What problem does it solve?

This skill automates the identification and removal of unused files, dependencies, and exports in a codebase, reducing maintenance burden and improving build performance.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated cleanup: Detects dead code, unused dependencies, and orphaned exports to shrink bundles and simplify maintenance.
  • Monorepo support: Handles multi-package repositories, coordinating cleanup across packages.
  • Safety-first cleanup: Applies changes only when safe, with options to preview before deleting.

Quick Start

  1. Install locally if needed: npm install -D knip
  2. Run initial analysis: npx knip
  3. Apply safe fixes: npx knip --fix --allow-remove-files
