Their sample prompt takes me back a year or two:

> Find unused code in our web app. Exclude generated files and test fixtures, and check for indirect references before recommending a removal.

If I "/goal remove unused code" in Claude today, I would not even think to specify "check for indirect references" and "don't consider generated code dead code," those sorts of intuitions have been "built in" to the frontier models for a while now.

So I'm pretty confused by this, what does it do that I can't with an agent swarm?

Yep, we've been doing this "agenticly" at my job for a while now. I can't say the results are often impressive, particularly if you underspecify what you actually want.

> Improve SEO

> Reduce maintenance overhead

> Make your application compile faster

> Find unused code in our web app. Exclude generated files and test fixtures, and check for indirect references before recommending a removal.

If someone came to me with these requirements, I would laugh in their face. These reek of busy work with no actual business benefit. Have these people actually built real software before?

just another prompt right?
