Build System Audit

Analyze the current build configuration and identify optimization opportunities.

Context Gathering

Before auditing, understand:

Build Environment

• Engine and version
• Build system (MSBuild, Gradle, SCons, etc.)
• Current build times (full and incremental)
• Hardware specs (CPU, RAM, storage type)

Known Issues

• Slowest build stages
• Frequent rebuild triggers
• Cache effectiveness
• Error patterns

Audit Checklist

Configuration

• Parallel jobs configured appropriately
• Incremental builds enabled
• Unnecessary features disabled
• Compiler optimizations appropriate for stage

Caching

• Build cache enabled and effective
• Cache hits vs misses tracked
• Cache size appropriate
• Cache invalidation working correctly

Dependencies

• Dependencies are properly declared
• No circular dependencies
• Version pinning consistent
• Unused dependencies removed

Assets

• Asset import settings optimized
• Texture compression appropriate
• Audio formats optimized
• Unnecessary assets excluded
