What is Skylos?
Skylos is a static analysis tool that detects dead code, security vulnerabilities, hardcoded secrets, and code quality issues across Python, TypeScript, and Go. It uses framework-aware analysis to understand Django, Flask, FastAPI, Pydantic, and other frameworks — reducing false positives compared to tools like Vulture.
We benchmarked ourselves across 9 popular open-source repos (requests, flask, fastapi, pydantic, rich, click, starlette, httpx, tqdm) with 98.1% recall.
Available as a CLI (pip install skylos), VS Code extension, GitHub Action, and MCP server for AI coding assistants like Claude and Cursor.
