    Find unused functions and dead code in the codebase

    SKILL.md

    Dead Code Detection

    Find unused functions and dead code using TLDR static analysis.

    Quick Start

    # Scan entire project
    tldr dead .
    
    # Scan specific directory
    tldr dead src/
    
    # Specify entry points (functions to exclude from analysis)
    tldr dead . --entry main cli test_
    
    # Specify language
    tldr dead . --lang python
    tldr dead . --lang typescript
    

    Output Format

    Dead code analysis:
      Total functions: 150
      Dead functions: 12
    
    Unused functions:
      - old_helper (src/utils.py:42)
      - deprecated_func (src/legacy.py:15)
      - _unused_method (src/api.py:230)
    

    Cross-Platform

    Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux (including WSL).

    # Windows (PowerShell)
    tldr dead .
    
    # Mac/Linux
    tldr dead .
    

    Entry Points

    Functions matching entry patterns are excluded from dead code analysis:

    • main, cli - Application entry points
    • test_*, *_test - Test functions
    • setup, teardown - Fixtures
    • @app.route, @api.endpoint - Framework handlers
    # Custom entry points
    tldr dead src/ --entry main api_handler background_job
    

    Integration

    This skill replaces the session-start-dead-code hook with on-demand analysis.

    Approach Pros Cons
    Hook (removed) Automatic Slowed startup by 3s
    Skill (this) On-demand, fast Manual invocation
