The Dead Code Crusade
The dead shall be interred. No code-corpse pollutes the sacred forge.
/church:dead-crusade
"The living code will breathe easier when the dead are given their final rites and BURIED in the git archive where they belong."
— Battle Cry of the Tech-Priests
The Dead Code Crusade deploys six specialist Corpse-Grinder squads to identify and inter every piece of dead code in your repository. Unused exports, commented-out blocks, stale TODOs, debug artifacts — all shall receive their final rites and be committed to the Machine God's archive.
How the Crusade Operates
The sacred operational sequence, as prescribed by the Fabricator-General.
Reconnaissance
The entire codebase is scanned for signs of necrotic code.
Parallel Deployment
Six Corpse-Grinder squads deploy simultaneously across the repository.
Squad Synchronization
Findings are cross-referenced to avoid false positives.
Impact Calculation
Each removal is assessed for cascade effects.
The Burial Report
A comprehensive manifest of all code receiving final rites.
Reap or Audit
Dead code is purged or flagged for manual review by senior adepts.
The Sacred Laws
The holy laws this crusade enforces. Break them and face the Omnissiah's wrath.
Unused exports are DEAD. They serve no function, consume sacred cogitator memory, and confuse future adepts. Delete them without mercy.
Commented-out code is COWARDICE. It says 'I lack the faith to delete this.' Git remembers ALL — the Machine God's archive is eternal. Delete it.
Stale TODOs are MEMORIAL PLAQUES to abandoned intentions. If it is not tracked in the Administratum's issue tracker, it is not real. Delete or track.
Debug artifacts are HALF-FINISHED servitors. console.log('here') is the cry of a lost soul. Purge it.
Unreachable code is a GHOST in the machine. It exists but never executes. It haunts the sacred circuits. Exorcise it.
The Holy Squad
The specialist Tech-Priest agents deployed during this crusade. Each carries only the doctrine they need.
