Our review
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.

Examples
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

- 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
