Clean Architecture Monorepo Template

Turborepo + pnpm monorepo organised by vertical features, with an agent-first workflow and five conformance gates.

This template is built for agent-driven development. Sandcastle is the orchestration substrate; pnpm work dispatch is the entry point. See ADR-019 for the decision rationale and docs/guides/runbook.md for end-to-end usage.

Start here

Read docs/guides/runbook.md — day-1 onboarding (prerequisites, env vars, daily commands, troubleshooting, Using Sandcastle for agent dispatch).

Quick reference

pnpm install           # Install + auto-wire husky pre-commit hooks
pnpm dev               # All dev servers (web-next:3000, cms:3001, web-tanstack:3002, storybook:6006)
pnpm test              # All tests
pnpm typecheck         # TypeScript across all packages
pnpm lint              # ESLint (incl. 8 conformance/* rules)
pnpm conformance       # Cross-feature event closure
pnpm fallow            # Whole-codebase: dead exports, dupes, complexity
pnpm turbo boundaries  # Workspace dependency graph
pnpm work status       # docs/work/ epic + story state
docker compose up -d   # Start PostgreSQL

Scaffolding

pnpm turbo gen feature <name>             # Lazar-conformant feature (manifest + contracts + tests)
pnpm turbo gen event                      # Event contract or handler (requires gen core-package events)
pnpm turbo gen job                        # Background job
pnpm turbo gen realtime                   # Realtime channel (requires gen core-package realtime)
pnpm turbo gen core-package <name>        # Optional core: events / realtime / trpc / ui / audit
pnpm turbo gen core-ui-component <name>   # Atomic-design component

Generator-first is non-negotiable — hand-rolled feature/event/job/realtime/component code is rejected by reviewer agents and may fail the CI scaffold-drift check.

Optional packages

Five core packages scaffold on demand:

pnpm turbo gen core-package realtime  # Socket.IO realtime layer (ADR-016)
pnpm turbo gen core-package events    # Cross-feature events + Payload jobs (ADR-015)
pnpm turbo gen core-package trpc      # tRPC server setup
pnpm turbo gen core-package ui        # Design system
pnpm turbo gen core-package audit     # DPA-compliant audit logging (ADR-018)
