Does this skill delete code automatically?

The skill can either remove confirmed dead code or provide a detailed report of findings for manual review, depending on how you prompt it.

How does it handle re-exported code in index files?

The skill's search strategy specifically checks barrel files (like index.ts) for re-exports to ensure that code exported for public use is not incorrectly flagged as dead.

Can it detect unused React components?

Yes, it is designed to find unreferenced frontend assets including React components, hooks, context providers, and utility functions.

Will it find unused private functions?

Yes, it searches the codebase for direct usage patterns like imports, function calls, and property access to determine if an export is truly orphaned.

Does it scan the entire repository for unused code?

No, it specifically analyzes code added in the current branch (relative to the master branch) to avoid accidentally deleting legacy public APIs that might be used by external consumers.

开发者工具

Identifies and removes unused functions, components, and exports introduced in feature branches to maintain a lean codebase.

关于

The dead-code skill helps developers maintain high code quality by automatically scanning recent changes for unreferenced exports. It analyzes git diffs between the current branch and master to identify newly added functions, classes, React components, and API endpoints that lack external references. By checking imports, usage patterns, and barrel files, it ensures that only truly redundant code is flagged for removal, effectively preventing technical debt and reducing bundle sizes before merging.
