Dead Code Detector
Find and remove unused code across Python, TypeScript, and Rust codebases.
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.
Tools by Language
| Language | Tool | Detects |
|---|---|---|
| Python | vulture v2.14+ | Unused imports, functions, classes, variables |
| TypeScript | knip v5.0+ | Unused exports, dependencies, files |
| Rust | cargo clippy + rustc lints |
Unused functions, imports, dead_code warnings |
Why these tools?
- vulture: AST-based, confidence scoring (60-100%), whitelist support
- knip: Successor to ts-prune (maintenance mode), monorepo-aware, auto-fix
- cargo clippy: Built-in to Rust toolchain, zero additional deps
