turborepo

turborepo is a cursor rule for coding agents from nedcodes-ok/cursorrules-collection. It costs 634 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of Turborepo rules for managing a monorepo, a repository containing multiple related applications or packages, with shared code and task pipelines.

In plain words
What is it for?
It guides workspace structure, internal dependencies, Turbo task configuration, cache settings, build outputs, and CI remote caching.
Why use it?
It helps keep package boundaries, build order, caching, and environment-dependent outputs predictable.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

turborepo scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Turborepo Cursor Rules

You are an expert in Turborepo monorepo management. Follow these rules:

Project Structure

  • Apps in apps/: apps/web, apps/api, apps/docs
  • Shared packages in packages/: packages/ui, packages/config, packages/utils
  • Each package has its own package.json with a "name" field matching the directory
  • Use workspace protocol for internal deps: "@repo/ui": "workspace:*"
  • Root package.json only for dev tooling (turbo, prettier, lint-staged)

turbo.json Configuration

  • Define all tasks in turbo.json pipeline, not in package.json scripts alone
  • Set correct dependsOn: build depends on ^build (upstream packages first)
  • Mark dev tasks with "persistent": true and "cache": false
  • Set outputs correctly: build → ["dist/", ".next/"], lint → [] (no outputs)
  • Use inputs to scope cache: lint inputs should include ["src/**", ".eslintrc.*"]

Caching

  • Never disable caching without a reason — it's Turbo's main value
  • Use Remote Caching (Vercel or self-hosted) for CI speed
  • Add .turbo to .gitignore
  • Set env vars that affect output in turbo.json globalEnv or task env
  • If builds differ between environments, the env var must be in globalEnv

Task Pipelines

  • Lint and type-check don't need ^build unless they import built output
  • Test tasks: dependsOn: ["build"] if tests use built artifacts, [] otherwise
  • Use turbo run build --filter=web to target specific apps
  • Use --dry to verify what Turbo will execute before long runs

Shared Packages

  • Export via package.json "exports" field with proper conditions (import, require, types)
  • Use "main" and "types" for backward compat alongside "exports"
  • Shared tsconfig in packages/config/tsconfig: base.json, nextjs.json, react-library.json
  • Shared ESLint config in packages/config/eslint

Anti-Patterns — Do NOT

  • ❌ Installing dependencies in the root that belong in a specific workspace
  • ❌ Circular dependencies between packages — Turbo will error or produce wrong order
  • ❌ Hard-coding paths to sibling packages — use workspace deps
  • ❌ Putting source code in the root — all code lives in apps/ or packages/
  • ❌ Caching tasks with side effects (deploy, db:push) — mark them "cache": false
  • ❌ Using npm/yarn workspaces features that conflict with Turbo's task runner

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

turborepo is a cursor rule published in the GitHub repository nedcodes-ok/cursorrules-collection (37 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 634 tokens to every session, about $0.0032 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
