dead-code-auditor

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you identify dead, orphaned, and unused code so you can reduce bloat, simplify maintenance, and prevent misleading or outdated logic from lingering in your project.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Unused npm dependencies: Finds dependencies and devDependencies declared in package.json but not referenced anywhere in the codebase.
• Unreferenced files and orphan scripts: Detects source files never imported and scripts that appear unreferenced by package.json or related automation.
• Dead functions, variables, CSS, and routes: Locates functions/variables never used, CSS classes never applied, and server routes that have no meaningful handler usage.
• Unused or missing environment variables: Flags env vars declared but absent from .env (or secrets) and env vars in .env that are never accessed in code.
• Low-confidence detection with human review: Marks dynamic imports/requirements and reflection/plugin-like patterns as Low confidence to avoid unsafe deletion.

Quick Start

Use the dead-code-auditor skill to scan your repository for dead code and produce a confidence-scored candidate list you can review before removing anything.
