# repoctl, pnpm, and Turborepo

pnpm manages packages and dependencies. Turborepo orchestrates tasks and caching. repoctl provides repository workflows, conventions, diagnostics, templates, checks, reports, and release steps.

| Tool      | Primary responsibility                       |
| --------- | -------------------------------------------- |
| pnpm      | Workspace packages and dependency management |
| Turborepo | Task pipelines and caching                   |
| repoctl   | Repository operations and guided checks      |
