Bazel Build Optimization

Production patterns for Bazel in large-scale monorepos.

Do not use this skill when

The task is unrelated to bazel build optimization
You need a different domain or tool outside this scope

Instructions

Clarify goals, constraints, and required inputs.
Apply relevant best practices and validate outcomes.
Provide actionable steps and verification.
If detailed examples are required, open resources/implementation-playbook.md.

Use this skill when

Setting up Bazel for monorepos
Configuring remote caching/execution
Optimizing build times
Writing custom Bazel rules
Debugging build issues
Migrating to Bazel

2. Key Concepts

Concept	Description
Target	Buildable unit (library, binary, test)
Package	Directory with BUILD file
Label	Target identifier `//path/to:target`
Rule	Defines how to build a target
Aspect	Cross-cutting build behavior
