Find Dead Code

Category: General · Sub-category: agents-skills-meta · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Find dead code using parallel subagent analysis and optional CLI tools, treating code only referenced from tests as dead. Use when the user asks to \"find dead code\", \"find unused code\", \"find unused exports\", \"find unreferenced functions\", \"clean up dead code\", or \"what code is unused\". Analysis-only — does not modify or delete code.

From the source SKILL.md

Identify dead code in a codebase. Core rule: code only used in tests is still dead code. Only production usage counts.
