# Allow non repo root package.json workspace files for build skipping

Build skipping requires the workspace `package.json` to be at the repository root.
We have a monorepo with multiple languages and one top-level directory for different languages (products/services). 
Our next.js apps are in `/typescript/apps/...` and `/typescript` is the workspace root with a `package.json`.
The build skipping logic should figure out if a project root dir is inside a workspace dir by looking at parent directories, instead of just relying on the top-level directory.
