What it does

Monorepo is an agent skill from avibebuilder/claude-prime. MUST use for ANY query mentioning packages, monorepo, workspace, catalog, turbo, turborepo, or pnpm in a multi-package context. MUST use when sharing config (ESLint, tsconfig, prettier) across packages, fixing build order between packages, adding new packages, scoping CI installs/caching to changed packages, or debugging pnpm catalog version resolution. This skill OWNS all cross-package coordination problems — even when they look like build, CI, config, or dependency issues. If two or more packages interact in…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/caching.md`, `references/pnpm-workspace.md` and `references/structure.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Monorepo tooling and Linting and formatting. It works with pnpm, Turborepo, ESLint and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: You've heard Claude Code can do amazing things. Skills, hooks, agents, memory systems — but who has time to figure all that out? Claude Prime sets it up for you in one command. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

ANY query mentioning packages
Pnpm in a multi-package context
Sharing config (ESLint
Prettier) across packages

Example prompts

“/monorepo”

Requirements

A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

Split apps from packages — apps/ for deployables, packages/ for shared libraries.
Namespace packages — Prefix with @org/ to avoid npm conflicts.
Single lockfile — pnpm-lock.yaml at root only. Never commit multiple lockfiles.
No cross-package file access — Never use ../ to reach into other packages; import via dependencies.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 80bcfa4. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- pnpm
- turbo
- tsc
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
- turborepo.com
- pnpm.io
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Monorepo loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 158 tokens; SKILL.md has 477 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~158
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~6.8k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Monorepo

Project-specific patterns for pnpm workspaces + Turborepo.

Architecture Decisions

Workspace Organization

Split apps from packages — apps/ for deployables, packages/ for shared libraries.
Namespace packages — Prefix with @org/ to avoid npm conflicts.
Single lockfile — pnpm-lock.yaml at root only. Never commit multiple lockfiles.
No cross-package file access — Never use ../ to reach into other packages; import via dependencies.

Dependency Management

Use workspace:* protocol — Always for internal package dependencies.
Hoist common devDependencies — Shared tooling (TypeScript, ESLint) in root.
Peer dependencies for frameworks — React, Vue, etc. as peers to avoid version conflicts.
Consider Catalogs (pnpm 9.5+) — Centralize versions in pnpm-workspace.yaml for large repos.

Turborepo Tasks

Use ^ for build dependencies — "dependsOn": ["^build"] for topological order.
Always define outputs — Without outputs, nothing gets cached.
Mark dev servers as persistent — "persistent": true, "cache": false.
Be explicit about environment — List all build-affecting vars in env or globalEnv.

Gotchas

Missing outputs in turbo.json silently disables caching for that task. The task runs every time and you won't get an error — just slow builds. Always verify outputs are configured.
pnpm install does NOT respect --filter for installation — it always installs the entire workspace. Filtering only works for pnpm run and pnpm exec.
workspace:* resolves to the CURRENT version of the local package, not "latest from npm". If the package has "version": "0.0.0", published packages will have "dependency": "0.0.0" — set meaningful versions before publishing.
Turborepo's env field in turbo.json uses GLOB patterns, not exact matches. "env": ["API_*"] captures API_KEY, API_URL, etc. Forgetting this causes over-invalidation.
turbo run build --filter=app-a builds app-a AND all its workspace dependencies. If a dependency fails, app-a won't build. Check transitive deps.
Adding a package to packages/ requires running pnpm install before the workspace recognizes it. The new package also needs a valid package.json with name matching the workspace pattern.
TypeScript project references (references in tsconfig.json) must match the workspace dependency graph. Mismatches cause type errors that only appear during tsc --build, not in IDE.
turbo.json's globalDependencies invalidates ALL tasks when listed files change. Don't put frequently-changed files here — use task-level inputs instead.
Shared Tailwind configs need @source directives pointing to consuming packages' source directories, otherwise classes used in shared packages are purged.
pnpm deploy (for production) copies a single package and its dependencies to a target directory. It does NOT run build scripts — build first, then deploy.
Remote cache (Vercel or self-hosted) requires outputs to be correct. If outputs are wrong, cached artifacts will be incomplete and downstream tasks break silently.
persistent: true tasks prevent turbo run from exiting. Don't include persistent tasks in CI pipelines unless they have a timeout.

What does Monorepo need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Monorepo needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pnpm, turbo and tsc) and credentials named API_KEY. Our summary lists: A credential in API_KEY.

Does Monorepo access the network?

SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: turborepo.com and pnpm.io. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
