dead-code

Find and safely remove dead code: unreachable paths, unused exports, unused functions, unused variables, unused CSS selectors, unused npm/pip/cargo dependencies, unused env vars, and commented-out code blocks. Builds full import graph, verifies no dynamic references before removal, runs build and tests after cleanup. Use when trimming bloat, removing unused dependencies, cleaning up after a refactor, reducing bundle size, or eliminating stale code.

Frequently asked questions about dead-code

What does the dead-code skill do?

Find and safely remove dead code: unreachable paths, unused exports, unused functions, unused variables, unused CSS selectors, unused npm/pip/cargo dependencies, unused env vars, and commented-out code blocks. Builds full import graph, verifies no dynamic references before removal, runs build and tests after cleanup. Use when trimming bloat, removing unused dependencies, cleaning up after a refactor, reducing bundle size, or eliminating stale code. It's a reusable SKILL.md instruction set that loads into your AI coding assistant on demand, no prompt engineering, no copy-pasting every session.

How do I install the dead-code skill?

Run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install dead-code` from your terminal. The CLI writes the SKILL.md to the correct location for your AI tool (e.g. ~/.claude/skills/dead-code/ for Claude Code or ~/.cursor/skills/ for Cursor with --target cursor) and adds it to your project's .skills.json lockfile.

Which AI tools does dead-code work with?

dead-code runs in Claude Code. It follows the open Agent Skills standard (SKILL.md), so the same skill works in every supported tool without modification.

Is the dead-code skill free?

Yes. Every skill on skills-hub.ai is free and open-source. There are no premium tiers, paywalls, or usage limits. You only pay for whatever AI assistant you're already using.

How do I use dead-code after installing it?

In Claude Code, type `/dead-code` (or whatever slash command the skill registers) and the AI follows the skill's instructions immediately. You can also reference it by name in natural language, your AI loads the skill into context when relevant.

Can I share the dead-code skill with my team?

Yes. Commit your project's .skills.json lockfile and teammates run `npx @skills-hub-ai/cli install` (no args) to install every skill at the exact version you pinned. Organization-scoped installs work via skills-hub.ai organizations.
