Install with the CLI

In a terminal, from the folder you want:

npx --yes palatekit@latest install dead-code-removal-audit

With no option, the skill goes to ~/.agents/skills/; add --agent claude-code (or codex, cursor…) to target an agent.

First time: connect the CLI with

npx --yes palatekit@latest login

The agent inventories the code and finds dead code, orphaned files, unused exports and duplicates left behind by refactoring. It sorts its findings by level of certainty and removes only what you approve. You get a cleanup report.
