Hey, thanks for the feature request. There isn’t a built-in way to open the Agents Window separately without the IDE right now. The deeplinks docs at [deeplinks](https://cursor.com/docs/reference/deeplinks) include schemes for prompt, rule, and command, but not for launching the Agents Window itself.

I’ll pass this along to the team as UX feedback. I can’t promise an ETA, but I’ll leave it here for voting. The more users support it, the better the chance it makes it into the backlog.
