Plan Mode: Was "build using a new agent" removed?

Feature request for product/service

Cursor IDE

Describe the request

Hey! When using planning mode on Cursor it was possible to plan and then select to build in a new agent, which would start a new fresh context window to implement.

I can’t find it in Cursor IDE and Glass, was it removed? Why?

Hi @Waldemar_Neto 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”

Like this?

Yeah! That’s interesting, it doesn’t appear. What version of Cursor are you on?
