Agent Profiles to jumpstart conversations with context & model settings

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

I want to define custom agents that come with pre-defined, already added context, as well as model settings and enabled/disabled MAX mode.

Usage examples:

I often work with ComplexClassOne and Two and ComplexComponentOne. So I create an agent named Sally that will always have those added as context as soon as I start a chat with that agent.

I sometimes use Auto, but some other times, I want to switch to GPT 5 @ max mode. This mode, I’d like to map to Agent Charlie.

Click Agent > Add custom mode…

You can pick the model and max mode. Under advanced you can set instructions.

I used this to make an agent that builds git commit commands for me to modify and run in the shell tool.

[Edit:] I would love it if the mode-builder-UI for this was put somewhere in settings with more space to work with. It is a nice feature but packed in to a complicated and small space to navigate.

Hey @RafeSacks :slight_smile: Click “Agent” where? The dropdown list? It has not “Add custom mode…”.

Can you name the agent and reuse it at will from the dropdown list here?

Hey, you need to enable this in Cursor settings on the Chat tab.

Oops, I forgot it was an opt-in beta feature. Thanks @deanrie for picking up the slack!
