### Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

### Describe the request

There are nearly 0 good reasons to start a new Build in the same Agent window. Expecially if its 95% context and full of junk and red herrings. It degrades the quality of the code. And there is currently no obvious way to run it in a new Agent. This is a glaring omission for a $40 billion evaluation product!

Please dear god listen to all of your other threads requesting this, and add a button “Build Plan In New Agent” urgently!

edit: No, “Build in parallel” does not reset the conversation or the context.

Hi @Luke_Poga Sorry for the delay on getting back to you. We actually do have this feature already although it’s pretty hidden so you might not find it unless you’re looking for it. Here’s how to access it. From the IDE, create a plan and then open the plan details (make sure you’re seeing it in the rich plan mode not the raw markdown. If needed, run **Markdown Plan Editor: Toggle Editor Mode** or press `Cmd+Shift+V`.

Then, select at least 1 ToDo and then press Build in New Agent. This feature is only available in IDE view right now, we have a backlog item to build this for the Agents view, and I’ll let you know any updates to that.
