# Monorepo
## Rules
- Turborepo for task orchestration — `turbo.json` defines the pipeline
- Workspaces in `package.json`: `"workspaces": ["apps/*", "packages/*"]`
- Shared packages in `packages/` — UI components, configs, types
- Apps in `apps/` — web, api, mobile, etc.
- Internal packages use `"main": "./src/index.ts"` — no build step needed
- `turbo.json` pipeline: define `dependsOn`, `outputs`, `cache`
- Shared tsconfig: `packages/config-typescript/` extended by all packages
- Shared ESLint config: `packages/config-eslint/`
## Avoid
- Importing between apps directly — use shared packages
- Different versions of the same dependency across packages — use `pnpm` overrides
- Missing `dependsOn` in turbo pipeline — causes stale builds
- Building internal packages — use TypeScript path aliases or `main: ./src/index.ts`Install
Why Use the Monorepo Skill?
Without this skill, your AI guesses at monorepo patterns. It might hallucinate deprecated APIs, use outdated conventions, or miss best practices entirely. With it, your AI follows a proven ruleset — every suggestion aligns with current standards.
Drop this skill into your project and your AI instantly knows the rules. Better code suggestions, fewer errors, faster shipping.

"Create a monorepo with shared UI library, API client, and TypeScript config packages"
"Configure workspace dependencies with proper build ordering and incremental builds"
Monorepo skill — FAQ
It provides Turborepo patterns for shared packages, build caching, and pipeline configuration. Your AI sets up monorepos with proper dependency management and incremental builds.
Run `npx skills add YepAPI/skills --skill monorepo` in your project root. This copies the skill file into your repo where your AI coding tool can read it automatically.
If you have multiple packages that share code, yes. Turborepo handles build caching, task orchestration, and dependency management. For a single app, a monorepo adds unnecessary complexity.
