get_dead_code
Find dead code in your codebase, from unused exports to unreachable files and zombie packages, with confidence-based tiers to prioritize cleanup.
Instructions
Unused exports, unreachable files, zombie packages — tiered by confidence.
Run before a cleanup sprint, not a targeted fix. Findings tier
high/medium/low with per-directory and per-owner rollups; workspace
mode lowers confidence on findings other repos import.
Args:
repo: usually omitted.
kind: unreachable_file | unused_export | unused_internal | zombie_package.
An unrecognised value is dropped and named in ignored_arguments,
never applied as a filter that matches nothing.
min_confidence: floor, default 0.4 (0.7 = cleanup-ready only). Also
accepts a tier name: "high" (0.8) | "medium" (0.5) | "low" (0.0).
safe_only: deletion-ready findings only (no runtime-load risk).
limit: max findings per tier (clamped to 25).
tier: "high" (>=0.8) | "medium" | "low".
directory: path-prefix filter.
owner: primary-owner filter.
group_by: "directory" | "owner" rollup.
include_internals: also scan private symbols (more false positives).
include_zombie_packages: monorepo package findings (default true).
no_unreachable: skip file-level reachability findings.
no_unused_exports: skip public-export findings.
finding_id: stable ``id`` emitted by a dead-code finding.
