Automated summary
Expert in monorepo architecture, build systems, and dependency management at scale, mastering Nx, Turborepo, Bazel, and Lerna.
Strengths
- Selection and configuration of the right monorepo tool (Nx, Turborepo, Bazel, Lerna)
- CI pipeline optimization with change detection and build caching
- Clear workspace structuring and cross-project dependency management
- Automated affected dependency detection for incremental builds
Limitations
- Requires prior understanding of build tools and code structure
- May not suit very small teams or simple monolithic projects
- Initial setup can be complex and time-consuming
Use this skill when setting up a new monorepo, migrating from polyrepo, or optimizing slow CI pipelines with code sharing across applications.
Avoid this skill for tasks unrelated to monorepo architecture, such as specific feature development or using tools outside its scope.
Security analysis
SafeThe skill provides guidance on monorepo architecture without containing any executable code or commands that could compromise security.

How this analysis is madeExamples
I need to set up a new monorepo for a project with multiple React and Node.js applications. Help me choose the right tool (Nx, Turborepo, etc.) and configure the workspace structure, build caching, and dependency management.Our monorepo CI pipeline is too slow because it builds everything on every push. Can you help me set up affected/changed detection with Nx to only build and test the projects that actually changed?We currently have several separate repositories for our frontend, backend, and shared libraries. I want to consolidate into a single monorepo. Walk me through the migration plan, tool selection (Turborepo or Nx), and best practices for dependency management and code sharing.name: monorepo-architect description: "Expert in monorepo architecture, build systems, and dependency management at scale.

Monorepo Architect
Expert in monorepo architecture, build systems, and dependency management at scale. Masters Nx, Turborepo, Bazel, and Lerna for efficient multi-project development. Use PROACTIVELY for monorepo setup, build optimization, or scaling development workflows across teams.
Do not use this skill when
- The task is unrelated to monorepo architect
- You need a different domain or tool outside this scope
Instructions
- Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
- Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
- Provide actionable steps and verification.
- If detailed examples are required, open
resources/implementation-playbook.md.
Capabilities
- Monorepo tool selection (Nx, Turborepo, Bazel, Lerna)
- Workspace configuration and project structure
- Build caching (local and remote)
- Dependency graph management
- Affected/changed detection for CI optimization
- Code sharing and library extraction
- Task orchestration and parallelization
Use this skill when
- Setting up a new monorepo from scratch
- Migrating from polyrepo to monorepo
- Optimizing slow CI/CD pipelines
- Sharing code between multiple applications
- Managing dependencies across projects
- Implementing consistent tooling across teams
Workflow
- Assess codebase size and team structure
- Select appropriate monorepo tooling
- Design workspace and project structure
- Configure build caching strategy
- Set up affected/changed detection
- Implement task pipelines
- Configure remote caching for CI
- Document conventions and workflows
Best Practices
- Start with clear project boundaries
- Use consistent naming conventions
- Implement remote caching early
- Keep shared libraries focused
- Use tags for dependency constraints
- Automate dependency updates
- Document the dependency graph
- Set up code ownership rules
From the file to a first result
The download contains exactly the content displayed on this page. This copy may differ from the latest version in the source repository.
View the source and supporting filesThis download contains SKILL.md only. Any scripts, references, templates and dependencies are not included. Get the required files from the source, preserving their directory structure, before continuing.
1. Download the file
Download SKILL.mdFrom the root of a test project, save the file as .skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/SKILL.md, or use the command below. This folder is for inspecting the skill before installation.
Command for macOS/Linux or WSL: requires a POSIX shell and curl. On Windows without WSL, use the download button and create the folder manually.
mkdir -p '.skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0' && curl --fail --show-error --location 'https://skills-guides.com/api/skills/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/download' --output '.skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/SKILL.md.part' && mv '.skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/SKILL.md.part' '.skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/SKILL.md'2. Check prerequisites
Read SKILL.md before using it. If it references scripts or external services, inspect them and prepare the required access in your test environment.
No recognized prerequisites section in this file. This does not mean it is self-contained: libraries, tools and access requirements may be mentioned elsewhere in the content or source repository.
The platforms on this page are catalog indications. The paths below follow tool documentation; they do not prove this skill has been run in those tools. No minimum tool version is confirmed for this listing.
3. Load the skill
After inspection, copy the complete folder into your project using one of the commands below, then open a new tool session. The command stops if a folder with the same name already exists: compare the files before replacing it.

OpenSkills must already be installed. The local install/read procedure is checked with OpenSkills 1.5.0, which requires Node.js ≥ 20.6.0. Catalog slugs are not resolved automatically.
Official OpenSkills installationopenskills install './.skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0'openskills read 'monorepo-architect-mma3jse0'Reading should display the installed file content and its base directory. It does not run the skill or install its dependencies.
For an agent that reads AGENTS.md, then sync the index. This command changes AGENTS.md: review the diff before using it.
openskills syncManual method or another tool: attach SKILL.md to a conversation, or open it in an agent that can read files. Include any required supporting resources. No universal folder is recognized by every tool.
4. Try a first task
Use a short, synthetic input: an API endpoint, a small document or an interface brief. In a new conversation, attach the file or give the agent its path, then adapt this request:
Read .skill-downloads/monorepo-architect-mma3jse0/SKILL.md and apply its instructions to this example: [describe a test input]. Identify any missing files, dependencies or access. Produce the result requested by the skill without inventing data or running unreviewed scripts.Expected result: output matching the skill instructions, or a precise list of missing prerequisites. A read confirmation alone does not validate a first use. If an external resource is unavailable, that path remains untested.
React Hook Form Best Practices
Development
Master React Hook Form: avoid anti-patterns, manage subscriptions, and handle reset, dirty state, and controlled inputs correctly.
Emotion to Mantine Migration
Development
Migrate Emotion styled-components to Mantine components with style props and CSS modules. Use when converting .styled.tsx files or removing @emotion imports.
Scope Creep Detector
Development
Analyzes git diffs against a stated intent to detect scope creep, unrelated files, broad PRs, and oversized changes, then suggests keep, split, or justify actions.
