Use /goal to give the agent a long-lived objective to work towards until it's fully complete.

Subagents can now run on their own virtual machines, each with an isolated copy of the project.
Have them test the parent agent's changes in a fresh environment, or swarm independent fixes.
Use any skill as a Custom Mode: a skill that stays pinned in the chat. You can think about it like always-on skills.
From /, pick a skill and press ⌥⏎ (Mac) or Alt+Enter (Windows), or choose Use as Mode.
Cursor can now monitor your PRs, watch a Slack thread, or run scheduled tasks. Cloud agents automatically subscribe to PRs they create and drive them to completion.
We're continuing to improve cloud agents in Cursor.
They pick up work from events, hold a goal until it's met, and stay on course through long sessions.
We're making Git hosting more reliable, performant, and scalable.
This post traces 20 years of Git infrastructure and explains how that history led us to design and operate our Git storage, Origin, as if it were a database.

Origin, our code hosting platform, is now live.
It's fast, easy to use, and deeply integrated with Cursor.
Get started by syncing your repos from GitHub.
Cursor is now part of @SpaceX.
Today, we have officially closed our acquisition. We will join the @SpaceXAI team to help make Grok the world's most useful AI and improve Grok Build, Grok Bot, Grok API, Cursor, and more.
SpaceX has built some of the most inspiring and
We’re excited to welcome the Firetiger team to Cursor!
Together, we're building agents that can follow their work into production and fix what goes wrong.

Customers like Faire, Headway, and Descript are seeing agent start times drop from minutes to seconds with builds and increasingly trusting cloud agents to execute tasks end-to-end autonomously.

Builds also make agents more resilient and easier to debug.
When a new build fails, it never goes live. Agents keep working from the last successful build while you debug in the background.
Cloud agents now start 3x faster so you can hand them ambitious, long-running tasks to execute from start to finish.
This performance improvement comes from builds: ready-to-use development environments that Cursor prepares continuously in the background, at no additional cost.
