## What it is
ts-prune is a zero-configuration CLI tool that finds potentially unused exports in TypeScript projects. It is now in maintenance mode, with knip recommended for new projects.

## Use cases
- find unused exports in a typescript project
- clean up dead code from my codebase
- reduce bundle size by removing unused exports
- detect exports that are never imported
- audit typescript codebase for dead code in CI

## When to choose
- you have an existing TypeScript project already using ts-prune
- you want a fast, zero-config dead export detector
- you only need critical fixes and stability rather than new features

## When to avoid
- starting a new project - use knip instead
- you need advanced features like unused files, dependencies, or monorepo support
- your project is not TypeScript/JavaScript

## Facets
- artifact type: cli-tool
- maturity: maintenance

- domain: developer-tools, version-control
