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.
