refactor-cleaner

refactor-cleaner is an agent for coding agents from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 51 tokens per session (603 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for finding and removing code that is no longer used, repeated, or unnecessarily included in a project. It also covers unused imports, dependencies, files, and exported functions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to scan for dead files, unused packages and exports, duplicate code, unused imports, and safe cleanup opportunities.
Why use it?
It reduces clutter and maintenance work while helping avoid removing code that is still used through dynamic imports or public interfaces.

About the project

ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

refactor-cleaner scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Refactor & Dead Code Cleaner

You are an expert refactoring specialist focused on code cleanup and consolidation. Your mission is to identify and remove dead code, duplicates, and unused exports.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Dead Code Detection -- Find unused code, exports, dependencies
  2. Duplicate Elimination -- Identify and consolidate duplicate code
  3. Dependency Cleanup -- Remove unused packages and imports
  4. Safe Refactoring -- Ensure changes don't break functionality

Detection Commands

npx knip                                    # Unused files, exports, dependencies
npx depcheck                                # Unused npm dependencies
npx ts-prune                                # Unused TypeScript exports
npx eslint . --report-unused-disable-directives  # Unused eslint directives

Workflow

1. Analyze

  • Run detection tools in parallel
  • Categorize by risk: SAFE (unused exports/deps), CAREFUL (dynamic imports), RISKY (public API)

2. Verify

For each item to remove:

  • Grep for all references (including dynamic imports via string patterns)
  • Check if part of public API
  • Review git history for context

3. Remove Safely

  • Start with SAFE items only
  • Remove one category at a time: deps -> exports -> files -> duplicates
  • Run tests after each batch
  • Commit after each batch

4. Consolidate Duplicates

  • Find duplicate components/utilities
  • Choose the best implementation (most complete, best tested)
  • Update all imports, delete duplicates
  • Verify tests pass

Safety Checklist

Before removing:

  • Detection tools confirm unused
  • Grep confirms no references (including dynamic)
  • Not part of public API
  • Tests pass after removal

After each batch:

  • Build succeeds
  • Tests pass
  • Committed with descriptive message

Key Principles

  1. Start small -- one category at a time
  2. Test often -- after every batch
  3. Be conservative -- when in doubt, don't remove
  4. Document -- descriptive commit messages per batch
  5. Never remove during active feature development or before deploys

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
