A cleanup command that removes clearly unused code, imports, and outdated TODO comments while preserving program behaviour.

Use it to tidy a codebase, remove unused imports and unreachable code, and report what was deleted.

It reduces clutter without changing what the software does, while leaving uncertain or publicly used code alone.

clean — Command for Claude Code by JuliusBrussee/caveman-code

Getting it into your agent

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.

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/caveman-code

Made for: Claude Code.

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	$0.00015	$0.00295
Opus 5.5	$0.00006	$0.00118
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00003	$0.00059
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00030

Security

Grade A, and why

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 2mo 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

Tidy ${1:-.} without changing behaviour.

Targets:

Unused imports (use the language's tooling — tsc --noUnusedLocals, ruff check --select F401, cargo clippy -- -W unused-imports, etc.).
Variables / functions / classes that have zero references.
Dead branches (if (false), unreachable code after return/throw).
Stale TODO/FIXME comments that reference long-resolved work — only delete when you can prove the underlying issue is done (closed PR, missing function, etc.).
Commented-out code blocks > 5 lines.

Hard rules:

Behaviour-preserving only. If you're unsure, leave it.
One commit per category if possible.
Never delete public API surface (exported symbols / public functions) without explicit user approval.
Never delete tests.

Output a summary table at the end:

Category	Lines removed	Files touched
Unused imports	…	…
Dead code	…	…
Stale TODOs	…	…

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.
