Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned wshobson/agents at 46891e7e60.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

The bazel-build-optimization skill helps streamline and accelerate Bazel build processes by identifying inefficiencies, suggesting configuration improvements, and applying best practices. It can analyze build logs, detect redundant targets, and recommend optimizations such as enabling caching or parallel execution.

When to use it

  • You're experiencing slow build times with Bazel and want to identify bottlenecks.
  • Your team is looking to improve CI/CD pipeline performance by optimizing the build process.
  • You need guidance on configuring Bazel for large-scale projects with many dependencies.
  • You are preparing for a codebase migration or refactoring and want to ensure efficient builds.

Key capabilities

  • Analyzes Bazel build logs for inefficiencies
  • Recommends configuration changes to improve performance
  • Identifies redundant or unused targets in the build graph
  • Suggests best practices for caching, parallelism, and dependency management

Example prompts

  • "Analyze my latest Bazel build log and suggest optimizations."
  • "What are the top three ways I can reduce build time with Bazel?"
  • "Identify redundant targets in my BUILD files and recommend removal."

Tips & gotchas

  • Ensure your Bazel version is up to date for compatibility with optimization suggestions.
  • Review all recommendations carefully, as some changes may affect dependency resolution or target visibility.
