What it does

Unreachable Subsystems is an agent skill from calimero-network/core. Finds code that compiles, lints clean and is referenced, but that nothing can actually reach — dead islands whose items reference each other while the outermost edge points at a route, command, or registration that does not exist. Use when auditing for vestigial subsystems, superseded models left in place, endpoints with no server route, CLI commands that 404, or scenario files registered in no CI matrix. Complements dead-code-cleanup, which handles compiler-visible orphans.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Linting and formatting. The repository describes itself as: Calimero - Peer-to-peer application platform with local-first governance, CRDT state sync, and WASM execution.

When your agent uses it

  • Auditing for vestigial subsystems
  • Superseded models left in place
  • Endpoints with no server route
  • CLI commands that 404

Example prompts

  • “Use the unreachable-subsystems skill to find code that compiles, lints clean and is referenced, but that nothing can actually reach — dead islands…”
  • “/unreachable-subsystems”

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Response/request types in crates/server/primitives/src/admin/mod.rs with
  2. calimero-client methods whose URL string does not appear server-side.
  3. meroctl/merod subcommands whose client call is one of the above.
  4. merobox scenario files not registered in any .github/workflows/*.yml
  5. Types superseded by a newer model where the old one was left in place
  6. Feature-gated code where the feature is enabled nowhere.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 64f9209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • cargo

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Unreachable Subsystems loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 126 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,029 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~126
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,029 words (~1,922 tokens).

“Find code that compiles, lints clean, and is referenced — but that nothing can actually reach. Not unused imports or orphan functions: the compiler already catches those, and the dead-code-cleanup skill already covers them. You are looking for the class…”

When should I use Unreachable Subsystems?

Unreachable Subsystems fits situations like: auditing for vestigial subsystems; superseded models left in place; endpoints with no server route; CLI commands that 404.

How do I install Unreachable Subsystems in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add calimero-network/core --skill unreachable-subsystems -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (.cursor/skills/unreachable-subsystems in calimero-network/core) into .claude/skills/unreachable-subsystems in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.

Can I use Unreachable Subsystems in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?

Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add calimero-network/core --skill unreachable-subsystems -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/unreachable-subsystems, .gemini/skills/unreachable-subsystems, .github/skills/unreachable-subsystems and .opencode/skills/unreachable-subsystems in your project.

What does Unreachable Subsystems need to run?

Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Unreachable Subsystems needs the command-line tools its instructions call (cargo).

Does Unreachable Subsystems access the network?

SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.

Is Unreachable Subsystems safe to install?
