Cursor improved cloud agents so they pick up work from events and hold a goal until it is met. /goal sets a long-lived objective, subagents can run on isolated VMs with their own project copies, and cloud agents auto-subscribe to PRs they open and drive them to completion.

Key Takeaways

  • ✓/goal gives the agent a long-lived objective to pursue until the work is actually complete
  • ✓Subagents can run on their own VMs with isolated project copies for tests or parallel fixes
  • ✓Cloud agents auto-subscribe to PRs they create and can watch Slack threads or scheduled jobs to the end
