## What it is
Wireit is a Google-maintained tool that upgrades npm/pnpm/yarn scripts with dependency graphs, parallel execution, watch mode, and incremental build skipping. It caches script output locally and on GitHub Actions while keeping the familiar `npm run` workflow.

## Use cases
- run npm script dependencies in parallel
- skip rebuilds when files haven't changed
- cache build output in GitHub Actions CI
- watch npm scripts and re-run on file changes
- manage build tasks across npm workspaces monorepos

## When to choose
- you already use npm/pnpm/yarn scripts and want incremental builds without switching to a full task runner
- you want free remote caching for CI builds on GitHub Actions
- your monorepo has slow, serial script dependencies

## When to avoid
- you need a full task runner with complex pipelines beyond npm scripts
- your project doesn't use Node.js package managers
- you need build orchestration for non-JavaScript toolchains

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: build-tool, caching, cli, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, web-development, performance
- platform: cli, cross-platform
- tags: npm-scripts, monorepo, watch-mode, incremental-build, task-runner, github-actions-cache, vscode-extension, automation, nodejs
