What are the best practices for defining 'inputs' in Turborepo?

You should define explicit file patterns in the 'inputs' array to avoid unnecessary cache invalidation. This includes source files and configurations while excluding documentation or test files from build caches.

How does Turborepo caching improve build speed?

Turborepo caching stores the outputs of tasks like 'build' or 'test'. If the inputs haven't changed, Turborepo restores the cached files instead of re-running the task, saving significant time.

How do I troubleshoot why my cache isn't working?

The skill provides debugging commands such as 'turbo build --summarize' and 'turbo build --dry-run' to inspect hashes and identify exactly why a cache miss occurred.

Can I use this skill for remote caching on private servers?

Yes, this skill includes a specific template for a self-hosted Express-based remote cache server, along with the configuration needed to point Turborepo to it.
