Allow adding multiple repos to a new agent

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Current Limitation: When starting a new agent in the interface, the context is currently limited to a single repository.

Proposed Improvement: Enable the ability to select and add multiple repositories to the same agent conversation.

Why this is needed:
Many projects are split across several repos (e.g., frontend, backend, and shared libraries). Being able to reference all relevant codebases in one chat would allow for reviewing changes across all repos within the same conversation. Currently, the agent can run on a different codebase than the one it started on, but the changes remain invisible to the user. We have to manually switch context just to see what happened.

It’s already possible in the new Agents Window interface.
