Flag Release Skill

An Agent Skill that records an automated rollout for an existing LaunchDarkly flag guarding a pull request's change, so the change releases safely when the PR merges.

Overview

This skill teaches agents how to:

• Confirm the guarding flag exists and is OFF
• Preview each environment's release policy with match-release-policies (immediate / progressive / guarded)
• Capture the human's release intent (release on merge / hold / notBefore / segment / prerequisite) and honor it — recording only the environments the intent clears, holding the rest
• Record the rollout with create-automated-rollout-config

It operates entirely through the LaunchDarkly MCP tools: it never creates flags or edits code. It's the release step of the PR flag workflow — after launchdarkly-flag-create has created and wired the flag.

Installation (Local)

Copy skills/feature-flags/flag-release/ into your client's skills path.

Prerequisites

• The remotely hosted LaunchDarkly MCP server.
• The guarding flag already exists (created OFF).
• A pull-request reference (repoFullName + prNumber, or prUrl).

Usage

Record the automated release for flag `new-checkout-flow` on PR acme/storefront#482:
staging on merge, hold production until legal signs off.
