# dead-code

> Find unreachable functions using static analysis

Uploads the repository to the Supermodel API and runs multi-phase dead code analysis including call graph reachability, entry point detection, and transitive propagation. Results include confidence levels (high/medium/low), line numbers, and explanations for why each function was flagged.

**Aliases:** `dc`

## Synopsis

```bash theme={null}
supermodel dead-code [path] [flags]
```

## Flags

| Flag               | Description                                              |
| ------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------- |
| `--min-confidence` | Minimum confidence: `high`, `medium`, or `low`           |
| `--limit`          | Maximum number of candidates to return                   |
| `--ignore`         | Glob pattern to exclude (repeatable, supports `**`)      |
| `--timeout`        | Maximum seconds to wait (default `7200`, `0` = no limit) |
| `--force`          | Re-analyze even if a cached result exists                |
| `-o, --output`     | Output format: `human` \| `json`                         |
| `-h, --help`       | Help for dead-code                                       |

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
# High-confidence candidates only
supermodel dead-code --min-confidence high

# Top 20 results, JSON output
supermodel dead-code --limit 20 -o json

# Skip vendored and generated code
supermodel dead-code --ignore '**/vendor/**' --ignore '**/*_pb.go'
```
