devpilot-dead-code-cleanuplisted

Use when the user wants to find and remove dead code, unused exports, unreachable functions, or unused symbols in a Go or TypeScript repository — "clean up dead code", "remove unused functions", "find unused exports", "prune dead code", "what's unreferenced", "/dead-code". Do NOT use for unused-dependency cleanup only, formatting cleanup, or refactoring of live code.

# Dead Code Cleanup (Go & TypeScript) ## Overview A detector's report is a **candidate list, not a hit list**. Every finding must be cross-checked against the language's escape hatches (reflection, dynamic dispatch, public API, generated code, build tags) before deletion. Remove in leaves-first order, with build + test between clusters, one cluster per commit. ## When to Use - "Clean up dead code in this repo" - "Find unused functions / exports / types" - "What can I delete safely?" - Pre-release cleanup or post-feature-removal sweep **Don't use for:** dependency-only cleanup (run `go mod tidy` / `knip --dependencies`), refactoring live code, or eyeball deletions without a detector. ## Workflow ```dot digraph dead_code { "Run detector" [shape=box]; "Filter false positives" [shape=box]; "Remove one cluster (leaves first)" [shape=box]; "Build + test passes?"
