What it does
Orchestrates LaunchDarkly SDK setup in an existing codebase: creates a resumable onboarding log, explores the repo to detect the language and framework, installs companion flag-management skills, configures the LaunchDarkly MCP server, installs and initializes the SDK, and scaffolds a first feature flag. Designed for projects adding LaunchDarkly from scratch or integrating feature flags into an existing codebase.

Frequently asked
Does this skill require a LaunchDarkly account upfront?
No. Steps 0–3 (log, explore, detect, install skills) run without an account. Account status is confirmed naturally during Step 4 via MCP OAuth, or surfaced at Step 5 if you need to provide SDK keys manually.
What coding agent platforms does this work with?
It requires an MCP-capable coding agent (like Cursor or Claude Code). Task tracking uses your agent's native tool if available (TodoWrite in Cursor, TaskCreate in Claude Code), or falls back to an in-chat checklist.
Do I need SDK keys or API tokens before starting?
No. The skill defers credential collection until the step that actually uses them — MCP uses OAuth (Step 4), and the SDK install collects keys only when wiring environment variables (Step 5).
Can I pause and resume onboarding later?
Yes. Step 0 writes a living onboarding log file (LAUNCHDARKLY_ONBOARDING.md) that tracks progress, so a new session or another agent can pick up where you left off.
What if I do not have the MCP server configured?
The skill falls back to ldcli or REST API for SDK discovery and flag creation, though MCP is preferred. Onboarding remains completable without it.
