Manage metadata and lifecycle for a Harness FME feature flag: update description, tags, owners, rollout status; assess archive readiness (usage, experiments, dependents); archive/unarchive; delete definitions in one environment; delete the flag. Supports single flags or explicit small lists (≤ 20). Use when asked to change flag metadata, archive a flag, check if a flag is safe to archive, unarchive a flag, or delete a flag/definition. Do not use for targeting changes (update-flag-targeting)…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Manage Flag Lifecycle

Manage metadata, archive readiness, archive/unarchive, and deletion for Harness FME feature flags. Related: `update-flag-targeting` (targeting), `discover-feature-flags` (stale flags), `cleanup-feature-flags` (code removal).

## Tools

Works through the Harness MCP server or the Harness CLI; names are from [tool-map.md](../../../references/fme/tool-map.md).

| Operation | MCP | CLI |
|-----------|-----|-----|
| List environments | `harness_list` · `fme_environment` · `compact: false` | `harness list fme_environment --json` |
| List flags | `harness_list` · `fme_feature_flag` · `size: 50` · `filters: { name?, tags?, rollout_status_id?, offset? }` · `compact: false` | `harness list feature_flag --search <name> --status <ACTIVE\|ARCHIVED> --json` (CLI has no `--tags`/`--rollout-status-id`; filter client-side on the full JSON, which MCP's `tags`/`rollout_status_id` filters do server-side) |
| Get flag | `harness_get` · `fme_feature_flag` · `params.feature_flag_name` | `harness get feature_flag <name> --json` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add harness/harness-skills/manage-flag-lifecycle@sha256:f9a38fc102cbfa0a

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
