OpenCode can already spawn background subagents, but I just opened a PR letting you send synchronous tasks to the background. But more interestingly, this video was recorded + edited by 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚍𝚎 running 𝚘𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚘𝚍𝚎 with 𝚝𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚒𝚗𝚊𝚕-𝚌𝚘𝚗𝚝𝚛𝚘𝚕.

![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.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1958991610798383165/amplify_video_thumb/1958991559543988224/img/0BuyN1k2zaJJDA7t.jpg)
