code-cleanup

code-cleanup is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from changoo89/claude-pilot. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,456 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-cleanup workflow finds unused imports, variables, and files, then removes them using Knip or standard linting tools. Dead code is code that is no longer used but remains in the project.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for scanning a repository or selected path, removing unused imports, and finding or deleting files with no references.
Why use it?
It helps reduce leftover code after refactoring and makes it easier to see what the project actually depends on.

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

code-cleanup 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 4d 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.

SKILL: Code Cleanup

Purpose: Dead code detection and removal using knip (recommended) or ESLint/TypeScript fallback Target: Coder Agent, cleanup commands


⚠️ EXECUTION DIRECTIVE

IMPORTANT: Execute ALL steps IMMEDIATELY and AUTOMATICALLY.

Core Philosophy: Auto-apply Low/Medium risk | High-risk: User confirmation | Safe flags: --dry-run, --apply | Verification after each batch


Quick Start

When to Use This Skill

  • Remove unused import statements
  • Detect and delete dead files (zero references)
  • Clean up codebase after refactoring

Usage

MODE="${1:-files}"  # imports|files|all
SCOPE="${2:-repo}"  # repo|path=...

.cleanup-ignore Support

Create .cleanup-ignore file in project root:

# Core infrastructure
**/auth/**
**/database/**
**/*.config.*

# Entry points
**/index.ts
**/main.ts

# Generated files
**/generated/**
**/*.gen.ts

Loading order: Read .cleanup-ignore → Apply patterns → Exclude protected files


Step 1: Detect Dead Code

Detection Tools

Recommended: knip

npx knip                    # Full analysis
npx knip --reporter compact # Concise output
npx knip --fix              # Auto-fix safe issues

Fallback: Standard tooling

grep -r "import.*from" src/ --include="*.ts"  # Unused imports
find src/ -name "*.ts" -exec grep -l "{}" \;   # Dead files

Dead File Detection Procedure

EXCLUDE="--glob '!*.test.ts' --glob '!*.spec.ts' --glob '!index.ts'"
rg --files $EXCLUDE src/ | while read file; do
  refs=$(rg -c "from.*['\"]$file" src/ || echo 0)
  [ "$refs" -eq 0 ] && echo "$file: 0 references"
done

Step 2: Risk Classification (4-Level)

Risk File Types Action
SAFE Tests (*.test.*), mocks, fixtures auto-remove
CAUTION Utils, helpers, internal modules auto-remove + prompt
WARNING Components, services, hooks tests pass first
DANGER Auth, database, config, API routes require --force

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.

code-cleanup is a skill published in the GitHub repository changoo89/claude-pilot (20 stars, last pushed 6mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 31 tokens to every session and 1,456 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.
