monorepo-project-standard

What This Skill Does

The monorepo-project-standard skill serves as an authoritative guide for architects and developers building large-scale TypeScript or JavaScript projects. It codifies the industry-standard architecture for Monorepo management using pnpm workspaces, Turborepo, and Nx. By automating best practices for directory structure, dependency resolution, and task orchestration, this skill helps users avoid common pitfalls such as circular dependencies, inconsistent tool configurations, and slow build times. It acts as a consultant, assisting in the setup of shared workspaces where multiple applications (apps/) and libraries (packages/) coexist harmoniously.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/bovinphang/monorepo-project-standard Once installed, the agent will automatically recognize monorepo-related queries and provide specialized architectural guidance.

Use Cases

• Project Initialization: Setting up a clean, scalable folder structure from scratch using pnpm and Turbo.
• Performance Tuning: Configuring Turborepo or Nx task pipelines to maximize cache efficiency and parallelize build processes.
• Dependency Governance: Implementing the 'workspace:*' protocol to ensure packages share the latest internal code without version mismatches.
• Refactoring: Migrating fragmented multi-repo projects into a unified workspace structure.
• Standardization: Enforcing shared ESLint, TypeScript, and Prettier configurations across diverse sub-projects.

Example Prompts

1. "I'm starting a new web project and want to include a shared UI library. How should I structure my pnpm workspace?"
2. "My Turborepo build is running slowly. Can you check my turbo.json and suggest ways to improve cache hits?"
3. "How do I configure my ESLint setup so that it's shared across all packages in my Nx workspace?"

Tips & Limitations

• Tip: Always prioritize using 'workspace:*' for internal packages to ensure instantaneous updates across your repository.
• Tip: Utilize the 'outputs' field in your task runner configuration strictly to optimize incremental builds and CI/CD performance.
• Limitation: This skill focuses on frontend-heavy monorepo stacks (pnpm/Turbo/Nx). It does not provide guidance for non-Node.js monorepo tools like Bazel or Pants.
• Limitation: Users must still manually enforce strict file system boundaries; the skill provides the config templates, but the developer must ensure logical separation of domain boundaries within the directories.
