Fallow includes explicit scope boundaries (an explicit 'when not to use' or 'out of scope' section); a dedicated installation section; pricing or quota commentary. At roughly 2,867 words the SKILL.md is on the longer end of the catalog distribution.
Fallow sits in the Engineering category under the architecture sub-topic in the ClaudSkills catalog. There are 10 related skills indexed alongside it; comparing a few before installing usually reveals which fits your workflow best.
These notes are auto-generated from features detected in the SKILL.md file and from this catalog's structure — they aren't part of the source repository.
Codebase intelligence for JavaScript and TypeScript. The free static layer finds unused code, circular dependencies, code duplication, complexity hotspots, architecture boundary violations, and feature flag patterns. The optional paid runtime layer (Fallow Runtime) merges production execution data into the same fallow health report for hot-path review, cold-path deletion confidence, and stale-flag evidence. 90 framework plugins, zero configuration, sub-second static analysis.
Fallow is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the architecture sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/fallow/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when asked to analyze code health, find unused code, detect duplicates, check circular dependencies, audit complexity, check architecture boundaries, detect feature flags, clean up the codebase, auto-fix issues, merge runtime coverage, or run fallow.
The Fallow Claude Code skill is built for software engineers, backend developers, full-stack teams, and technical leads building and maintaining production systems. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 118,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
