Description

A pull request is the closest point of value to a customer. All the upstream work, research, product thinking, design, engineering has already been done. The change is written. It's ready. The PR is the atomic unit where effort converts into customer value, and it's the single highest-impact point in our delivery pipeline. That's exactly where we have a bottleneck. At any given time we have ~50 PRs in the queue across a 15-person engineering team. No one is reviewing accurately — at this volume, engineers are approving, not reviewing. The code we produce (increasingly AI-assisted and agent-generated) has already outpaced what a human can meaningfully validate by reading diffs. This isn't a process problem we can fix with better review habits. It's a structural problem. The model of "a human reads the diff before it merges" doesn't scale when code production accelerates and the cost of context-switching into someone else's change is high.

README excerpt

# Turborepo starter

This Turborepo starter is maintained by the Turborepo core team.

## Using this example

Run the following command:

```sh
npx create-turbo@latest
```

## What's inside?

This Turborepo includes the following packages/apps:

### Apps and Packages

- `docs`: a [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) app
- `web`: another [Next.js](https://nextjs.org/) app
- `@repo/ui`: a stub React component library shared by both `web` and `docs` applications
- `@repo/eslint-config`: `eslint` configurations (includes `eslint-config-next` and `eslint-config-prettier`)
- `@repo/typescript-config`: `tsconfig.json`s used throughout the monorepo

Each package/app is 100% [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/).

### Utilities

This Turborepo has some additional tools already setup for you:

- [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/) for static type checking
- [ESLint](https://eslint.org/) for code linting
- [Prettier](https://prettier.io) for code formatting

### Build

To build all apps and packages, run the following command:

With [global `turbo`](https://turborepo.dev/docs/getting-started/installation#global-installation) installed (recommended):

```sh
cd my-turborepo
turbo build
```

Without global `turbo`, use your package manager:

```sh
cd my-turborepo
npx turbo build
pnpm dlx turbo build
pnpm exec turbo build
```

You can build a specific package by using a [filter](https://turborepo.dev/docs/crafting-your-repository/running-tasks#using-filters):

With [global `turb
