Knip identifies and helps remove dead code by locating unused files, dependencies, devDependencies, exports, and types in a codebase to reduce bloat and maintenance surface area.
Run npx knip to generate a report, classify uncertain items for confirmation, and apply safe fixes with npx knip --fix --allow-remove-files while respecting existing knip config and workspace flags.

You can detect unused exports and dead code by running an analysis tool that scans your repository for unreferenced files, exported symbols, and types. It produces a categorized report highlighting unused exports and dependencies for cleanup.
Yes, you can automatically remove unused files and dependencies by running the tool with --fix and --allow-remove-files options. This applies automated fixes for high-confidence issues while respecting your configuration and workspace flags.
Yes, unused code detection works for both single-package repositories and monorepos. The tool respects workspace flags and configuration to accurately locate unused files, dependencies, and exports across multiple packages in your codebase.
The safest workflow for cleaning up dead code involves running a scan, classifying items into auto-delete versus needs-clarification batches, asking about uncertain items once, and then re-running the scan to verify that the cleanup is complete and safe.
You can integrate dead code detection into CI workflows by running the tool to generate parseable reports during your pipeline. It respects existing configuration and workspace flags, allowing automated checks for unused dependencies and exports before merging.
