01 / PLANNED
Find the responsible owner
Planned records would connect a temporary flag to its purpose, owner, and intended review date.
Feature flag cleanup · Early research
Give every temporary flag a path to retirement.
A planned review queue for temporary feature flags, connecting ownership, environment checks, code references, and cleanup evidence. Join the research waitlist.

Designed around software teams with temporary flags that outlive the rollout they were created for.
Concept preview · fictional example
| Temporary flag | Review finding | Next step |
|---|---|---|
| New billing screen | One environment still active | Check rollout |
| Search ranking test | Code reference remains | Open cleanup task |
| Legacy export path | Owner confirmed | Verify removal |

MADE FOR THE WORK IN BETWEEN↗
THE FRICTION
A rollout is complete, but its flag remains in code. Someone needs to check every relevant environment, find dependent flags, and confirm that removing the reference is safe.
THE PRODUCT WE’RE EXPLORING
FlagShelf, in three parts.
FlagShelf would organize that review as owned cleanup work. It would present evidence for an engineer to verify, rather than changing production targeting on its own.
Three planned capabilities we want to validate with early users.
02 / PLANNED
Compare the relevant environments
Proposed checks would keep rollout status, remaining evaluations, and dependencies visible together.
03 / PLANNED
Track removal to evidence
Planned cleanup tasks would link code removal and review results before marking a flag ready for archival.
AN INTENDED WORKFLOW
A clearer next step.
Less work around it.
A focused approach for software teams with temporary flags that outlive the rollout they were created for.
- 01
Choose a flag inventory
A pilot would begin with an exported inventory and explicitly selected environments.
- 02
Review cleanup candidates
An engineer would inspect references, dependencies, and usage before deciding what can be removed.
- 03
Record the cleanup outcome
Attach the reviewed change and archive decision while preserving the history of the flag.

Manage your data ↗GOOD TO KNOW
A few useful answers.
Can FlagShelf scan or delete flags now?
No. This is a waitlist. Inventory connections, scans, cleanup tasks, and archive operations are not live.
Would it change production targeting automatically?
The proposed first version would be read-only for platform data and require an engineer to perform and verify changes in existing tools.
Does an unused-looking flag mean safe to remove?
No. Low usage alone is insufficient. A reviewer would need to check code references, dependencies, fallback behavior, and every relevant environment.
