Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Claude has now release agent swarm to split up a feature development into multiple tasks, check dependency on other tasks and use sub agents to not fill up the context window.

I believe this workflow improves the quality at least 3X if not 10X

Hey, thanks for the feature request. Subagents are actually already available in Cursor 2.4:

What’s already working:

  • Parallel subagents: you can run multiple agents at the same time on different parts of the codebase
  • Built-in subagents (Explore, Bash, Browser): they’re used automatically for context-heavy tasks
  • Custom subagents: you can create your own with specific prompts and configs
  • Foreground and background modes: for sequential or parallel execution

Try the current setup and share your feedback in the main thread. It’ll help us prioritize future improvements.

As Dean mentioned, subagents are what you are looking for. I personally created a skill for planning an implementation, which results in a plan that accounts for parallel implementation. Then I have a skill for the parallel implementation, which splits all work across ~6 agents. I could do more, but I think this is more than necessary.
