Pro tip: run dedicated cleanup agents to keep AI-generated tech debt in check

Arpit Bhayani shares a practical workflow: agents write code fast and accumulate clutter just as fast — dead code, near-duplicate helpers, unused imports, stale flags. His fix is running narrow-purpose cleanup agents with three rules: keep each agent to one job (dead code / duplicates / docs), keep changes small as single focused PRs, and let the test suite plus human review be the gate. He warns the last point matters most: agents calling dead code they believe is live is riskier than deleting it.
