What it does
Monorepo Navigator is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Navigate, manage, and optimize monorepos. Covers Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces, and Lerna. Cross-package impact analysis, selective builds/tests on affected packages, remote caching, dependency graph visualization, and structured multi-repo to monorepo migrations. Use when setting up a new monorepo, optimizing CI for a large workspace, debugging cross-package dependency issues, or planning a multi-repo consolidation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/monorepo-patterns.md`, `references/monorepo-tooling-reference.md` and `scripts/monorepo_analyzer.py`).
It sits in Development, covering Monorepo tooling. It works with Turborepo and npm. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Setting up a new monorepo
- Optimizing CI for a large workspace
- Debugging cross-package dependency issues
- Planning a multi-repo consolidation
Example prompts
- “/monorepo-navigator”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in TURBO_TOKEN
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Root CLAUDE.md defines the map — document every package, its purpose, and dependency rules
- Per-package CLAUDE.md defines the rules — what's allowed, what's forbidden, testing commands
- Always scope commands with --filter — running everything on every change defeats the purpose
- Remote cache is not optional — without it, monorepo CI is slower than multi-repo CI
- Changesets over manual versioning — never hand-edit package.json versions in a monorepo
- Shared configs in root, extended in packages — tsconfig.base.json, .eslintrc.base.js, jest.base.config.js
- Impact analysis before merging shared package changes — run affected check, communicate blast radius
- Keep packages/types as pure TypeScript — no runtime code, no dependencies, fast to build and type-check
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3turbopnpmgit
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pnpm and git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
TURBO_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Monorepo Navigator loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 513 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- description
- Navigate, manage, and optimize monorepos. Covers Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces, and Lerna. Cross-package impact analysis, selective builds/tests on affected packages, remote caching, dependency graph visualization, and structured multi-repo to monorepo migrations. Use when setting up a new monorepo, optimizing CI for a large workspace, debugging cross-package dependency issues, or planning a multi-repo consolidation.
Monorepo Navigator
Tier: POWERFUL
Category: Engineering
Domain: Monorepo Architecture / Build Systems
Overview
Navigate, manage, and optimize monorepos. Covers Turborepo, Nx, pnpm workspaces, and Lerna. Enables cross-package impact analysis, selective builds/tests on affected packages only, remote caching, dependency graph visualization, and structured migrations from multi-repo to monorepo. Includes Claude Code configuration for workspace-aware development.
Core Capabilities
- Cross-package impact analysis — determine which apps break when a shared package changes
- Selective commands — run tests/builds only for affected packages (not everything)
- Dependency graph — visualize package relationships as Mermaid diagrams
- Build optimization — remote caching, incremental builds, parallel execution
- Migration — step-by-step multi-repo → monorepo with zero history loss
- Publishing — changesets for versioning, pre-release channels, npm publish workflows
- Claude Code config — workspace-aware CLAUDE.md with per-package instructions
When to Use
Use when:
- Multiple packages/apps share code (UI components, utils, types, API clients)
- Build times are slow because everything rebuilds when anything changes
- Migrating from multiple repos to a single repo
- Need to publish packages to npm with coordinated versioning
- Teams work across multiple packages and need unified tooling
Skip when:
- Single-app project with no shared packages
- Team/project boundaries are completely isolated (polyrepo is fine)
- Shared code is minimal and copy-paste overhead is acceptable
Tool Selection
| Tool | Best For | Key Feature |
|---|---|---|
| Turborepo | JS/TS monorepos, simple pipeline config | Best-in-class remote caching, minimal config |
| Nx | Large enterprises, plugin ecosystem | Project graph, code generation, affected commands |
| pnpm workspaces | Workspace protocol, disk efficiency | workspace:* for local package refs |
| Lerna | npm publishing, versioning | Batch publishing, conventional commits |
| Changesets | Modern versioning (preferred over Lerna) | Changelog generation, pre-release channels |
Most modern setups: pnpm workspaces + Turborepo + Changesets

Common Pitfalls
| Pitfall | Fix |
|---|---|
Running turbo run build without --filter on every PR | Always use --filter=...[origin/main] in CI |
workspace:* refs cause publish failures | Use pnpm changeset publish — it replaces workspace:* with real versions automatically |
| All packages rebuild when unrelated file changes | Tune inputs in turbo.json to exclude docs, config files from cache keys |
| Shared tsconfig causes one package to break all type-checks | Use extends properly — each package extends root but overrides rootDir / outDir |
| git history lost during migration | Use git filter-repo --to-subdirectory-filter before merging — never move files manually |
| Remote cache not working in CI | Check TURBO_TOKEN and TURBO_TEAM env vars; verify with turbo run build --summarize |
| CLAUDE.md too generic — Claude modifies wrong package | Add explicit "When working on X, only touch files in apps/X" rules per package CLAUDE.md |
Best Practices
- Root CLAUDE.md defines the map — document every package, its purpose, and dependency rules
- Per-package CLAUDE.md defines the rules — what's allowed, what's forbidden, testing commands
- Always scope commands with --filter — running everything on every change defeats the purpose
- Remote cache is not optional — without it, monorepo CI is slower than multi-repo CI
- Changesets over manual versioning — never hand-edit package.json versions in a monorepo
- Shared configs in root, extended in packages — tsconfig.base.json, .eslintrc.base.js, jest.base.config.js
- Impact analysis before merging shared package changes — run affected check, communicate blast radius
- Keep packages/types as pure TypeScript — no runtime code, no dependencies, fast to build and type-check
