Use when unused functions, classes, exports, or files need to be identified and safely deleted.
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
## 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@sha256:b5fa170a06bed18eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260606.27855e0, 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.
