name: monorepo-gen description: Set up Turborepo monorepo structure. Use when starting a monorepo.

Monorepo Generator

Monorepos are powerful but setting them up right is tricky. This tool scaffolds a proper Turborepo structure with all the config you need.

One command. Zero config. Just works.

Quick Start

npx ai-monorepo

What It Does

• Sets up Turborepo in your project
• Creates apps and packages folders
• Configures shared TypeScript and ESLint
• Sets up workspace dependencies

Usage Examples

# Set up in current directory
npx ai-monorepo

# Custom target directory
npx ai-monorepo ./my-project

Best Practices

• Keep packages focused - single responsibility
• Use internal packages - share code without publishing
• Cache aggressively - Turborepo's strength is caching
• Define clear boundaries - which packages can depend on what

When to Use This

• Starting a new monorepo project
• Migrating from multiple repos to monorepo
• Adding Turborepo to existing project
• Learning monorepo patterns
