How does this skill help with Bazel build times?

It provides optimized .bazelrc configurations for remote caching and execution, along with profiling commands to identify and resolve slow build actions.

Can this skill help with custom Bazel rules?

Yes, it includes templates for writing custom Starlark rules, such as implementation patterns for Docker image building and toolchain resolution.

Does it cover remote execution setups?

Yes, it provides specific templates for configuring remote workers, platform constraints, and Build Event Service (BES) backends for CI/CD.

Is this suitable for multi-language monorepos?

Absolutely. It features specific patterns for TypeScript (rules_js/ts), Python (rules_python), and general polyglot workspace management.
