Explain a single FME feature flag in plain language: purpose, default rule, and per-environment targeting state, flagging inconsistencies across environments inline. A quick-lookup/explain capability, not a search across many flags - disambiguates when the name/key given is ambiguous. Doesn't create, kill, or modify anything - see update-flag-targeting for targeting changes, manage-flag-lifecycle for metadata/archive, discover-feature-flags for multi-flag questions, manage-experiments for…
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
# Explain Flag
Answer "what does this flag do right now" for one named flag: its purpose, what serves by default, and how targeting differs (or doesn't) across environments - without touching anything.
## 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` · `filters: { offset: 0, limit: 100 }` · `compact: false` | `harness list fme_environment --json` |
| List flags | `harness_list` · `fme_feature_flag` · `size: 50` · `filters: { name, offset: 0 }` · `compact: false` | `harness list feature_flag --search <substring> --json` |
| Get flag | `harness_get` · `fme_feature_flag` · `params: { feature_flag_name }` | `harness get feature_flag <name> --json` |
| Get definition | `harness_get` · `fme_feature_flag_definition` · `params: { feature_flag_name, environment_id }` | `harness get feature_flag:definition <flag> --env <env-id> --json` |

How to install
mdr add harness/harness-skills/explain-flag@sha256:2fb85e1caa3014b2The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.2, 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.
