Create agent from agent (Feature request)

Ideas Feature Requests
2

Hey, thanks for the request! The ability to create agents from agents for parallel work is a commonly requested feature.

Right now, there are a few ways to handle parallel tasks:

  1. Cloud Agents: run multiple async agents in the cloud at the same time: Cloud Agents | Cursor Docs

  2. Multiple chat tabs: manually open several agent tabs (Cmd/Ctrl + L a few times) and run different tasks in each one

  3. Cursor-agent CLI: for advanced workflows, you can orchestrate things programmatically via the Python SDK. Here’s a detailed guide with examples of hierarchical orchestration: This might help some folks with complex workflows: How to Use Cursor-Agent (and/or Claude-Code-SDK) from Inside Cursor IDE

Automatically creating agents from within an agent (where the agent delegates tasks to new agents on its own) isn’t available yet, but I’ll pass your feedback to the team.
