Devin adds a cleanup scan type and can run scans on a schedule

Your move: New /scan command, plus grouping sessions by PR status or repo

On September 2, 2026, Cognition added a cleanup scan type to Devin that finds dead code and cleanup opportunities in your repositories, startable directly from the composer with a new `/scan` command. Automations now support scheduling these scans to run on a recurring basis or automatically re-scan new commits, and the scan findings tab was redesigned for easier triage. The session sidebar also gained new grouping (by pull request status or by repository) and filtering by Devin mode.

Why it matters

If you already use Devin Desktop, scheduled cleanup scans are a low-effort way to keep dead code out of a repository without someone remembering to ask for it. Not urgent to act on if you're not already a Devin user.
