Scan the dependency graph for orphan nodes (uncalled symbols and unreferenced files) and produce a safe, ranked deletion plan. Use this skill whenever the user asks about dead code, unused code, orphan symbols, unreferenced files, code cleanup, or code hygiene — even if they don't say "dead code" explicitly. Also trigger for: "remove unused exports", "find unused functions", "find unused classes", "clean up before a refactor", "clean up after removing a feature…

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

# Dead Code Hunter

Systematic scan of the dependency graph to surface orphan symbols and unreferenced files.
Produces a ranked, safety-annotated deletion plan powered by Graph-It-Live.

## CLI and Capability Discovery

Prefer the Graph-It CLI. At the first activation of any Graph-It skill in a session, check
`graph-it --version` when the CLI and terminal are available; use only its existing newer-version
notice and do not poll npm. Share discovery, version, and update decisions across Graph-It skills
for the session. Run `graph-it tool --list` once, consult `graph-it --help` or command help as
needed, and refresh only when the CLI/version, server, or workspace changes or a requested tool is
unknown. Examples are illustrative, not a fixed inventory. Do not install automatically. If the
CLI is unavailable or unsuitable, use MCP only when the connected host advertises an equivalent
tool and its schema; otherwise explain the gap. `graph-it tool <name>` invokes analysis directly
through CLI; `graph-it serve` starts MCP. CLI `--format` and MCP `response_format` are distinct.

If the CLI reports a newer version, interactive use requires explicit positive confirmation before

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add magic5644/graph-it-live/dead-code-hunter@sha256:1950caef023e495b

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261105.81bcd24, 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.
