Finds and removes dead or orphaned code, tests, and Storybook stories, including trivial tests that prove nothing. Validates that code is truly unused before deleting anything. Trigger on: "remove dead code", "find unused exports", "what code can we delete", "prune the repo".
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 Cleanup ## Overview Systematically identifies dead, orphaned, and trivial code across the codebase including components, tests, and Storybook stories. Validates that code is truly unused before removal to prevent breaking changes. Also removes stories that provide no documentation value or only demonstrate rare edge cases. ## What Qualifies as Dead/Trivial Code ### Dead/Orphaned Code - **Components never imported** - React components with no imports anywhere - **Unused utilities** - Functions/modules with no consumers - **Orphaned tests** - Tests for deleted/moved components - **Orphaned stories** - Storybook stories for deleted/moved components - **Commented-out code** - Code blocks that have been commented out - **Debug code** - Console logs, debug flags, temporary test utilities ### Trivial Tests - **Tests that always pass** - Tests with no real assertions or mocked to always succeed - **Empty render tests** - Tests that only verify component renders without crashing - **Pointless existence tests** - Tests that check if a component is defined - **Snapshot-only tests** - Tests with only snapshots and no behavior validation …

How to install
mdr add jerseycheese/agent-skills/dead-code-cleanup@sha256:7c925b45766f2632The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261016.04e815b, 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.
