Launchdarkly Flag Cleanup

Safely removing a feature flag from your code is important after a rollout is complete. This process helps you keep your code clean and maintainable while preserving the current production behavior. You need to know the correct forward value and remove all flag references without breaking anything.

First, explore your codebase to understand how the flag is used. Then run a readiness check using LaunchDarkly to see if it is safe to remove. The tool will tell you if there are any blockers or warnings. Finally, determine the winning variation and replace the flag code with that value.

This skill guides you through each step to ensure a safe and clean flag removal. It uses the LaunchDarkly MCP server to fetch flag configuration and check for dependencies. Always follow the core principles of safety, using LaunchDarkly as the source of truth, and making minimal changes.
