Description
Deadpath finds dead code in your repo unused exports, orphan files, unreachable functions, and dependencies that nothing imports—then puts that scan where your coding agents work: Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. Most “AI dead code” tools ask a model to guess what looks unused. Agents then rewrite around the same dead files week after week. Deadpath flips that. The core scanner is deterministic. It builds a reference graph from the codebase and reports high-confidence findings with evidence.

Could you build this?
Partial Building an MCP server or UI is simple, but reliable dead code elimination requires deep multi-language AST parsing and cross-module static analysis without false positives.
What it would actually take: A production version requires building static analysis engines using compiler toolchains (such as Rust-based SWC, Tree-sitter, or TypeScript compiler APIs) to construct complete dependency graphs across multiple languages and framework conventions (like Next.js dynamic routing or dependency injection). Handling circular references, dynamic imports, and exported barrels without breaking builds requires deep compiler and static analysis engineering.

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a observability & eval tool for Media & entertainment yet.
