Unlike standard linters (like Vulture or Bandit) that struggle with dynamic Python patterns, Skylos uses a hybrid engine (AST + optional Local/Cloud LLM). This allows it to:

1. Eliminate False Positives: Distinguishes between truly dead code and framework magic (e.g., pytest.fixture, FastAPI routes).
2. Verify via Runtime: Optional --trace mode validates findings against actual runtime execution.
3. Find Logic Bugs: Goes beyond linting to find deep logic errors that regex-based tools miss.

🚀 New to Skylos? Start with CI/CD Integration

# Generate a GitHub Actions workflow in 30 seconds
skylos cicd init

# Commit and push to activate
git add .github/workflows/skylos.yml && git push

What you get:

• Automatic dead code detection on every PR
• Security vulnerability scanning (SQLi, secrets, dangerous patterns)
• Quality gate that fails builds on critical issues
• Inline PR review comments with file:line links
• GitHub Annotations visible in the "Files Changed" tab

No configuration needed - works out of the box with sensible defaults. See CI/CD section for customization.
