  Feature flag management and remote feature toggling service.
  Enable/disable features without deployment via central flag server.

  Use when: feature flags, feature toggle, a/b testing, remote config

# Feature Flags Pro v3.0.0

Enterprise feature flag management for modern development.

## Features

- Real-time feature toggling
- User targeting and segmentation
- A/B testing support
- Gradual rollout capabilities
- Analytics and metrics

## Usage

```bash
/feature-flags init --project myapp
/feature-flags check dark-mode
/feature-flags enable beta-features --users 10%
/feature-flags sync
```

## Implementation

```python
