absolute-prune
From the author
Dead code and dependency cleanup, repo-wide: unused deps, unreferenced exports, unreachable code, orphaned files — removed only with tool evidence, in reversible waves. Runs on green main. For diff-scoped cleanup use absolute-simplify. Triggers on "absolute prune", "remove dead code", "find unused deps/exports", "what can we delete", "clean up orphaned files".

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- absolute-simplifymaddhruv/absoluteUse when the user wants to simplify, clean up, refactor, tidy, or refine code — their staged/unstaged git changes or a target file/path. Reduces complexity, flattens nesting, removes redundancy and dead code, scores each change by value (holding low-value churn), then runs tests to prove nothing broke. Invoke on: "simplify", "simplify this", "simplify my code/changes", "clean up", "clean this up", "clean up my changes", "refactor this", "make this cleaner", "tidy this up", "reduce complexity", "flatten this", "remove dead code", "make it more readable", "polish before commit", or "absolute simplify". Acts on your working diff; for repo-wide dead code use absolute-prune; for lint/type debt use absolute-debt.Testing★ 223
- absolute-upgrademaddhruv/absoluteDependency upgrades: outdated/vulnerable deps planned into semver waves (patch/minor batched, majors gated and changelog-read), applied incrementally with lockfiles regenerated and tests green after each. Runs on green main. Triggers on "absolute upgrade", "upgrade our dependencies", "bump deps", "update packages", "move off the deprecated X", "clear the Dependabot backlog".Security★ 223
- fuck-over-engineeringvinta/hal-9000Use when the user asks what could be deleted or reduced to simplify a codebase, says "simplify", "over-engineered", or wants a repo-, folder-, or file-wide audit for over-engineering — hunts dead code, reinvented stdlib, needless dependencies, and single-implementation abstractions, reports ranked cuts, applies only the picks. Not a diff review and not a bug huntEngineering★ 141
- cleanup-codejeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplaceComprehensive codebase cleanup across 11 quality dimensions: dead code, duplication, weak types, circular deps, defensive cruft, legacy code, AI slop, type consolidation, security, performance, and async patterns. Analyzes code with confidence scoring and verifies changes with build/test gates. Use when codebase has accumulated tech debt, after major feature work, before releases, or when code quality metrics are declining. Trigger with "/cleanup-code-code", "clean up the codebase", "remove dead code", "fix code quality".Engineering★ 2.9K
