The record

Product: Ultra Runner is a monorepo script runner and build tool.
Setup: The project says it works with existing monorepos without changes to package.json files.
Workspace support: It detects Lerna, Yarn, npm 7, and pnpm workspaces, or searches recursively for packages.
Builds: It uses workspace dependencies and file change tracking to run builds concurrently and skip packages without detected changes.
Commands: It can run package scripts, node_modules binaries, and system binaries recursively across a repository.
Script compatibility: It parses package.json scripts, supports shell operators such as &&, ;, and ||, and runs configured pre and post scripts.
Filtering: Recursive commands can be filtered by package names or subdirectories using wildcard patterns.
Concurrency limit: Recursive commands default to a concurrency of 10, which can be changed with --concurrency.
Process monitoring: The --monitor option lists running Node processes with their package and command line.
Output: It offers pretty, no-pretty, and raw output formats, with an optional silent mode.
Installation: The README gives global and project-local installation commands using npm or Yarn.
Compatibility: The README says scripts can still be run with npm or Yarn even when Ultra's optional concurrency configuration is used.
License: The repository identifies its license as Apache-2.0.
Maker: The GitHub profile identifies the maintainer as Folke Lemaitre and lists Ghent, Belgium.
