codebase-inventory-audit

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the lack of visibility into codebase health that leads to accumulated technical debt, unreferenced orphan code, duplicate logic, and missing public API documentation, all of which slow development cycles and increase maintenance costs for software projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structure Visualization: Generate module dependency and call relationship diagrams to map code architecture clearly.
• Orphan Code Detection: Identify unreferenced functions, unused classes, dead code files, and unused exports that bloat the codebase.
• Duplicate Logic Detection: Spot similar code blocks across different modules to enable consolidation and reduce redundant maintenance work.
• Tech Debt Quantification: Assign a standardized health score to the codebase and rank cleanup tasks by return on investment.
• Use Case: A development team can use this Skill to scan a mid-sized project, find 12 unused utility functions and 15 duplicate validation logic blocks, then generate a prioritized cleanup plan to reduce technical debt without disrupting active development.

Quick Start

Use the codebase-inventory-audit skill to run a full audit of the current project, generate a code health score, identify all orphan code and duplicate logic, and output a prioritized technical debt cleanup plan.
