Dead Code Detection
Find unused functions and dead code using TLDR static analysis.
Quick Start
# Scan entire project
tldr dead .
# Scan specific directory
tldr dead src/
# Specify entry points (functions to exclude from analysis)
tldr dead . --entry main cli test_
# Specify language
tldr dead . --lang python
tldr dead . --lang typescriptOutput Format
Dead code analysis:
Total functions: 150
Dead functions: 12
Unused functions:
- old_helper (src/utils.py:42)
- deprecated_func (src/legacy.py:15)
- _unused_method (src/api.py:230)Cross-Platform
Works on Windows, Mac, and Linux (including WSL).
# Windows (PowerShell)
tldr dead .
# Mac/Linux
tldr dead .Entry Points
Functions matching entry patterns are excluded from dead code analysis:
- main, cli - Application entry points
- test, test - Test functions
- setup, teardown - Fixtures
- @app.route, @api.endpoint - Framework handlers
# Custom entry points
tldr dead src/ --entry main api_handler background_jobIntegration
This skill replaces the session-start-dead-code hook with on-demand analysis.
