GitNexus Dead Code Detector

CLI ONLY — no MCP server exists. Never use readMcpResource with gitnexus:// URIs.

Find orphan functions, dangling imports, isolated files, and unreachable code using the GitNexus knowledge graph.

Self-Evolving Skill: This skill improves through use. If instructions are wrong, parameters drifted, or a workaround was needed — fix this file immediately, don't defer. Only update for real, reproducible issues.

When to Use

• Periodic codebase cleanup
• Before a major release to reduce surface area
• After a refactor to find newly orphaned code
• "Are there any unused functions?"

For language-specific dead code tools (vulture, knip, clippy): use quality-tools:dead-code-detector instead. This skill uses the GitNexus graph for cross-file structural analysis.
