Plan-only dead-code audit: Knip baseline for unused files, exports, and deps, plus duplication, debug residue, suppressions, orphan assets, env drift. Deletes nothing. Use when "find dead code", "is this code used", or "unused exports".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# plan-dead-code — Prove it is dead before anyone deletes it **Degree of freedom: MIXED.** Tool config authoring and the baseline command set `[LOW freedom — run exactly]`; judging *reachable vs proven-dead*, and what must keep working, `[HIGH freedom]`. **Plan-only. This pass deletes nothing** — not a file, not an export, not a dependency, not a row. It produces `plan-dead-code.md`: a reviewed keep/kill list plus a ratchet baseline. The failure mode this skill exists to prevent: an agent runs `knip` on a vibe-coded repo, gets 300 findings, and starts deleting. **On a first run, most findings are misconfiguration, not dead code.** Knip's own docs are explicit — running `--fix` "before your configuration is fully settled is dangerous", and `ignore` patterns are "a last resort" because "hiding a result is not the same as resolving it." ## This skill vs neighbors | Skill | Owns | |---|---| | **plan-dead-code** (this) | *Nothing reaches this* — unreachable files/exports/deps/assets/schema (plan only) | | `housekeep-dead-code` | Execute this plan — delete by category, install the ratchet | | `plan-stub-checker` | *This reaches nothing* — dead buttons, unwired handlers | …

How to install
mdr add kensaurus/skills/plan-dead-code@sha256:9f928d68c02584dbThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261006.39320f8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
