xtarterize applies configuration through discrete tasks. Each task detects whether it is needed and applies changes only when necessary. Use --only <task-id> or --skip <task-id> to select tasks.
In monorepos, tasks are filtered by scope: root tasks appear only at the monorepo root, and package tasks only inside workspace packages. See the monorepo guide.
