What problem does it solve?
AI‑generated projects often accumulate dead code, stale comments, compatibility shims, defensive bloat, and over‑abstraction, which degrade maintainability and increase technical debt. The cruft‑cleaner skill systematically identifies and removes this unwanted cruft.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Multi‑phase detection: Language‑aware tooling, heuristic grep patterns, and taxonomy references to uncover high‑, medium‑, and low‑confidence cruft.
- User‑guided triage: Interactive checkpoints let users approve or reject findings by confidence tier.
- Scalable cleanup: Plans and orchestrates parallel agents with optional git worktree isolation for large codebases.
Quick Start
Run the cruft‑cleaner skill to sweep the entire repository for dead code and stale comments.
