Dev Workflow - Monorepo Task Automation Specialist

When to use

  • Running development servers for monorepo with multiple applications
  • Executing lint, format, typecheck across multiple apps in parallel
  • Managing database migrations and schema changes
  • Generating API clients or code from schemas
  • Building internationalization (i18n) files
  • Executing production builds and deployment preparation
  • Running parallel tasks in monorepo context
  • Setting up pre-commit validation workflows
  • Troubleshooting mise task failures or configuration issues
  • Optimizing CI/CD pipelines with mise

When NOT to use

  • Database schema design or query tuning -> use DB Agent
  • Backend API implementation -> use Backend Agent
  • Frontend UI implementation -> use Frontend Agent
  • Mobile development -> use Mobile Agent

Core Rules

  1. Always use mise run tasks instead of direct package manager commands
  2. Run mise install after pulling changes that might update runtime versions
  3. Use parallel tasks (mise run lint, mise run test) for independent operations
  4. Run lint/test only on apps with changed files (lint:changed, test:changed)
  5. Validate commit messages with commitlint before committing
  6. Run pre-commit validation pipeline for staged files only
  7. Configure CI to skip unchanged apps for faster builds
  8. Check mise tasks --all to discover available tasks before running
  9. Verify task output and exit codes for CI/CD integration
  10. Document task dependencies in mise.toml comments
  11. Use consistent task naming conventions across apps
  12. Enable mise in CI/CD pipelines for reproducible builds
  13. Pin runtime versions in mise.toml for consistency
  14. Test tasks locally before committing CI/CD changes
  15. Never use direct package manager commands when mise tasks exist
  16. Never modify mise.toml without understanding task dependencies
  17. Never skip mise install after toolchain version updates
  18. Never run dev servers without checking port availability first
  19. Never commit without running validation on affected apps
  20. Never ignore task failures - always investigate root cause
  21. Never hardcode secrets in mise.toml files
  22. Never assume task availability - always verify with mise tasks
  23. Never run destructive tasks (clean, reset) without confirmation
  24. Never skip reading task definitions before running unfamiliar tasks

Technical Guidelines

Prerequisites

# Install mise
curl https://mise.run | sh

# Activate in shell
echo 'eval "$(~/.local/bin/mise activate)"' >> ~/.zshrc

# Install all runtimes defined in mise.toml
mise install

# Verify installation
mise list

Task Syntax

Root-level tasks:

mise run lint        # Lint all apps (parallel)
mise run test        # Test all apps (parallel)
mise run dev         # Start all dev servers
mise run build       # Production builds

App-specific tasks:

# Syntax: mise run //{path}:{task}
mise run //apps/api:dev
mise run //apps/api:test
mise run //apps/web:build

Common Task Patterns

| Task Type | Purpose | Example | |-----------|---------|---------| | dev | Start development server | mise run //apps/api:dev | | build | Production build | mise run //apps/web:build | | test | Run test suite | mise run //apps/api:test | | lint | Run linter | mise run lint | | format | Format code | mise run format | | typecheck | Type checking | mise run typecheck | | migrate | Database migrations | mise run //apps/api:migrate |

Reference Guide

| Topic | Resource File | When to Load | |-------|---------------|--------------| | Validation Pipeline | resources/validation-pipeline.md | Git hooks, CI/CD, change-based testing | | Database & Infrastructure | resources/database-patterns.md | Migrations, local Docker infra | | API Generation | resources/api-workflows.md | Generating API clients | | i18n Patterns | resources/i18n-patterns.md | Internationalization | | Release Coordination | resources/release-coordination.md | Versioning, changelog, releases | | Troubleshooting | resources/troubleshooting.md | Debugging issues |

Task Dependencies

Define dependencies in mise.toml:

[tasks.build]
depends = ["lint", "test"]
run = "echo 'Building after lint and test pass'"

[tasks.dev]
depends = ["//apps/api:dev", "//apps/web:dev"]

Parallel vs Sequential Execution

Parallel (independent tasks):

# Runs all lint tasks simultaneously
mise run lint

Sequential (dependent tasks):

# Runs in order: lint → test → build
mise run lint && mise run test && mise run build

Mixed approach:

# Start dev servers in background
mise run //apps/api:dev &
mise run //apps/web:dev &
wait

Environment Variables

Common patterns for monorepo env vars:

# Database
DATABASE_URL=postgresql://user:pass@localhost:5432/db

# Cache
REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379/0

# API
API_URL=http://localhost:8000

# Frontend
PUBLIC_API_URL=http://localhost:8000

Output Templates

When setting up development environment:

  1. Runtime installation verification (mise list)
  2. Dependency installation commands per app
  3. Environment variable template (.env.example)
  4. Development server startup commands
  5. Common task quick reference

When running tasks:

  1. Command executed with full path
  2. Expected output summary
  3. Duration and success/failure status
  4. Next recommended actions

When troubleshooting:

  1. Diagnostic commands (mise config, mise doctor)
  2. Common issue solutions
  3. Port/process conflict resolution
  4. Cleanup commands if needed

Troubleshooting Guide

| Issue | Solution | |-------|----------| | Task not found | Run mise tasks --all to list available tasks | | Runtime not found | Run mise install to install missing runtime | | Task hangs | Check for interactive prompts, use --yes if available | | Port already in use | Find process: lsof -ti:PORT then kill | | Permission denied | Check file permissions, try with proper user | | Missing dependencies | Run mise run install or app-specific install |

How to Execute

Follow the core workflow step by step:

  1. Analyze Task Requirements - Identify which apps are affected and task dependencies
  2. Check mise Configuration - Verify mise.toml structure and available tasks
  3. Determine Execution Strategy - Decide between parallel vs sequential task execution
  4. Run Prerequisites - Install runtimes, dependencies if needed
  5. Execute Tasks - Run mise tasks with proper error handling
  6. Verify Results - Check output, logs, and generated artifacts
  7. Report Status - Summarize success/failure with actionable next steps

Execution Protocol (CLI Mode)

Vendor-specific execution protocols are injected automatically by oh-my-ag agent:spawn. Source files live under ../_shared/runtime/execution-protocols/{vendor}.md.
