Teams using monorepo-architect should expect a more consistent output, faster repeated execution, less prompt rewriting.
When to use this skill
- You want a reusable workflow that can be run more than once with consistent structure.
When not to use this skill
- You only need a quick one-off answer and do not need a reusable workflow.
- You cannot install or maintain the underlying files, dependencies, or repository context.

# 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 1. Assess codebase size and team structure 2. Select appropriate monorepo tooling 3. Design workspace and project structure 4. Configure build caching strategy 5. Set up affected/changed detection 6. Implement task pipelines 7. Configure remote caching for CI 8. 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
