Fallow is a Rust-native static analysis tool for TypeScript and JavaScript that detects dead code, duplicate logic, and complex functions in AI-generated codebases. It runs via npx with no configuration required, produces reports covering dead code, duplication, and code health/complexity metrics, and integrates with AI agents through JSON output, an MCP server, and AI skills for Claude, Cursor, and Copilot. It can also be added as a CI/CD quality gate via GitHub Actions. The article walks through setting up Fallow, interpreting each section of its report, configuring false-positive suppression, and wiring it into AI-assisted development workflows.
