Turborepo

Overview

Build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Caches task outputs and runs tasks in parallel based on dependency graph. Always create package tasks (not root tasks), use turbo run in scripts, and let dependsOn manage execution order. Configuration uses turbo.json (or turbo.jsonc for comments).

When to use: Monorepo task orchestration, build caching, CI optimization, workspace dependency management, package boundary enforcement.

When NOT to use: Single-package projects, non-JavaScript monorepos, projects without build steps.
