Code revision cleanup tool

Build a tool that automatically cleans up abandoned code experiments. Target development teams with many prototypes.

Why now

Codebases accumulate dead-end experiments that create technical debt and confusion.

Who for
Software development teams
Business model
Team licenses
Effort
A few weeks

Developers waste time navigating through abandoned code paths. A cleanup tool could identify and remove unreferenced experimental branches.

Create a CLI tool that analyzes commit history to find and optionally remove orphaned code.

Sell to engineering teams through site licenses.

Start with basic unused code detection.

The biggest risk is false positives removing actually-needed code.
