Reviewer scorecard
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“Simple turbo.json config, powerful caching, and Vercel remote cache integration. The easiest monorepo build tool to adopt.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“Less complex than Nx with good-enough features for most monorepos. The remote cache with Vercel is seamless.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
“Build caching and parallel execution are table stakes for monorepos. Turborepo makes them trivially easy.”
