# Clean up dead code
Work **only** the area the current prompt is about: files named, the diff just made, the thing being discussed. Don't sweep the repo.
1. **Read the ask** to fix the scope. State in one line what's in bounds.
2. **Find the dead**: unreachable branches, unused exports/params/props, orphaned files, commented-out blocks, stale comments describing code that no longer exists, config for features that shipped or died.
3. **Prove it before deleting.** Grep every symbol and file path you plan to remove, across the whole repo, not just the module: imports, re-exports, dynamic/string references, tests, config, docs, other languages. A thing with one live callsite is not dead. If you can't prove it's unused, leave it and say why.
4. **Condense the comments.** A comment describes the code as it is *now*: short, present tense, one line where one line does. Cut anything that narrates history instead of state: "was X, now Y", "changed to fix…", "previously handled by…", "keeping this for now", dates, PR/ticket numbers, before/after rationale. Git already has that. Cut restated code (`// increment i`) and stale text describing behavior that moved. Keep the non-obvious *why* (an invariant, a workaround for a real upstream bug, a load-bearing ordering constraint), trimmed to its point.
5. **Delete, don't rewrite.** Removing is in scope; refactoring behavior is not. If something reads badly but is live, note it and move on.
6. Run the lint/test/typecheck gate for what you
