Find unused functions and dead code in the codebase

Overview

# Dead Code Detection

Find unused functions and dead code using TLDR static analysis.

Quick Start

```bash

# 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).

```bash

# 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

```bash

# 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 |

# Full codebase structure
