SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Monorepo builds become slow and wasteful when every task re-runs on every change, and teams struggle to configure Turborepo pipelines, caching, and CI integration correctly. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Pipeline Configuration: Ready-to-use turbo.json templates covering build, test, lint, typecheck, dev, and deploy tasks with proper dependsOn, inputs, outputs, and env declarations. - Remote Caching: Setup instructions for Vercel remote caching plus a self-hosted Express cache server implementation for teams that cannot use hosted services. - Filtering and CI Integration: Commands for building only affected packages with --filter, plus a GitHub Actions workflow wired with TURBO_TOKEN and TURBO_TEAM. - Use Case: A team migrating to a monorepo uses the templates to define task pipelines, enable remote caching in CI, and cut build times by only rebuilding packages changed since origin/main. ## Quick Start Ask the AI to generate a turbo.json pipeline configuration with build, test, and lint tasks plus remote caching for your monorepo.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure remote caching in Turborepo?

Run npx turbo login and npx turbo link to connect to Vercel's remote cache, then set TURBO_TOKEN and TURBO_TEAM environment variables in CI. For self-hosting, implement the V8 artifacts API endpoints and pass --api, --token, and --team flags to turbo commands.

How do I build only changed packages in Turborepo?

Use the --filter flag with a git range, such as turbo build --filter='...[origin/main]', to build only packages changed since the main branch. You can also filter by package name, directory, or combine and exclude filters.

Can I self-host a Turborepo remote cache server?

Yes, implement an HTTP server exposing GET, PUT, and HEAD endpoints under /v8/artifacts/:hash that store and serve cache artifacts per team. Point Turborepo at it with the --api flag and set remoteCache options in turbo.json.

Why is my Turborepo cache being invalidated unexpectedly?

Cache misses usually come from overly broad inputs, undeclared environment variables, or missing globalDependencies like .env files. Run turbo build --dry-run or --summarize to inspect hashes and define explicit inputs to stabilize cache keys.

Should dev servers be cached in Turborepo?

No, long-running tasks like dev servers should set cache to false and persistent to true in the pipeline configuration. Caching persistent tasks produces incorrect behavior since they never produce final outputs.
