play this game to see how many terminal commands you can safely approve in 30 seconds. try to beat auto review, it's harder than you think!

cursor can now more accurately answer questions about itself and guide you through various features and capabilities! under the hood, it'll spawn a subagent to fetch the latest docs and updates

cursor 1.7 is out, and there are a lot of exciting features in this one! i'm particularly excited about hooks that will allow you to build analytics, security, auto commit and much more. go to our docs and ask the agent to build the hook you want, it has all the context!

subagents are just recursive agents where you can apply different prompts + models depending on the task. since they’re just a primitive, Cursor cli can actually spawn subagents by calling cursor-agent in headless mode via shell commands. that’s what makes the cli so nice. you can extend it, experiment, and have a lot of fun exploring orchestration patterns. here’s one way to do it w. dynamic model selection: 1. create a subagents.mdc rule 2. drop in: ``` --- alwaysApply: true --- ALWAYS spawn subagents by running `cursor-agent -p [task] --output-format=text --force --model [model]` in the terminal. Each subagent should return a summary of the changes it made. Subagents should be used for ALL tasks You can adopt a fan-out pattern where you spawn subagents to perform parallel isolated tasks, and then fan-in the results. Use the following models: - `--model gpt-5` for reasoning, researching, and planning - `--model sonnet-4` for implementation ``` 3. start cursor cli and try it out you can also adjust the rule to be more explicit when it should use subagents, when not to, which models when etc.

in 0.50, Cursor got a lot more efficient working with long files agent can now search & replace which allows for surgical edits making it much faster, around 2x in this example

we're releasing background agent in preview that will allow you to run multiple agents in parallel on a remote vm at any point, you can view the status, send a follow-up, or take over

cursor design mode + remotion is actually insane everything in remotion is code, so you can annotate changes directly on the video and cursor just updates it. having a lot of fun with this here's 15 minutes of me improving the agent swarm video

here's me using design mode in cursor for 10 minutes to build out a new page on our website the starting point is from a one-shot cloud agent that i pulled down locally to iterate. after polish, i send it up to cloud again and let another agent QA it for me so its prod ready

i ran cursor agent for 24 hours continuously this weekend the task was to "build a project management tool". i was surprised the application completely works obviously this isn't production ready, but the future is exciting

3 years ago i could never have believed we'd gotten this far. being able to generate 4 plans in parallel with different models, then selecting the best one (or merging them), and sending up to the cloud where this is coded automatically. definitely feels like the future

i've experimented with a fan out pattern from plan mode to parallel agent. spend a lot of time upfront refining the plan, then hand off to background 1. generate plan 2. ask cursor to break down plan to isolated, independent tasks 3. spawn background agents using MCP server

a look at how we use MCP to streamline writing docs at Cursor. create a linear issue, run a workflow defined by rules and let cursor write a draft we're hiring btw. if you'd like to help me build this send me a dm

working with cloud agents in cursor feels the same as local, but the fact that i can shut down my computer and still have it running is amazing. one of my favorite use cases is planning in cursor, then send off to cloud agent for impl. here's a short demo

using tools, Cursor Agent have the capability to reason about when it should - read & write code - search your codebase - call MCP servers - run terminal commands an example where it connects to a postgres database, runs a query and writes to file
