| Monorepo tasks use special path syntax with `//` and `:` prefixes. You can run these tasks directly with `mise` or with `mise run`. With non-monorepo tasks, the guidance is not to use the direct syntax for scripts because it could conflict | ||

[nitpick] This sentence is difficult to parse due to its length and complex structure. Consider breaking it into two sentences for better readability: 'You can run these tasks directly with mise or with mise run. While non-monorepo tasks should avoid direct syntax to prevent conflicts with future core mise commands, this guidance doesn't apply to monorepo tasks since mise will never define commands with // or : prefixes.'

[nitpick] The informal comment 'idk why you'd ever want to do this' is unprofessional for technical documentation. Consider replacing with a more formal explanation like 'Run all tasks in all projects (use with caution in large repositories)' or simply remove the parenthetical comment.
