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](https://cursor.com/docs/cloud-agent)

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](https://forum.cursor.com/t/this-might-help-some-folks-with-complex-workflows-how-to-use-cursor-agent-and-or-claude-code-sdk-from-inside-cursor-ide/147954)

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.
