Configure Turborepo for efficient monorepo builds with task pipelines, remote caching, and proper package dependencies. **CRITICAL: Always fetch Turborepo documentation for current configuration.**

MCPSearch({ query: "select:mcp__plugin_devtools_context7__query-docs" })

// Task configuration
mcp__context7__query_docs({
  libraryId: "/vercel/turborepo",
  query: "How do I configure tasks with dependsOn, outputs, and inputs?",
});

// Caching
mcp__context7__query_docs({
  libraryId: "/vercel/turborepo",
  query: "How do I configure cache outputs and remote caching?",
});

// Filtering
mcp__context7__query_docs({
  libraryId: "/vercel/turborepo",
  query: "How do I filter workspaces and packages?",
});

Note: Context7 v2 uses server-side filtering. Use descriptive natural language queries.

**turbo.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

**Build pipeline:**

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

Test after build:

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

Parallel independent tasks:

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

```bash turbo build # Build all packages turbo build --filter=@org/app # Build specific package turbo build --filter=./apps/* # Build apps only turbo build --filter=...@org/lib # Package and dependents turbo build --force # Ignore cache turbo build --dry-run # Preview what will run ``` **Required:** - Define `outputs` for cacheable tasks - Use `^` prefix for dependency ordering - Set `cache: false` for dev tasks - Use `persistent: true` for long-running tasks

Best practices:

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

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)
