The premise
AI can read build profiles and surface cache-miss patterns faster than a human eyeballing logs.
What AI does well here
- Cluster cache misses by rule and target.
- Suggest BUILD file changes that improve hit rate.
- Draft remote-cache config diffs with rationale.
What AI cannot do
- Measure your team's actual cache hit rate without telemetry access.
- Decide which targets are safe to mark cacheable.

Agents vs. Autocomplete — the Mental Model Shift
Autocomplete is a suggestion. An agent is an actor. The mental model you bring to each is different, and conflating them is the number-one reason teams trip over AI coding.
