Turborepo Skill

The Turborepo skill lives in the main vercel/turborepo repository and is built around one idea: the complete Turborepo documentation now ships inside the installed turbo package, so an agent should read that instead of relying on training data or a skill full of copied guidance. The skill itself says not to rely on it for framework guidance; it is a pointer to the right source.

It triggers on the work monorepo maintainers actually do: editing turbo.json, task pipelines, local and Remote Cache behaviour, the turbo CLI, filtering, environment variables, package boundaries, monorepo structure and CI workflows. The agent starts at node_modules/turbo/docs/README.md, a task index, picks the smallest relevant page and reads it before changing configuration, package scripts or CI.

Two practical details make it work across setups. When the package manager uses a non-flat node_modules layout or a workspace link, the agent resolves the real location first with node -p "require.resolve('turbo/package.json')" and reads the docs relative to it. When turbo is not installed at all, it inspects the repository's package manager and existing version constraints before adding it, then uses the docs of the version it installed rather than guidance for a different release.

The result is a short skill whose answers stay correct as Turborepo changes, because the documentation it reads is versioned with the code. It suits teams running JavaScript or TypeScript monorepos with Turborepo who want an agent to change pipeline or cache configuration safely. MIT-licensed, maintained by Vercel.
