<mcp_first> CRITICAL: Always fetch Turborepo documentation for current configuration.

<quick_start> turbo.json:

json

{
  "$schema": "https://turbo.build/schema.json",
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**", ".next/**"]
    },
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": []
    },
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "dev": {
      "cache": false,
      "persistent": true
    }
  }
}

Key concepts:

^build - Run build in dependencies first
outputs - Files to cache
inputs - Files that affect cache key
cache: false - Disable caching for dev tasks
persistent: true - Long-running tasks </quick_start>

<task_patterns> Build pipeline:

json

{
  "tasks": {
    "build": {
      "dependsOn": ["^build"],
      "outputs": ["dist/**"],
      "inputs": ["src/**", "package.json", "tsconfig.json"]
    }
  }
}

Test after build:

json

{
  "tasks": {
    "test": {
      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "outputs": ["coverage/**"]
    }
  }
}

Parallel independent tasks:

json

{
  "tasks": {
    "lint": {
      "outputs": []
    },
    "typecheck": {
      "outputs": []
    }
  }
}

</task_patterns>

Best practices:

Keep inputs specific to avoid cache misses
Use workspace filters for targeted builds
Enable remote caching for CI

<success_criteria>

Context7 docs fetched for current config
Tasks have proper dependsOn
outputs defined for cacheable tasks
Dev tasks have cache: false
Pipeline is efficient (parallel where possible) </success_criteria>
