How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • LogicRank flags by staleness and blast radius
  • OutputPost ranked digest to Slack with team mentionsSlack

What it does

Gives the team a low-friction weekly view of which flags should be removed, ranked by how long they've been stale and how many call sites they touch. Nothing is changed in the repo; it's a visibility report that prompts owners to act.

When to use it

Use it when you want awareness before automation, or when your codebase's flag patterns are too varied for safe auto-rewrites. A good first step toward a cleanup culture.

How it works

  1. 1A weekly schedule triggers the digest.
  2. 2Query Postgres for every flag at 100% rollout past the staleness threshold.
  3. 3For each, count references and find the owning team via GitHub blame and CODEOWNERS.
  4. 4A logic step ranks flags by staleness age times call-site count.
  5. 5Format a digest grouping flags by owning team with age and reference counts.
  6. 6Post the ranked digest to the engineering Slack channel with @-mentions per team.
