Multi-repository background agent mode

Feature request for product/service

Background Agent (GitHub, Slack, Linear,…)

Describe the request

Hello team,

My workspace spans three repositories, which Agent Mode handles fine. However, the background agent keeps asking me to pick a single Git repo, making it difficult to work across multiple repos (e.g. frontend and backend) simultaneously.

Would love to know if we have such a feature being addressed!

I second this, it would be very useful if background agents could work on workspaces.

In addition to this, spawning a background agent from a multi-repo workspace from within Cursor doesn’t let me change the selected repository, only the branch. So even if I do have a background task that’s contained to one repository, I have to open a separate Cursor window with only that repository to start the background agent.
