Overview
Turborepo is a build system distributed as the `turbo` npm package and implemented in Rust. The README describes it as a build system for coding agents and defers all usage details to turborepo.dev. It is general build tooling rather than an AI app starter, so it fits this list only loosely.
Who it is for: Developers who want a fast build system for repos worked on by coding agents
