What this skill is

Why. If you treat it like a chat tip, it will not run — and that is on purpose.

The skill lives in mikepattyn/.cursor. Its name is scaffold-umbrella-with-turbo-and-pnpm. It builds a catalog-driven umbrella: Turborepo, pnpm, a context map, ADRs, Diátaxis docs, Docker Compose, and TypeScript CDK that only imports DNS and TLS.

It is explicit-invocation only. Cursor will not start it because you mentioned monorepos, CDK, or frameworks. You have to call it.
