About update-graft-inventory
A maintenance skill for Grove contributors who manage feature flags, called grafts in Grove terminology. It describes how to reconcile migration and production D1 data with the inventory JSON and the KnownFlagId type.
Key features
- 01Find grafts in migrations
- 02Compare inventory with production D1
- 03Update inventory metadata and counts
- 04Maintain the KnownFlagId type
- 05Check CI inventory mismatches
Use cases
- 01Adding a feature flag through a migration
- 02Removing or deprecating a graft
- 03Resolving a graft-inventory CI failure
- 04Auditing inventory against production

When to Activate
Activate this skill when:
- Adding new feature flags via SQL migrations
- Removing or deprecating grafts
- The graft-inventory CI check fails
- You want to verify inventory matches production D1
- After applying migrations that add grafts
Files Involved
| File | Purpose |
|---|---|
.github/graft-inventory.json | Source of truth for graft counts and metadata |
libs/engine/migrations/*.sql | Migration files that define grafts |
libs/engine/src/lib/platform/feature-flags/flags.ts | Type definitions (KnownFlagId) |
docs/guides/adding-grafts-and-flags.md | Developer guide (grafts = Grove term for feature flags) |
Inventory Structure
The inventory tracks grafts with full metadata:
{
"grafts": {
"total": 10,
"breakdown": {
"platform": 8,
"greenhouse": 2
},
"byType": {
"boolean": 9,
"number": 1
}
},
"flags": [
{
"id": "fireside_mode",
"name": "Fireside Mode",
"type": "boolean",
"greenhouseOnly": true,
"migration": "040_fireside_scribe_grafts.sql",
"description": "AI-assisted writing prompts"
}
]
}
Step-by-Step Process
1. List Grafts from Migrations
# Extract all flag IDs from migration INSERT statements
grep -hoP "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO feature_flags.*?VALUES\s*\(\s*'\K[a-z_]+" libs/engine/migrations/*.sql | sort -u
2. Query Production D1
# Get actual flags from production database
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT id, name, flag_type, greenhouse_only, enabled FROM feature_flags ORDER BY id;"
3. Compare with Inventory
# Read current inventory
cat .github/graft-inventory.json | jq '.flags[].id' | sort
4. Identify Discrepancies
Look for:
- New grafts: In migrations/D1 but not in inventory
- Removed grafts: In inventory but not in D1
- Changed metadata: Type, greenhouse_only, or description changed
5. Update Inventory JSON
Edit .github/graft-inventory.json:
-
Update counts:
"grafts": { "total": <new count>, "breakdown": { "platform": <non-greenhouse count>, "greenhouse": <greenhouse_only count> } } -
Add/remove flag entries:
"flags": [ { "id": "new_flag_id", "name": "Human Readable Name", "type": "boolean", "greenhouseOnly": false, "migration": "XXX_migration_name.sql", "description": "What this flag controls" } ] -
Update metadata:
"lastUpdated": "YYYY-MM-DD", "lastAuditedBy": "claude/<context>"
6. Update KnownFlagId Type
Edit libs/engine/src/lib/platform/feature-flags/flags.ts:
export type KnownFlagId =
| "fireside_mode"
| "scribe_mode"
| "meadow_access"
| "jxl_encoding"
| "jxl_kill_switch"
| "new_flag_id"; // Add new flag
7. Commit Changes
git add .github/graft-inventory.json libs/engine/src/lib/platform/feature-flags/flags.ts
git commit -m "docs: update graft inventory
- Add <flag_id> to inventory
- Update total: X -> Y
- Update KnownFlagId type"
Quick Reference Commands
# Count grafts in migrations
grep -c "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO feature_flags" libs/engine/migrations/*.sql | awk -F: '{sum+=$2} END {print sum}'
# List all flag IDs
grep -hoP "INSERT OR IGNORE INTO feature_flags.*?VALUES\s*\(\s*'\K[a-z_]+" libs/engine/migrations/*.sql | sort -u
# Count greenhouse-only grafts
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM feature_flags WHERE greenhouse_only = 1;"
# Full flag details from production
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT * FROM feature_flags ORDER BY id;"
# Check which migrations haven't been applied
# Compare migration file flag IDs vs production D1 flag IDs
Adding a New Graft (Full Checklist)
When adding a new graft:
- Create migration file:
libs/engine/migrations/XXX_name.sql - Apply migration:
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --file=... - Add to
KnownFlagIdtype inflags.ts - Add entry to
.github/graft-inventory.jsonflags array - Update inventory counts (total, breakdown.platform/greenhouse, byType)
- Update
lastUpdatedandlastAuditedBy - Commit all changes together
Verifying Production Sync
After updating, verify production matches:
# Expected count
jq '.grafts.total' .github/graft-inventory.json
# Actual count in production
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --command="SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM feature_flags;"
If they don't match, migrations may need to be applied:
# Apply a specific migration
npx wrangler d1 execute grove-engine-db --remote --file=libs/engine/migrations/XXX_name.sql
CI Integration
The .github/workflows/graft-inventory.yml workflow:
- Runs on PRs touching
libs/engine/migrations/*.sql - Runs on PRs touching
libs/engine/src/lib/feature-flags/** - Parses migrations for INSERT statements
- Compares count to inventory
- Comments on PRs when there's a mismatch
- Creates issues for drift on scheduled runs (Wednesdays)
When CI fails, run this skill to fix the mismatch.
Checklist
Before finishing:
- Production D1 graft count matches inventory
total - All flags in D1 have entries in inventory
flagsarray -
KnownFlagIdtype includes all flag IDs -
lastUpdateddate is today - Counts add up:
total = platform + greenhouse - Type breakdown is accurate
- Changes committed with descriptive message
