feature-flag-system

feature-flag-system is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 48 tokens per session (634 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to feature flags, which let software turn features on or off through configuration instead of code deployment. It covers gradual rollouts, A/B tests, canary releases, user-specific variants, and emergency kill switches.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to roll out features gradually, run production experiments, offer beta features to selected users, manage maintenance mode, and stop faulty behavior.
Why use it?
It separates putting code into a release from making that code visible to users. This lets teams limit exposure, compare alternatives, or disable a problematic feature quickly.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

feature-flag-system scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/scaffold-tests.sh, templates/test-template.js), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Feature Flag System

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement feature flags to decouple deployment from release, enable gradual rollouts, A/B testing, and provide emergency kill switches.

When to Use

  • Gradual feature rollouts
  • A/B testing and experiments
  • Canary deployments
  • Beta features for specific users
  • Emergency kill switches
  • Trunk-based development
  • Dark launching
  • Operational flags (maintenance mode)
  • User-specific features

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

interface FlagConfig {
  key: string;
  enabled: boolean;
  description: string;
  rules?: FlagRule[];
  variants?: FlagVariant[];
  createdAt: Date;
  updatedAt: Date;
}

interface FlagRule {
  type: "user" | "percentage" | "attribute" | "datetime";
  operator: "in" | "equals" | "contains" | "gt" | "lt" | "between";
  attribute?: string;
  values: any[];
}

interface FlagVariant {
  key: string;
  weight: number;
  value: any;
}

interface EvaluationContext {
  userId?: string;
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Use descriptive flag names
  • Document flag purpose and lifecycle
  • Implement gradual rollouts
  • Track flag evaluations
  • Clean up old flags regularly
  • Use feature flags for experiments
  • Implement kill switches for critical features
  • Test both enabled and disabled states
  • Use consistent hashing for stable rollouts
  • Provide admin UI for non-technical users

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
