From conserve
Detects codebase bloat via progressive analysis tiers covering dead code, duplication, complexity, doc bloat, AI-generated patterns, dependencies, and git history. For maintenance, refactoring prep, and pre-release cleanup.

- [Bloat Categories](#bloat-categories)
Diagnoses repo rot prioritizing dead code (HIGH/MEDIUM/LOW confidence), god files, hotspots, hardcoded paths, stale TODOs, lopsided imports. Language-agnostic pure diagnosis.
Detects technical debt including duplicated code, dead imports, security vulnerabilities, and complexity hotspots using parallel subagents. Run /techdebt at session end, before commits, or code reviews.
Detects dead code, unused exports, orphaned files, circular dependencies, unused packages, stale TODOs, and hygiene issues across 11 categories. Use scan, safe, aggressive modes on full codebase or paths.

Systematically detect and eliminate codebase bloat through progressive analysis tiers.
| Category | Examples |
|---|---|
| Code | Dead code, God classes, Lava flow, duplication |
| AI-Generated | Tab-completion bloat, vibe coding, hallucinated deps |
| Documentation | Redundancy, verbosity, stale content, slop |
| Dependencies | Unused imports, dependency bloat, phantom packages |
| Git History | Stale files, low-churn code, massive single commits |
/bloat-scan
Detects: Large files, stale code, old TODOs, commented blocks, basic duplication
/bloat-scan --level 2 --focus code # or docs, deps
Adds: Static analysis (Vulture/Knip), git churn hotspots, doc similarity
/bloat-scan --level 3 --report audit.md
Adds: Cross-file redundancy, dependency graphs, readability metrics
| Do | Don't |
|---|---|
| Context usage > 30% | Active feature development |
| Quarterly maintenance | Time-sensitive bugs |
| Pre-release cleanup | Codebase < 1000 lines |
| Before major refactoring | Tools unavailable (Tier 2/3) |
| Level | Confidence | Action |
|---|---|---|
| HIGH | 90-100% | Safe to remove |
| MEDIUM | 70-89% | Review first |
| LOW | 50-69% | Investigate |
