fallow

fallow is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fallow-rs/fallow-skills. It costs 114 tokens per session (8,427 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A codebase analysis tool for TypeScript and JavaScript projects. It examines code, styles, dependencies, architecture, and—when enabled—runtime coverage, which shows what code actually runs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find unused files and exports, repeated or overly complex code, dependency cycles, boundary violations, styling drift, dead CSS, feature-flag problems, and similar code.
Why use it?
It helps reveal cleanup work and maintenance risks that are easy to miss during ordinary feature development, such as duplication, circular dependencies, stale flags, and unused 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.

Security

Grade A, and why

fallow 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 today.

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.

Fallow: codebase intelligence for TypeScript and JavaScript

Fallow analyzes code and styles for changed-code risk, cleanup opportunities, circular dependencies, duplication, complexity hotspots, architecture boundary violations, design-system styling drift, feature flags, and opt-in security candidates. Runtime coverage merges production execution data into the same fallow health report for hot-path review and cold-path deletion confidence. A single local capture is available by default. Continuous or cloud runtime monitoring is optional.

When to Use

  • Find cleanup opportunities: unused files, exports, types, members, dependencies, or feature flags that guard unused exports.
  • Detect code duplication, circular dependencies, architecture boundary issues, and complexity hotspots.
  • Find functions that may implement the same intent despite different names, syntax, or control flow (fallow similar-code).
  • Check styling consistency, CSS dead surface, and design-token drift.
  • Audit changed code before a commit, PR, release, or refactor.
  • Set up CI quality gates, duplication thresholds, and regression baselines.
  • Auto-fix supported unused exports and dependencies after --dry-run.
  • Investigate why a specific export, dependency, file, or issue type was reported.
  • Surface local security candidates for an agent to verify (fallow security).
  • Find untested but runtime-reachable code (fallow health --coverage-gaps).
  • Rank complexity hotspots, owners, and refactoring targets (fallow health --hotspots --ownership --targets).
  • Review what fallow has surfaced over time (fallow impact).
  • Confirm exact TypeScript symbol use, affected tests, API leaks, or public type coupling when syntactic evidence is insufficient (--type-aware).

When NOT to Use

  • Runtime error analysis or debugging
  • Type checking (use tsc for that). Type-aware fallow consumes checker evidence for project-wide analysis but does not report compiler diagnostics.
  • Linting style or formatting issues (use ESLint, Biome, Prettier)
  • Verified security vulnerability scanning or SAST. fallow security surfaces local, deterministic security candidates for a downstream agent to verify; it does not prove exploitability. Use Snyk, CodeQL, or Semgrep for verified scanning, and an SCA tool for dependency CVEs.
  • Bundle size analysis
  • Projects that are not JavaScript or TypeScript

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.
