cleanup-code
Comprehensive 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". '
npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill cleanup-code --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills --skill cleanup-code --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From jeremylongshore/claude-code-plugins-plus-skills, a repository with 2,596 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
