# Turborepo Caching

Production patterns for Turborepo build optimization.

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up new Turborepo projects
- Configuring build pipelines
- Implementing remote caching
- Optimizing CI/CD performance
- Migrating from other monorepo tools
- Debugging cache misses

## Core Concepts

### 1. Turborepo Architecture

### 2. Pipeline Concepts

| Concept        | Description                      |
| -------------- | -------------------------------- |
| **dependsOn**  | Tasks that must complete first   |
| **cache**      | Whether to cache outputs         |
| **outputs**    | Files to cache                   |
| **inputs**     | Files that affect cache key      |
| **persistent** | Long-running tasks (dev servers) |

## Templates

### Template 1: turbo.json Configuration

```json
{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "globalDependencies": [".env", ".env.local"],
  "globalEnv": ["NODE_ENV", "VERCEL_URL"],
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"],
      "env": ["API_URL", "NEXT_PUBLIC_*"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"],
      "inputs": ["src/**/*.tsx", "src/**/*.ts", "test/**/*.ts"]
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": [],
      "cache": true
    },
    "typecheck": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    },
    "clean": {
      "cache": false
    }
  }
}
```

### Template 2: Package-Specific Pipeline

```json
// apps/web/turbo.json
{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "extends": ["//"],
  "pipeline": {
    "build": {
      "outputs": [".next/**", "!.next/cache/**"],
