Purge dead thoughts. The datamancer purgares the code — finds structs never imported, fields never read, collections never populated, branches never taken. The cost of a dead thought is compute.
Scan a codebase to surface dead-code patterns and guide cleanup.

Dead code detection scans for exported-but-never-imported structs and unused parameters to surface concrete refactoring signals. It identifies modules and types that consume compute without adding value, guiding cleanup to reduce binary size.
Static analysis identifies fields written but never read by tracing control flow and data access patterns. This highlights dead data paths within structs, delivering actionable deletion guidance to lower cognitive load.
Static analysis can find branches always taken the same way by evaluating control flow paths. It surfaces these dead branches alongside never-populated collections and unused parameters, providing refactoring targets to reclaim productivity.
Scanning for never-populated collections and dead parameters involves tracing data population and usage across modules. The analysis identifies these dead code patterns and outputs concrete refactoring guidance for codebase cleanup.
Dead code detection applies to any language with modules, structs, and control flow. It requires static analysis to trace imports and execution paths, surfacing unused types and dead paths regardless of the specific compiler.
Removing dead code paths reduces both binary size and cognitive load by eliminating unused structs, unread fields, and never-taken branches. This refactoring reclaims productivity by purging compute-wasting dead thoughts from the codebase.
