SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Find and remove dead code, unused exports, and entropy-induced pattern violations without breaking builds.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Entropy reporting and health metrics for large codebases
  • Safe auto-fixes for dead exports, unused files, and orphaned dependencies
  • Convergence-driven cleanup with validation to preserve behavior

Quick Start

Run the cleanup skill to analyze entropy, identify dead code, and apply safe fixes.

Frequently Asked Questions about cleanup-dead-code

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automatically find and remove dead code in a JavaScript monorepo?▼

You can automate dead code detection in a JavaScript monorepo by scanning for dead exports, unused files, and orphaned dependencies, then applying convergence-driven auto-fixes with validation to ensure safe removal.

What is entropy reporting and how does it keep a TypeScript codebase healthy?▼

Entropy reporting measures codebase health by identifying dead code and pattern violations in TypeScript projects, allowing you to safely auto-fix issues and prevent entropy-induced decay without breaking builds.

Can I safely auto-fix unused exports without breaking my existing builds?▼

Yes, you can safely auto-fix unused exports by running a convergence-driven cleanup loop that validates behavior and runs tests before applying changes, ensuring dead code removal does not break builds.

How do I identify and clean up orphaned dependencies in my codebase?▼

To clean up orphaned dependencies, you can scan your codebase to detect unused packages and apply safe auto-remediation, using validation and tests to confirm behavior remains intact after removal.

Does this dead code cleanup approach work with both TypeScript and JavaScript projects?▼

Yes, this dead code cleanup approach works with both TypeScript and JavaScript projects, including monorepos, by scanning for dead exports, unused files, and pattern violations to maintain code health.
