Ask Claude to Scaffold a pnpm Workspace Monorepo

Setting up a pnpm monorepo from scratch means juggling pnpm-workspace.yaml, per-package package.json files, shared tsconfig.json paths, and build order. Claude can generate the whole scaffold from a description.

Set up a pnpm workspace monorepo with three packages:
- apps/web (Next.js 14 app)
- packages/ui (shared React component library, TypeScript)
- packages/utils (shared TypeScript utilities, no framework)

Include a root tsconfig.json with path aliases for each package.
Add a shared ESLint config in packages/eslint-config.

Claude will generate the pnpm-workspace.yaml, each package.json with correct workspace protocol references ("@myapp/ui": "workspace:*"), and the tsconfig path aliases so imports like @myapp/ui/Button resolve correctly.

For build orchestration, ask Claude to add Turborepo:

Add Turborepo to the monorepo above.
Create a turbo.json with a build pipeline that compiles packages/utils 
and packages/ui before apps/web.
Add a root build:all script and a dev script that runs all apps in parallel.

Claude understands Turborepo's task dependency model and will configure dependsOn and outputs correctly so caching works.

Monorepo setup in minutes — describe your packages and let Claude wire it together.
