Cursor adds dedicated subagents for skills

Delegating skills to subagents solves the context-bloat problem that plagues long-running AI coding sessions. By sandboxing heavy research and terminal execution, Cursor ensures developers don't lose the thread of their primary conversation.

• –Offloading repetitive tasks like deep codebase searches prevents intermediate logs from cluttering the main context window
• –Background execution enables parallel workstreams, allowing the primary agent to continue drafting code while a subagent researches dependencies
• –The move bridges the gap between static project rules and dynamic, multi-step agentic workflows
