Example prompts to use with this skill

Prompt

Set up a Turborepo monorepo with remote caching

Output
I'll help you set up Turborepo with remote caching:
// turbo.json
{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "globalDependencies": ["**/.env.*local"],
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"]
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    }
  },
  "remoteCache": {
    "signature": true
  }
}
Enable remote caching:
npx turbo login
npx turbo link
The configuration sets up build pipelines with proper dependency ordering and enables remote caching for faster CI/CD builds.
Prompt

How do I manage shared dependencies in a pnpm workspace?

Output
Use pnpm workspace protocol for local dependencies:
# pnpm-workspace.yaml
packages:
  - 'apps/*'
  - 'packages/*'
// apps/web/package.json
{
  "name": "@myorg/web",
  "dependencies": {
    "@myorg/ui": "workspace:*",
    "@myorg/utils": "workspace:^1.0.0"
  }
}
// package.json (root)
{
  "scripts": {
    "build": "turbo run build",
    "dev": "turbo run dev --parallel",
    "test": "turbo run test"
  },
  "devDependencies": {
    "turbo": "latest"
  }
}
The `workspace:*` protocol ensures you always use the local version, while `workspace:^1.0.0` allows for version constraints.
