[Feature Request] Auto-trigger Sub-agents via Skills (e.g., background docs update after deploy)

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hi everyone! Huge Cursor fanboy and Ultra subscriber here. :rocket:

I’ve been playing around with the new Skills and Sub-agents features and I have a suggestion that would take the automation to the next level.

The Current Limitation: Currently, it isn’t possible to set an automatic trigger for a sub-agent to start a task immediately after a Skill finishes. It still requires a manual call or prompt to “invoke” the agent.

My Use Case: I have a “full-deploy” skill that performs a complex workflow:

Runs the build and fixes potential errors.

Checks for Edge Function updates and deploys them.

Verifies database changes and runs migrations via MCP.

The Suggestion: I’d love the ability to automatically trigger a sub-agent in the background as a “post-action” once the Skill finishes.

For example: After my “full-deploy” skill is successful, it would automatically trigger a sub-agent to:

Update the code documentation.

Refresh the README.md.

Update relevant HTML/static files.

Having this “Post-Skill Trigger” would make the workflow truly autonomous, saving us from having to manually prompt the agent for the same repetitive follow-up tasks every time.

What do you guys think? Would this “chaining” of agents and skills be useful for your workflows too?

Thanks for the amazing tool! :smiley:
