Which monorepo tool should I choose: Turborepo or Nx?

Turborepo is recommended for most projects due to its simplicity and lightweight configuration. Nx is ideal for large-scale enterprise environments requiring deep integration and advanced plugin support.

How does this skill handle dependency management?

It leverages pnpm workspaces and 'shamefully-hoist' settings to ensure efficient disk usage and consistent versioning across all packages in the repository.

Does it include CI/CD support?

Yes, it includes GitHub Actions templates that utilize 'affected' commands to ensure only modified projects and their dependencies are tested and deployed, saving time and costs.

Can I share code between a Next.js frontend and a Node.js backend?

Yes, the skill provides specific patterns for sharing TypeScript types, validation logic, and utility functions through shared internal packages.
