From click-ops to Claude Code: building an AI-powered Optimizely flag toolkit
tool-useagentic
What happened
Depop built the 'Optimizely Toolkit,' a custom Claude Code skill backed by a Docker tool. It automates feature flag creation, enforces metadata standards, copies configurations from templates, and sends Slack notifications, eliminating manual 'click-ops' in their experimentation workflow.
Why it matters
Demonstrates a practical, production-grade implementation of custom tools integrated into a coding agent (Claude Code).
The take
This is a stellar, concrete example of how engineering teams are actually using Claude Code in production. Instead of just using it as a generic chat assistant, they built a custom Docker-backed tool that plugs directly into Claude Code's agentic environment. This is the future of developer tooling.
Do this
Read the full case study and consider building custom Docker-backed tools/skills to extend Claude Code for your team's internal platforms.
