Guidance for Turborepo, a build tool for JavaScript and TypeScript monorepos. A monorepo keeps multiple applications and shared packages in one repository.

Use it when setting up or debugging a Turborepo, configuring builds and tests, sharing code between apps, or running only changed packages in CI.

It helps organize task pipelines, shared packages, dependency-based builds, caching, affected-package runs, environment variables, and continuous integration.

turborepo — Skill for Claude Code by HigorAlves

Install

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.

Any agent

npx skills add HigorAlves/orc --skill turborepo

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/HigorAlves/orc

Made for: Claude Code.

Or install orc, the plugin that ships this one along with the rest of its 80 skills, 30 commands, 14 agents, 5 hooks.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00056	$0.01471
Opus 5	$0.00028	$0.00736
Sonnet 5	$0.00011	$0.00294
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00147

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 7d ago.

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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 70 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Turborepo Skill

Build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Turborepo caches task outputs and runs tasks in parallel based on the dependency graph.

This SKILL.md is an index. When you need the detail for a topic, Read the matching references/<topic>.md file — don't work from memory.

When to use

Use when the user: configures tasks/workflows/pipelines, creates packages, sets up a monorepo, shares code between apps, runs changed/affected packages, debugs the cache, sets up CI, enforces package boundaries, or is working in a repo with apps//packages/ directories or a turbo.json.

Two rules that always apply

Package tasks, not Root Tasks. Put task logic (scripts) in each package's package.json, register the task in root turbo.json, and let root package.json only delegate via turbo run <task>. Root Tasks (//#taskname) are a rare exception. See references/tasks-pipeline.md.
turbo run, not turbo, in code. Always write turbo run <task> in package.json scripts and CI. The bare turbo <task> shorthand is only for one-off interactive terminal use. See references/tasks-pipeline.md.

Decision tree → which reference to read

What are you doing?
├─ Configuring a task / pipeline (dependsOn, outputs, transit nodes, dev/watch) → tasks-pipeline.md
├─ Cache not working / wrong cache hits / debugging hashes              → caching.md
├─ Sharing cache across machines / CI                                   → remote-cache.md
├─ Running only changed packages / --filter / --affected                → filtering.md
├─ Setting up CI (GitHub Actions, Vercel, turbo-ignore)                 → ci.md
├─ Env vars not available / wrong cache from env / .env files           → env-vars.md
├─ Creating a package / structuring the monorepo / dependencies         → packages.md
└─ Enforcing import/architectural boundaries                            → boundaries.md

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 skill published in the GitHub repository HigorAlves/orc (6 stars, last pushed 14d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 56 tokens to every session and 1,471 once invoked, about $0.0003 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.
