Allow sending live instructions to Agent while it is running

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Feature request:

Please add a way to send extra instructions to the Agent while it is actively running, without interrupting or stopping the current task.

Example:
The Agent is already working, and I want to send a quick message such as:

  • keep backward compatibility
  • don’t touch database migrations
  • prioritize the dashboard first

The ideal behavior:
the Agent keeps running, receives the new instruction, and takes it into account as part of the current job.

This would make Agent mode much better for long tasks, because sometimes the user realizes an important detail after the run has already started.

A few possible implementations:

-Add note to current run
-Live instruction update
-Queue message for running Agent

This would save time, reduce restarts, and make the workflow feel much more natural.

Operating System (if it applies)

Windows 10/11
