Plan mode should 'Build' in a subagent or new chat

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

When you click build on a plan, it builds in the chat that you are currently in by default. This is not good if you have been using your current chat to refine the plan, where there could be a lot of unnecessary context for building the plan. Instead, when you click ‘build’ on a plan, ideally it should build within your current chat, but in a subagent rather than in the main chat, so that you can continue to have a conversation about the plan in the chat, rather than on the implementation.

There should at least be a “Build in new chat” option for cases where you know the context is polluted with dead ends.

Any update on this or maybe a workaround?

Hi @argarcia-ottersoft

This still exists! It’s kind of a hidden feature, so here’s how to find it. You need to make sure that you select at least one of the to-dos and you’re in the .md plan mode dynamic view rather than the raw markdown. After you select at least one of the to-dos, you can press “Build in New Agent”
