System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams identify and safely remove dead code, deprecated code, and unused exports from a codebase, reducing maintenance costs and preventing legacy bloat.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Detect unused exports, functions, and classes with no references.
  • Identify deprecated code (with TODO/FIXME markers) and orphaned files that are no longer imported or referenced.
  • Enforce preservation rules to protect public APIs, tests, and critical build assets during cleanup.
  • Use case: clean up a large monorepo without breaking builds by running a dry-run first, then applying safe deletions.

Quick Start

Run the cleanup against your repository:

  • dead-code-cleanup --dry-run
  • dead-code-cleanup path/to/target
  • dead-code-cleanup --auto After each batch, run your standard build and tests to verify integrity.
