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.

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 | $0.00043 | $0.02172 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.01086 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00434 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00217 |
Grade A, and why
lsp-dead-code 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 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.
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.

How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 237 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Requires the agent-lsp MCP server.
lsp-dead-code
Audit an exported symbol list for zero-reference candidates. Calls
list_symbols to enumerate symbols, then checks each exported
symbol with find_references to find callers. Produces a classified report.
When to Use
Use this skill when you want to identify dead code in a file — exported symbols that are defined but never called anywhere in the workspace. Common use cases:
- Cleaning up APIs before a release
- Identifying legacy exports that can be safely removed
- Auditing a package for unused public surface area
Important: This skill surfaces candidates. Always review results manually before deleting anything. See the Caveats section below.
What counts as "exported"
| Language | Exported means... |
|---|---|
| Go | Identifier starts with an uppercase letter (e.g. MyFunc, MyType) |
| TypeScript | Has export keyword; or is a public class member (no private) |
| Python | Not prefixed with _; or explicitly listed in __all__ |
| Java/C# | Has public or protected visibility modifier |
| Rust | Has pub keyword |
Prerequisites
If LSP is not yet initialized, call mcp__lsp__start_lsp with the
workspace root first:
mcp__lsp__start_lsp({ "root_dir": "/your/workspace" })
agent-lsp supports auto-inference from file paths, so explicit start is only required when switching workspaces or on a cold session.
Step 0 — Verify indexing is complete (mandatory)
Do not skip this step. An under-indexed workspace returns [] for
symbols that ARE referenced, producing false dead-code candidates.
Pick one symbol you know is actively used (e.g. the primary constructor,
a widely-called utility function). Call find_references on it:
What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

lsp-dead-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository blackwell-systems/agent-lsp (121 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 2,172 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
Other skills, from other repositories
authoring-schemas
Author a mache projection schema (Topology→Node→Leaf) that maps structured data or source code into a filesystem/graph. Use when creating or debugging a -schema.json for a new data source (SQLite/JSON) or a new source language. Covers both dialects — tree-sitter S-expression selectors for code, and JSONPath selectors…
authoring-smell-rules
Add a findsmells rule to mache — a SQL query over the projected code graph that surfaces a code smell (duplication, complexity, dead code, drift). Use when adding or debugging a SmellRule in cmd/smellrules.go or an external $MACHESMELLRULESDIR rule. Covers the SmellRule struct, the standalone-vs-ast table capability…
mache-explore
Mount a mache FUSE filesystem inside the project directory so agents can explore structured data without per-file permission prompts.
analyze-usage
Use when asked to analyze codescout tool usage, check for error patterns, audit tool health, generate a usage report, spot anti-patterns, or clear usage statistics to start fresh.
code-intelligence
Universal, safe, and professional code modification and refactoring environment for 50+ languages. Use when editing source files to prevent syntax breakage, perform project-wide type-aware renames (LSP), or distill large command output to save context window tokens.
claude
Skill "claude" from paladini/locus-mcp, covering claude code skill (stub), when to use locus, when to use grep, mcp registration and status.
