refactor-clean

refactor-clean is a command for Claude Code from Galaxy-Dawn/claude-scholar. It costs 0 tokens per session (203 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for finding unused code and removing only changes that testing shows are safe. It checks Python files, imports, security issues, and project tests.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect unused functions, classes, variables, and imports, review a safety report, and verify the project before and after cleanup.
Why use it?
It reduces dead code while lowering the risk of deleting something that an application or test still needs.

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-clean 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

Refactor Clean

Safely identify and remove dead code with test verification:

  1. Run dead code analysis tools:

    • vulture: Find unused Python code (functions, classes, variables)
    • pyflakes: Detect unused imports and variables
    • ruff check --select F401: Find unused imports
    • pip-audit: Check for security vulnerabilities
  2. Generate comprehensive report in .reports/dead-code-analysis.md

  3. Categorize findings by severity:

    • SAFE: Test files, unused utilities, unused imports
    • CAUTION: API routes, models, fixtures
    • DANGER: Config files, main entry points, registry decorators
  4. Propose safe deletions only

  5. Before each deletion:

    • Run full test suite (pytest)
    • Verify tests pass
    • Apply change
    • Re-run tests
    • Rollback if tests fail
  6. Show summary of cleaned items

Never delete code without running tests first!

Changes

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.
