feature-flags-architect
Use before adding, rolling out or retiring a feature flag or kill switch, or when flag debt piles up. Plans the rollout with rollout_planner.py, finds stale flags with flag_debt_scanner.py and audits kill switches with kill_switch_audit.py.

End-to-end discipline for feature flags: classify them, ship them, ramp them, and retire them. Most teams treat flags as throwaway if-statements; this skill treats them as a controlled lifecycle with measurable debt. Adding a new flag and need a rollout plan Auditing a codebase for stale or orphaned flags Choosing a flag provider (LaunchDarkly vs GrowthBook vs Statsig vs Unleash vs Flipt vs build-your-own) Designing a kill-switch path for a risky launch Cleaning up flag debt before a release freeze Reviewing whether a feature should ship behind a flag at all Flags that skip cleanup become debt: dead branches, stale defaults, untested code paths, unbounded blast radius. The three scripts in this skill enforce the lifecycle. Different flag types have different lifespans and ownership. Misclassifying creates debt. | Type | Purpose | Typical lifespan | Owner | Cleanup trigger | |---|---|---|---|---| | Release | Hide unfinished features in production | days–weeks | Eng | 100% rollout reached | | Experiment | A/B test variants | weeks | Product/Marketing | Test concluded; winner picked | | Operational | Circuit breakers, perf toggles, kill switches | months–years | Eng/SRE | Replaced by
