Owner

Context

A code review found several zero-byte skeleton files left behind from earlier refactors. They currently do not provide functionality and only add noise to IDE navigation and project structure.

This is a good first collaboration issue because it should be small, easy to review, and low risk.

Files to inspect

Potential dead skeleton files:

src/rgb_aura/config.py
src/rgb_aura/devices.py
src/rgb_aura/openrgb_client.py
src/rgb_aura/animations/aurora.py
src/rgb_aura/animations/patterns.py

Scope

Confirm these files are truly unused.
Remove files that are empty and not imported anywhere.
If any file is imported or expected by package structure, either keep it or replace it with a meaningful minimal implementation/comment.
Run tests/checks after cleanup.

Acceptance criteria

Empty unused skeleton files are removed.
No imports break.
ruff format passes.
ruff check passes.
Existing tests pass.
PR explains which files were removed and why.

Branch workflow

Base branch:

develop

Suggested work branch:

fix/issue-44-remove-dead-skeleton-files

Pull request target:

develop

Do not merge directly into main. main should only receive tested release-ready changes from develop.
