Can I revert the changes made by the cleanup skill?

Yes, the skill follows a rule to commit changes in logical batches (e.g., imports, functions, config), making it simple to review or revert specific changes via Git.

How does it handle code that is only used in tests?

The cleanup skill specifically checks if code is called within test files; if it is, the code is preserved to ensure your test coverage remains intact.

What happens if a removal causes a test failure?

If any test or type-check fails after a removal, the skill is instructed to restore the code, as the failure indicates the code was actually necessary despite appearing unused.

Does the cleanup skill remove code without verification?

No, the skill uses global searches to verify code is unused and runs your project's specific test and type-check commands after each batch of removals to ensure nothing is broken.

Does this skill work with any programming language?

While it follows general clean code principles, it is optimized for projects with defined test and type-check commands, specifically following standard conventions for imports and configuration.

Developer Tools

Prunes dead code, unused imports, and stale configuration to reduce technical debt and improve codebase maintainability.

The cleanup skill provides an automated, systematic approach to codebase refactoring and maintenance. By actively removing unreferenced functions, purging unused imports, and enforcing standardized import ordering, it streamlines development environments and reduces cognitive load. Unlike basic linters that only report issues, this skill actively fixes quality findings from audits, synchronizes configuration files with environment variables, and cleans up test suites. Every modification is verified against your project's existing test and type-check commands, ensuring that removals never break core functionality while keeping the repository lean and performant.

Key Features

01Synchronizes environment examples with configuration files to remove stale settings

02Identifies and removes dead functions and unreferenced code across the repository

03Cleans test suites by removing empty classes, unused fixtures, and skipped tests

04Integrates safety checks by running type-check and test commands after every removal batch

050 GitHub stars

06Automates the purging of unused imports and organizes import statements by standard conventions

Use Cases

01Enforcing code quality standards after a period of rapid prototyping

02Preparing a legacy repository for a major refactor or migration

03Automating the routine maintenance of large-scale Python and FastAPI projects
