ll-find-dead-code

To find dead code, this Skill performs static analysis on your source code repository to map symbol references and identify orphaned functions, classes, or modules that are no longer reachable by the active codebase.

Static analysis for identifying unused functions and classes is a scanning process that examines your project structure without executing code, mapping symbol references to accurately detect deprecated or unreachable code segments.

Yes, you can use dead code detection during a refactoring sprint to audit legacy modules, generate a clear report of orphaned utility functions, and safely remove bloat to improve overall code readability.

The best way to reduce technical debt from deprecated code paths is to scan your repository to detect unused functions and classes, review the generated safety report, and prune the unreachable code segments to decrease maintenance overhead.

This approach verifies safety before removing dead code by generating a clear report of identified orphaned code blocks, allowing developers to review the detected symbol references and safely delete bloat without breaking functionality.

No specific dependencies are required to scan your directory for orphaned code blocks; the Skill operates directly within your software development lifecycle to map project structure and report unused code.
