Dead code accumulates in codebases, making maintenance harder and increasing risk of bugs. This Skill enforces dead code elimination by detecting commented-out code, unused exports, orphaned files, unlinked TODOs, and stub/placeholder functions to keep the project healthy and safe for refactors.
Run a targeted scan of your scope to locate cleanup opportunities and recommended actions.

Dead code detection works by analyzing your codebase exports, tracking orphaned files, and identifying non-functional placeholders like stubs. It flags unused exports and commented-out blocks to keep your API minimal and reduce maintenance risks during refactors.
Yes, static analysis can surface unlinked TODOs and orphaned files across your codebase. It tracks unlinked TODOs and recommends converting them into issue references, while flagging orphaned files for deletion to maintain project hygiene.
Yes, dead code elimination works with Go and Rust codebases, alongside TypeScript, JavaScript, and Python. It analyzes exports, orphaned files, and non-functional placeholders across these languages to keep libraries, CLI tools, services, and test suites healthy.
The best way to clean up unused exports and stub functions is to use an automated linter script that detects non-functional placeholders and flags unused API endpoints, providing actionable refactor guidance to delete stubs with minimal disruption.
You should run a dead code scan before a major refactor to eliminate commented-out blocks, unused exports, and orphaned files. Removing this non-functional code reduces bug risks and makes the remaining architecture safer to modify.
