dead-code-removal skillA
dead-code-removal is agent-read markdown (skill) from yeaight7/agent-powerups: Use when unused functions, classes, exports, or files need to be identified and safely deleted..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
## Purpose Dead code increases maintenance overhead and confuses developers. Verify a symbol is truly unused across the entire repository, then delete it outright — never comment it out. ## When to Use - A symbol, file, or export looks unused - A feature removal or migration left orphaned helpers behind - A coverage or lint report flags unreachable code ## Inputs - The candidate symbols/files to remove - The repo's test and type-check commands ## Workflow 1. **Verify unused — search the entire repository.** Do not assume code is dead just because the current file doesn't use it: ```bash grep -rn "symbolName" . --include="*.ts" --include="*.tsx" # all references grep -rn "from ['\"].*module-name" src/ # import sites git log -3 --oneline -- path/to/suspect-file # recent touches ``` Ecosystem tools can shortcut the inventory when available (e.g., knip or ts-prune for TypeScript exports, vulture for Python). 2. **Check for dynamic invocation.** Be wary of dynamically invoked code — reflection, dependency injection by string name, ORM mappers, route tables, config-driven dispatch: ```bash …

How to install
mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dead-code-removal@git:20260606.27855e0mdr add yeaight7/agent-powerups/dead-code-removal@sha256:b5fa170a06bed18ePin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
