Agentic Feature Flags (reflag.com)

🤖 AI Summary
Coding agents are rapidly moving from experimentation to everyday use: Linear reports 25% of workspaces (and 50% of enterprises) now use agents—mainly Cursor, Devin and Codegen—often via “Assign to Cursor” integrations that let non-engineers create PRs directly. That surge accelerates delivery but creates friction: many more small pull requests, longer review queues, more merge conflicts from parallel changes, and a higher surface area for bugs in agent-authored code even when reviews remain required. Agent-aware feature flags are presented as a practical control plane to scale agent-driven development safely. By having agents make small, incremental changes merged behind feature toggles, teams can adopt trunk-based workflows (frequent merges, unified codebase, consistent test coverage) while avoiding long-lived branches and painful conflicts. Flags provide a production kill-switch and staged rollouts—enabling faster reviews, quicker merges, internal validation by the non-engineer who requested the change, and targeted exposure to users. Reflag is highlighted as an “agent-ready” solution: agents can be told in an issue or via Cursor rules to automatically create flag-enabled PRs so code can be merged, deployed, and gated without blocking velocity or compromising safety.
