What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers clean a codebase by identifying and removing unused files, dependencies, and exports to reduce bloat and maintenance overhead.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-detect unused files by static/graph analysis to prune dead code paths.
  • Identify unused dependencies and devDependencies in package.json for safer removal.
  • Remove unused exports from modules to simplify public APIs.
  • Use Case: Before a release, run knip to shrink the codebase and improve maintenance.

Quick Start

Run npx knip to scan the project. Review the output categories and, if appropriate, run npx knip --fix --allow-remove-files to automatically delete unused files, dependencies, and exports.
