loom-feature-flags

loom-feature-flags is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cosmix/loom. It costs 24 tokens per session (5,212 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of patterns for feature flags, which are switches that control software behavior at runtime. They cover staged releases, experiments, emergency disable switches, permissions, and configuration changes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for canary or percentage rollouts, A/B tests, dark launches, user targeting, kill switches, and switching models or infrastructure at runtime.
Why use it?
It helps teams release or disable features gradually without redeploying, while accounting for consistent user assignment, outages, measurement, and old unused flags.

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

loom-feature-flags 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 yesterday.

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 Flags

Overview

Runtime control over feature availability without redeploying. The hard parts are not the if check — they are: bucketing correctness (stickiness, monotonicity, cross-service consistency), fail-safe evaluation (an outage of the flag service must not take down the app), experiment validity (exposure logging), and lifecycle/technical-debt (stale flags are the #1 real-world feature-flag problem). Optimize for those.

Flag Taxonomy — Type Drives Lifetime and Ownership

The single most useful classification (from Pete Hodgson / Martin Fowler). Type determines expected lifetime, who owns it, and dynamism. Mixing types under one abstraction is a common mistake.

Type Purpose Lifetime Changes at runtime? Owner
Release toggle Ship incomplete/unproven code dark, ramp Days–weeks (SHORT) Per deploy/ramp Dev team
Experiment A/B/multivariate measurement Length of test Sticky per user PM / data science
Ops / kill-switch Disable a subsystem under load/incident Long-lived On demand (fast) Ops / SRE
Permission Entitlements: plan tier, beta cohort Very long / permanent Per user/segment Product / billing

Consequences:

  • Release toggles must be removed once the feature is stable — they are debt with a deadline. Track createdAt + owner + removal ticket.
  • Ops toggles are permanent and must be evaluated with zero external calls in the hot path (see Kill Switches).
  • Permission toggles are effectively long-lived config; don't route them through the "delete after rollout" cleanup process.
  • Don't overload one flag to do two jobs (a release toggle that also gates a paid tier). Split them; they have different lifetimes.

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.

loom-feature-flags is a skill published in the GitHub repository cosmix/loom (54 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 24 tokens to every session and 5,212 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
