Does this stop you from using Cursor

Sometimes - I can sometimes use Cursor

Can be caused by poteto plugin somehow, because I see on problematic sub-agent on the top following:

You are implementing against a synthesized design. Read /Users/<omitted>/.cursor/plugins/cache/cursor-public/pstack/7314f723a487ec406b6369fe5865ba034cfed166/skills/poteto-mode/SKILL.md Principles + Comments first.

Hey @Mejo, thanks for flagging this. You’re right that a blocked subagent only shows “Waiting for subagent” and the Allow prompt is easy to miss when a lot of subagents run at once. That’s not intended, and it’s an issue we’re tracking.

To catch it in the meantime: in the Agents Window sidebar, group by Status - the Needs Attention section lists every agent/subagent blocked on you across all workspaces. You can also turn on System Notifications and Completion Sound under Cursor Settings → General for an alert when one needs you.

I’ll post here if there’s an update.
