Find unused functions, classes, variables, exports, feature flags, and config keys across the codebase and produce a prioritized removal list.
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
TODAY=!`date +%Y-%m-%d` # Dead Code Scan Identifies code that is defined but never used — functions, classes, variables, exports, feature flags, and config keys — and produces a prioritized list of safe removals. Dead code increases cognitive load, slows onboarding, and enlarges the codebase that future changes must account for. ## Prerequisites - Working directory is the root of the repository (or a subdirectory) - Optional: `$1` — path to limit the scan (defaults to `.`) - Language-specific tools installed as available (degrades to heuristics): - Python: `vulture` (`uv tool install vulture` or `pip install vulture`) - JavaScript/TypeScript: `ts-prune` (`npx ts-prune`) or `knip` (`npx knip`) - Go: `deadcode` (`go install golang.org/x/tools/cmd/deadcode@latest`) ## Categories of Dead Code | Category | Examples | |----------|---------| | Unused functions / methods | Defined but never called anywhere in the codebase | | Unused classes / types | Defined but never instantiated or referenced | | Unused variables / constants | Assigned but never read | | Unused imports | Imported but not used in the file | …

How to install
mdr add tomzx/agents/find-dead-code@sha256:1f7f83436fa56fccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.b35fc4b, 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.
