Unused Code Cleanup FAQs

Question 1

What specific capabilities does it provide?

Accepted Answer

The skill provides automated detection via TypeScript flags, impact-based prioritization, structured cleanup strategies for hooks and state, and integration guidance for ESLint and pre-commit automation.

Question 2

When should I use this skill?

Accepted Answer

Use this skill after major refactorings, when removing features, or before a production release to optimize your bundle size. It is also highly effective during routine code quality reviews to keep the codebase maintainable.

Question 3

How does this skill improve my development workflow?
