# Bazel Build Optimization

For when the monorepo build has become the bottleneck

## What this does

Your team shares one very large codebase and builds keep dragging. This is about tuning Bazel, the build tool, so that work goes faster on repos at that scale. Reach for it when you are setting Bazel up, spreading build work across machines, or trying to find where the build time is going.

### Top 3 things it does for you

- Speed up a slow Bazel build
- Set up remote execution
- Configure Bazel for a large repo

A scan is named by the exact content it read, not by a version number. A different version is a different artifact, and nothing here applies to a version AIR has not scanned.

## About Bazel Build Optimization

This focuses on Bazel builds in large-scale monorepos, where build setup and build performance become their own problem.

Use it when you are configuring Bazel, putting remote execution in place, or working on build performance for an enterprise codebase.

## Questions

### Is Bazel Build Optimization safe to install?

AIR scanned this exact version of Bazel Build Optimization and flagged nothing. AIR's verdict: safe. The verdict is named by the content that was read, at commit be57c0b2e3c0, so it cannot drift onto a version nobody scanned. The full report is at https://airmarket.ai/security/bazel-build-optimization.

### How do I install Bazel Build Optimization?

Open https://airmarket.ai/app/bazel-build-optimization on Air Market and use the install action: Air Market hands Claude a prompt naming this exact skill, and Claude sets it up. Source, pinned to the exact commit this listing describes: https://github.com/wshobson/agents/tree/be57c0b2e3c05c528ca6132b87410b385718775f/plugins/developer-essentials/skills/bazel-build-optimization. Install from that link, not the branch.
