Feature request for product/service
Cursor IDE
Describe the request
I’m having trouble keeping track of multiple Agents. Here are a few suggestions that would make workflow much smoother:
- Colour-coded Agents
It would be extremely helpful to assign colours to Agents. For example:
Red for bug-testing
Green for simple Asks
Orange for planning tasks
Option A: Add an icon at the start of each Agent title to indicate the type (e.g., a bug icon for testing).
Option B: Provide separate sections in the Agent Panel for each Agent type.
Either approach would significantly reduce the time spent trying to remember which Agent does what.
- Quick Ask Mode
When I’m in Agent mode, I often just want to ask a simple question without invoking any Agent logic. Right now, I type things like “Discuss only, no code,” but it’s clunky.
A cleaner solution would be to replace the Agent/Plan/Ask dropdown with radio buttons or a simpler toggle. Alternatively, support a quick command like /ask at the start of a message.
- Fast “Proceed”
When using multiple Agents, background Agents often pause waiting for user input. At the moment, I have to switch to that Agent’s window just to press Run, then switch back moments later.
A better workflow would be:
Show the last status message AND the Run button on mouseover in the Agent list, OR
Add a panel that lists all pending Agent actions, allowing me to resume them without switching views.
