Individual skill
test-guided-debloating
Removes unnecessary code from a repository while preserving exactly the behavior exercised by a given test suite. Use this skill when you need to debloat, slim down, or remove unused code from a codebase based on test coverage. The skill analyzes which code elements (files, classes, functions, methods, branches, imports) are exercised by tests, identifies unreachable or unused code, and safely removes it while ensuring all tests continue to pass. Triggers when users ask to remove unused code, debloat based on tests, eliminate dead code guided by test coverage, or slim down a repository to only test-required functionality.

# Test-Guided Debloating
Remove unnecessary code from a repository while preserving exactly the behavior exercised by a given test suite.
## Workflow
### 1. Understand Requirements
**Inputs needed**:
- Target repository path
- Test command to run the test suite
- Programming language/framework
**Clarify scope**:
