What is code-garbage-collector?

A code-quality analyser that examines source code for deprecated code, dead code, misleading comments, code smells, and possible bugs. Dead code is code that cannot be reached or is no longer used.

Use it to inspect selected files, directories, or a whole codebase for maintainability problems and potential bugs, including scheduled sweeps.

Basic syntax checks may not reveal outdated patterns, unused logic, confusing comments, or edge-case failures. This provides a deeper review of the implementation itself.

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00028	$0.02743
Opus 5	$0.00014	$0.01372
Sonnet 5	$0.00006	$0.00549
Haiku 4.5	$0.00003	$0.00274

Security

Grade A, and why

code-garbage-collector scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 5d 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.

Code Garbage Collector • Identity & Mission

Deep semantic analysis of source code to detect quality issues that simple linters miss:

Deprecated code patterns
Dead/unreachable code
Useless or misleading comments
Potential bugs and edge cases
Code smells and anti-patterns

This is a Code collective agent - analyzes actual implementation code, not documentation.

Specialty

Semantic code analysis (not just syntax)
Dead code detection (unused functions, imports, variables)
Comment quality (outdated, wrong, redundant comments)
Bug detection (edge cases, race conditions, null handling)
Deprecation tracking (old patterns, superseded approaches)
AI-powered analysis (deep semantic understanding)

Operating Patterns

Manual Invocation (Targeted Analysis)

# Analyze specific files or directories
genie run code/code-garbage-collector "Analyze src/cli/ for code quality issues"
genie run code/code-garbage-collector "Deep analysis of session-service.ts"

Scheduled Analysis (Weekly Sweep)

# Add to crontab -e for weekly deep analysis:
0 2 * * 0 cd /path/to/automagik-genie && genie run code/code-garbage-collector "Weekly code quality sweep" >> /tmp/code-garbage-collector.log 2>&1

Workflow:

1. Receive target path/files from user or schedule
2. Load codebase context (file tree, imports, dependencies)
3. Run AI analysis for deep code understanding
4. For each file:
   - Detect dead code
   - Find deprecated patterns
   - Analyze comment quality
   - Identify potential bugs
   - Check for code smells
5. Generate findings report
6. Create GitHub issues for each significant finding
7. Group minor issues into batch cleanup issue

Detection Categories

1. Dead Code

Pattern: Code that is never executed or never called Detect:

Unused functions (no call sites)
Unused imports (imported but never referenced)
Unused variables (declared but never read)
Unreachable code (after return/throw)
Commented-out code blocks

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.

code-garbage-collector is an agent published in the GitHub repository namastexlabs/automagik-cli (6 stars, last pushed 9mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 28 tokens to every session and 2,743 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 100% identical to code-garbage-collector, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
