Install with my Agent

Copy this request to your Agent. It includes the canonical Skill page and manifest.

Agent request

Review the Skillstore skill "bazel-build-optimization" from https://skillstore.io/skills/sickn33-bazel-build-optimization.md and its manifest at https://skillstore.io/api/skills/sickn33-bazel-build-optimization/manifest. Verify the artifact. You may proceed after verification, subject to the environment's own policy.

Your Agent should still show its plan and request any confirmation required by the security policy.

Test it

Using "bazel-build-optimization". Review a .bazelrc that uses all local CPUs and has no shared cache.

Expected outcome:

A prioritized review recommends resource limits, a measured disk cache, and optional remote caching. Each change includes validation metrics and rollback guidance.

Using "bazel-build-optimization". Explain why a TypeScript target rebuilds after unrelated changes.

Expected outcome:

A dependency-focused diagnosis checks broad inputs, oversized targets, generated files, and toolchain changes. It proposes queries and profiles to isolate invalidation.

Using "bazel-build-optimization". Plan remote execution for a mixed-language monorepo.

Expected outcome:

A rollout plan defines platforms, registered toolchains, immutable worker images, authentication, staged workloads, capacity limits, observability, and local fallback.

Security Audit

Medium Risk

v5 • 8/14/2026 Open versioned report

All 32 static findings are false positives caused by Markdown formatting, examples, trusted documentation links, cache paths, and a Bazel mnemonic. One medium semantic risk remains: the remote execution template uses a mutable latest container tag, which can change without review.

Mutable Remote Worker Image

The remote execution example uses a latest container tag, allowing worker contents to change without an auditable configuration update.

Line 334 explicitly configures a remote execution container with the mutable latest tag. Pinning a digest is the established integrity control.

What You Can Build

Reduce Developer Build Times

Review profiles and configuration to identify slow actions, improve target granularity, and increase cache reuse.

Standardize Monorepo Targets

Create consistent TypeScript and Python BUILD patterns with clear dependencies, tests, and visibility.

Scale Continuous Integration

Plan remote caching, remote execution, build event reporting, and CI-specific Bazel settings.

Try These Prompts

Review Basic Configuration

Review this Bazel configuration for correctness and simple performance improvements. Explain each recommendation and provide verification steps.

Create Library Targets

Design Bazel targets for this library, its tests, and dependencies. Use explicit visibility and explain all repository-specific assumptions.

Diagnose Slow Builds

Analyze these Bazel profile results and execution logs. Rank bottlenecks, recommend changes, and define measurements that confirm each improvement.

Design Remote Execution

Design a secure remote execution rollout for this monorepo. Cover platforms, toolchains, caching, authentication, immutable images, capacity, observability, and rollback.

Best Practices

Measure a stable baseline before changing configuration, target boundaries, or execution strategy.
Pin dependencies, toolchains, and remote worker images with immutable versions or digests.
Test changes on representative workloads and compare clean, incremental, local, and remote builds.

Avoid

Do not enable high remote concurrency before validating service capacity, quotas, and cost controls.
Do not copy placeholder endpoints, checksums, labels, or credentials into production configuration.
Do not optimize only clean builds when developers primarily depend on incremental performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this skill run Bazel commands automatically?

No. It provides guidance and examples. Command execution depends on the connected agent, available tools, and user approval.

Can it configure remote caching for any provider?

It provides general Bazel settings. Authentication, endpoints, certificates, quotas, and service-specific options require provider documentation.

Does it support Bzlmod?

The source focuses mainly on WORKSPACE examples. Ask for Bzlmod-specific guidance and verify syntax against your Bazel version.

Can it identify the slowest build actions?

Yes, when you provide Bazel profiles or execution logs. Recommendations still require controlled measurements in your environment.

Are the provided dependency checksums ready to use?

No. Placeholder checksum values must be replaced with verified digests from trusted release sources.

Is remote execution always faster?

No. Results depend on action size, network latency, cache hit rate, worker capacity, toolchains, and workload distribution.
