Cursor IDE
Describe the request
Problem
I use the Agents Window as my primary / master view while working across multiple projects (each with its own workspace — typically 3 at once). The agent generates useful progress reports and documentation (AsciiDoc, sometimes Markdown) under build/ or similar paths.
Today I cannot read those documents formatted inside the Agents Window. AsciiDoc has no preview at all; Markdown preview is inconsistent or buggy. I only see raw source text.
That forces me to switch back to the classic Editor Window, open the right workspace, and use editor extensions (e.g. Asciidoctor preview) just to read what the agent produced. That context switch costs focus and time — especially when the whole point of Agents Window is to stay in one place.
Expected behavior
- Open
.adoc/.mdfiles in the Agents Window with readable formatted preview (side preview like ⌘⇧V in the editor, or embedded preview tab). - At minimum: parity with VS Code Markdown preview + Asciidoctor extension for
.adoc. - Ideally: preview works for agent-generated reports without leaving Agents Window.
Use case
Multi-workspace workflow:
- Agent generates
build/pr-review/*.adoc(status report, review checklist, etc.) - I want to review it immediately in the same window where I’m orchestrating agents
- Currently blocked → fallback to Editor Window per project
Why it matters
Agents Window is positioned as the new primary surface. Document review is a core part of agent-assisted work (plans, PR summaries, quality reports). Without formatted docs, Agents Window is incomplete as a “master view.”
Environment
- macOS
- Cursor with Agents Window
- Multiple workspaces open (multi-project)
- AsciiDoc via
asciidoctor.asciidoctor-vscodein classic editor (works there, not in Agents)

- Extension support in Agents Window is limited
- Forum login is separate from Cursor IDE account (confusing UX)
