Getting it into your agent
This one installs as part of its plugin. Adding the marketplace and installing the plugin brings it with everything else the plugin ships.

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 | $0.00076 | $0.01420 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.00710 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00284 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00142 |
Grade A, and why
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 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.

Rossum Dead Code Analysis
Path or context: $ARGUMENTS
The Iron Rule
Every finding in the report MUST come from detect.py output. No freestanding claims. No subagent narratives. No "I think there are about N of these."
An earlier version of this skill let a subagent do freeform analysis and it invented "56 orphan formulas" with fabricated filenames. The script below exists to make that class of hallucination impossible. If you catch yourself writing a count that isn't in the script output, stop and re-run.
Workflow
-
Source selection.
- Local prd2 env dir (
hooks/,workspaces/, optionallyrules/,labels/,engines/) → use it. Prefer the most complete env (usually DEV / sandbox). - Check staleness with
git status. If dirty or obviously old, ask the user toprd2 pullfirst. - No local tree → ask the user whether to pull via
mcp__plugin_rossum-sa_rossum-api__*read-only tools into a temporary dir mirroring the prd2 layout, then run the script against that.
- Local prd2 env dir (
-
Run the detector and show the output:
python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/dead-code/detect.py <env_dir>Output is markdown. Present it verbatim (or lightly framed). Don't re-paraphrase findings as aggregate prose — names are what's actionable.
-
Verify label candidates against the API. The script's "Label candidates" section lists labels with no rule references, but labels can also be applied manually by users — so rule-unreferenced ≠ dead. For each candidate, call
rossum_search_annotationswithlabels=<id>andmax_results=1:- 0 annotations → the label really is unused. Keep the finding, mark it as confirmed.
- ≥1 annotations → the label is in manual use. Remove it from the report and note the annotation count.
Do this before presenting. If the MCP is not connected, say so and leave the label section marked "unverified — run
rossum_set_tokenand re-check". -
Spot-check at least 2 other findings on disk before presenting. Examples:
- Orphan hook: open the JSON and confirm
queues: []. - Unused engine:
rg "engines/<id>" <env>/workspaces/returns 0 hits. - Dead rule: open the JSON and confirm
enabled: falseorqueues: [].
- Orphan hook: open the JSON and confirm
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.

dead-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository rossumai/claude-marketplace (5 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 1,420 once invoked, about $0.0004 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 2026-08-31.
