Tip: This skill runs in a forked context for unbiased analysis - clean slate, no conversation history bias.

|
+-- STRUCTURAL AGENT --> dead exports, orphaned files, unused imports
+-- CIRCULAR DEP AGENT --> import cycle detection
+-- DEPENDENCY AGENT --> unused npm packages, overengineered deps
+-- GENERATIVE AGENT --> comments, console.log, copy-paste, TODOs
+-- TRIAGE AGENT --> confidence scoring, safety filtering, tiering

Expected format: /nuke [mode] [path]
| Mode | Command | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Scan | /nuke or /nuke scan | Report only - touch nothing (default) |
| This | /nuke this <file> | Single file analysis |
| Safe | /nuke safe | Report HIGH confidence only (>90%) |
| Aggressive | /nuke aggressive | Report MEDIUM+ confidence (>70%) |
Append a path to any mode to limit scope:
/nuke scan src/api/ - only scan src/api//nuke this src/utils/auth.ts - single file/nuke # Full scan, report only
/nuke scan # Same as above
/nuke this src/utils/auth.ts # Single file analysis
/nuke scan src/api/ # Scan specific directory
/nuke safe # High-confidence findings only
/nuke aggressive # Medium+ confidence findings
Follow the orchestration detailed in references/nuke-pipeline.md:
matrix_index_status), detect entry points from package.json, parse modematrix_find_dead_code for dead exports + orphaned filesmatrix_find_circular_deps for import cyclesGrepreferences/output-format.mdEarly exit for /nuke this: Only run Structural + Generative agents on that single file. Skip dependency and circular dep analysis.
Graceful degradation: If index is unavailable, fall back to Grep-based analysis. Report reduced accuracy.

Finds and safely removes unused exports, dead files, orphaned dependencies, and stale constraints. Use after refactoring or as periodic hygiene.
Analyzes JavaScript/TypeScript codebases for unused code (files/exports/types/deps), duplication, circular dependencies, complexity hotspots, architecture violations, and feature flags via static (free) and optional runtime layers.
