SummaryAI, from the source post

This post introduces Agentic Pipelines as a new capability for automating feature flag cleanup. It details a two-part workflow: a dispatcher (Rovo Studio Automation rule) that finds stale flag-cleanup tickets in Jira and triggers a coding agent pipeline, and the coding agent itself which searches the codebase, inlines final behavior, removes dead code, runs checks, and opens a pull request. The post highlights the importance of a 'skill' file for domain logic, verification before code changes, and gating PRs with checks. It also discusses lessons learned and potential applications for other maintenance tasks.
