[blog] Agent of the Day – 2026-09-07

[github-actions]

Summary

Adds today's Agent of the Day blog post, spotlighting the Dead Code Removal Agent — a scheduled workflow that runs Go's deadcode static analyzer against ./cmd/... and ./internal/tools/... and opens small, self-documenting pull requests removing unreachable functions and their orphaned tests.

Why this workflow

Recent run history (via agenticworkflows logs) showed a realistic mix: 3 of the last 5 scheduled runs failed with agent-logic errors, while 2 succeeded cleanly — a good example of an agent that skips ambiguous cases rather than force risky deletions.

Evidence used

• Run #204 (Sept 6, 2026, success, 19.2m, 19,398 tokens) → PR #58996 "5 functions removed", merged by @pelikhan.
• Prior similar PRs: #58822, #55418, #54835.
• Cross-agent interaction: PR Sous Chef workflow commented on the same PR, illustrating gh-aw's multi-agent ecosystem.
