prevent monorepo sprawl, improve package boundaries, and speed builds via caching and task graph optimization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Architecture decision framework for monorepo vs polyrepo, and guidance on splitting packages.
  • Anti-patterns and their fixes (circular dependencies, granular packages, cache misconfig).
  • Debugging and operational playbooks (visualizing task graphs, cache hot/cold paths, and tenancy patterns).

Quick Start

  • Use the turborepo skill to evaluate a repo's structure and generate a recommended monorepo vs polyrepo plan, including package boundaries and caching strategy.

FAQPage Schema
How do I decide between a monorepo and polyrepo for my JavaScript workspace?

Monorepo architecture decisions depend on your need for scalable task graphs, caching efficiency, and clear package boundaries across teams. Evaluate your multi-app JavaScript project structure to generate a recommended monorepo vs polyrepo plan that prevents package sprawl.

What is the best way to fix circular dependencies and cache misconfigurations in a monorepo?

Fixing circular dependencies and cache misconfigurations requires identifying common monorepo anti-patterns. Apply operational playbooks to visualize task graphs, diagnose cache hot and cold paths, and correct granular package splits to restore build caching efficiency.

How do I optimize build cache and task graph efficiency for multi-app TypeScript projects?

Build cache and task graph optimization require structuring workspace boundaries to maximize caching efficiency. Architect multi-app TypeScript projects by mapping dependency graphs and configuring task execution to speed builds across tenant environments.

When should I split packages in a Turborepo workspace?

Split packages in a Turborepo workspace when boundaries become ambiguous and builds slow down. Use decision frameworks to determine when to separate packages based on dependency graphs, caching efficiency, and team ownership across the workspace.

How do I visualize task graphs to diagnose Turborepo build issues?

Visualize task graphs to diagnose Turborepo build issues by tracing dependency relationships and execution paths. Debugging playbooks help identify cache hot and cold paths, resolve misconfigurations, and optimize the overall monorepo architecture.
