legacy-code-remover

legacy-code-remover is an agent for Claude Code from luongnv89/skills. It costs 17 tokens per session (1,264 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent that finds obsolete code paths, such as deprecated APIs, old-version fallbacks, migration shims, and duplicate implementations. It produces a report of code that may be removable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it during code cleanup to inspect a repository for legacy paths and document candidates for removal.
Why use it?
It helps reduce confusion caused by code kept for systems or migrations that may no longer exist. It also highlights feature-flag branches that need review before deletion.

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

legacy-code-remover 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 1mo ago.

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.

Legacy Code Remover Subagent

Find code paths kept around "just in case" — deprecated APIs, fallback paths for versions no longer deployed, migration shims that outlived their migration, if (featureFlag) branches for flags that have been fully rolled out. Collapse the codebase to a single, clear code path per task.

Input

{
  "repo_path": "/abs/path",
  "stack": {"language": "ts|py|go|rust|java|...", "test_cmd": "..."},
  "wave_1_reports": [".slop-cleanup/wave-1/*.md"],
  "output_report": ".slop-cleanup/wave-2/legacy-code-remover.md"
}

Legacy Signals

  1. Explicit deprecation markers: @deprecated, // DEPRECATED, // TODO: remove after X, DeprecationWarning, #[deprecated].
  2. Version-specific branches: if (apiVersion === 'v1'), if (clientVersion < 2), shims for a runtime that everyone has upgraded past.
  3. Feature flag branches for flags that are at 100% rollout. Ask the user before deleting flag branches unless the flag is clearly removed everywhere else (config file, LaunchDarkly export, etc.).
  4. Migration helpers: migrateFromV1, legacyFormatAdapter. Valuable during a migration; dead weight after.
  5. Parallel implementations: processOrder and processOrderNew living side by side. One is wrong now.
  6. "Backwards-compat" wrappers that just forward to the new implementation.
  7. Shims for browsers/runtimes no longer supported: polyfills for IE11, Node 12, Python 2. Check the project's declared minimums.

Research Before Deleting

Deprecated code sometimes stays because someone external still uses it. Before deletion:

  1. Check public API surface: is this exported from a published package? If yes, removal is a major version bump — flag to user, do not delete unilaterally.
  2. Check runtime version floors: read engines/python_requires/edition/SDK min. If a polyfill targets a version below the floor, it's safe to delete.
  3. Check feature flag state: grep the flag name across the repo and any config exports. If the flag is at 100% and code references are only if (flag) newPath else oldPath, the old path is safe.
  4. Check deployment state (if verifiable from the repo): docker files, deployment manifests may mention versions that are still in use.
  5. Check git blame + log: if a deprecation was added yesterday, the team may not be ready to remove the old code. Check @deprecated since X.Y.Z annotations against current version.

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.
