manage-flag-lifecycle

manage-flag-lifecycle is a skill for Claude Code from harness/harness-skills. It costs 181 tokens per session (3,116 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A lifecycle manager for Harness FME feature flags, which control whether parts of an application are shown or enabled. It updates flag details, checks whether a flag is ready to archive, and handles archiving or deletion.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to update descriptions, tags, owners, and rollout status; check usage and dependencies; archive or restore flags; and delete flags or environment definitions.
Why use it?
It helps keep old flags and their metadata under control instead of leaving unused rollout settings in the system.

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

manage-flag-lifecycle 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.

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.
