Does it support custom build rules?

Absolutely. The skill includes examples of writing custom Starlark rules, such as those for Docker image creation, to extend Bazel's functionality for specific workflow needs.

Can I use this for multi-language projects?

Yes, it includes specific templates for TypeScript/JavaScript using aspect_rules_js and Python using rules_python, making it ideal for polyglot monorepos.

How does this skill help with slow Bazel builds?

It provides pre-configured .bazelrc templates for remote caching and execution, along with specific commands for profiling builds to identify and eliminate performance bottlenecks.

Is this suitable for developers new to Bazel?

Yes, it explains core concepts like Targets, Packages, and Labels while providing a standard directory architecture to help beginners establish a solid foundation.
