name: turbo description: Turborepo monorepo build system with task pipelines, caching, and package management. Triggers on turbo, turbo.json, monorepo. triggers: ["turbo", "turbo\.json", "monorepo", "workspace"]

<mcp_first> CRITICAL: Always fetch Turborepo documentation for current configuration.

<quick_start> turbo.json:

{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": []
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    }
  }
}

Key concepts:

• ^build - Run build in dependencies first
• outputs - Files to cache
• inputs - Files that affect cache key
• cache: false - Disable caching for dev tasks
• persistent: true - Long-running tasks </quick_start>

<task_patterns> Build pipeline:

{
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**"],
      "inputs": ["src/**", "package.json", "tsconfig.json"]
    }
  }
}

Test after build:

{
  "tasks": {
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"]
    }
  }
}

Parallel independent tasks:

{
  "tasks": {
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "typecheck": {
      "outputs": []
    }
  }
}

</task_patterns>

Best practices:

• Keep inputs specific to avoid cache misses
• Use workspace filters for targeted builds
• Enable remote caching for CI

<success_criteria>

• Context7 docs fetched for current config
• Tasks have proper dependsOn
• outputs defined for cacheable tasks
• Dev tasks have cache: false
• Pipeline is efficient (parallel where possible) </success_criteria>
