Examples

# Create a new flag (disabled by default)
node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs create my-new-feature -d "Enable new feature for testing"

# Create a flag that's enabled immediately
node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs create my-feature --enabled -d "Already enabled feature"

node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs disable my-new-feature

# Delete a flag (with confirmation)
node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs delete old-flag

# Delete without confirmation
node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs delete old-flag --force

node .claude/skills/flipt/flipt.mjs list --json

GitOps Integration

Flipt uses GitOps - flags are stored in the civitai/flipt-state repository. Changes made via the API are temporary and will be overwritten on the next Git sync (every 30 seconds).

For permanent changes, edit the repository directly:

# Clone the state repo
gh repo clone civitai/flipt-state /tmp/flipt-state

# Edit civitai-app/default/features.yaml
# Add your flag under the `flags:` section

# Commit and push
cd /tmp/flipt-state
git add -A && git commit -m "Add new feature flag" && git push

Flag Format in YAML

flags:
  - key: my-feature-flag
    name: my-feature-flag
    type: BOOLEAN_FLAG_TYPE
    description: Description of what this flag controls
    enabled: false
    # Optional: rollout rules
    rollouts:
      - threshold:
          percentage: 50
          value: true
      - segment:
          keys:
            - moderators
          operator: OR_SEGMENT_OPERATOR
          value: true

Safety Notes

API changes are temporary: The Git repo is the source of truth
Test before enabling: Use segments for gradual rollout
Coordinate with team: Others may be editing the same flags
