finding-dead-code

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps teams identify dead or unused code by requiring concrete evidence of usage (callers) before marking items as alive, thereby improving maintainability and reducing technical debt.

Core Features & Use Cases

• End-to-end dead code verification: scans the entire codebase for potential dead code and proves its status with caller evidence.
• Write-only detection: identifies setters or storages updated without any reads.
• Transitive dead code and removal planning: groups orphaned code, suggests safe deletions, and provides an implementation plan.

Quick Start

Start by running a full git-safe dead-code analysis on the repository to identify truly unused code.
