Cursor can now work autonomously over longer horizons to complete larger, more complex tasks. Long-running agents plan first and finish more difficult work without human intervention.
In research preview and internal testing, long-running agents completed work that was previously too hard for regular agents. This led to larger, more complete PRs with fewer obvious follow-ups.
Cursor's long-running agent is now available at cursor.com/agents for Ultra, Teams, and Enterprise plans.
Agents are solving increasingly complex, long-running tasks across your codebase. This release introduces new agent harness improvements for better context management, as well as many quality-of-life fixes in the editor and CLI.
Subagents are independent agents specialized to handle discrete parts of a parent agent's task. They run in parallel, use their own context, and can be configured with custom prompts, tool access, and models.
The result is faster overall execution, more focused context in your main conversation, and specialized expertise for each subtask.
Cursor includes default subagents for researching your codebase, running terminal commands, and executing parallel work streams. These will automatically start improving the quality of your agent conversations in the editor and the Cursor CLI.
Optionally, you can define custom subagents. Learn more in our docs.
Cursor now supports Agent Skills in the editor and CLI. Agents can discover and apply skills when domain-specific knowledge and workflows are relevant. You can also invoke a skill using the slash command menu.
Define skills in SKILL.md files, which can include custom commands, scripts, and instructions for specializing the agent’s capabilities based on the task at hand.
Compared to always-on, declarative rules, skills are better for dynamic context discovery and procedural “how-to” instructions. This gives agents more flexibility while keeping context focused.
Generate images directly from Cursor's agent. Describe the image in text or upload a reference to guide the underlying image generation model (Google Nano Banana Pro).
Images are returned as an inline preview and saved to your project's assets/ folder by default. This is useful for creating UI mockups, product assets, and visualizing architecture diagrams.
On the Enterprise plan, Cursor Blame extends traditional git blame with AI attribution, so you can see exactly what was AI-generated versus human-written.
When reviewing or revisiting code, each line links to a summary of the conversation that produced it, giving you the context and reasoning behind the change.
Cursor Blame distinguishes between code from Tab completions, agent runs (broken down by model), and human edits. It also lets you track AI usage patterns across your team's codebase.
The interactive Q&A tool used by agents in Plan and Debug mode now lets agents ask clarifying questions in any conversation.
While waiting for your response, the agent can continue reading files, making edits, or running commands, then incorporate your answer as soon as it arrives.
You can also build custom subagents and skills that use this tool by instructing them to "use the ask question tool."
Push your local conversation to a Cloud Agent and let it keep running while you're away. Prepend & to any message to send it to the cloud, then pick it back up on web or mobile at cursor.com/agents.
Connect Cursor to external tools and data sources with a new login flow supporting automatic callback handling. The agent gets access to authenticated MCPs immediately.
Use /mcp list for an updated interactive MCP menu to browse, enable, and configure MCP servers at a glance.
For this holiday release, we've focused entirely on fixing bugs and improving stability.
This includes the core agent, layout controls, viewing code diffs, and more. We will be slowly rolling these updates out over the week, ensuring there are no regressions during your holiday coding.
It's now easier to customize your default layout across workspaces.
We've included four default layouts: agent, editor, zen, and browser. You can use Command (⌘) + Option (⌥) + Tab (⇥) to switch between layouts, or easily jump between different workspaces. Additionally, you can move backwards in this list by including Shift (⇧), similar to macOS.
