Cursor Projects
Cursor's coordinator-and-subagent system that runs long, multi-week engineering work like migrations to completion via a single /goal.
Overview
On September 10, 2026, Cursor launched Projects (beta): a non-coding coordinator agent plans and delegates work to implementer subagents running in parallel on isolated cloud VMs, sharing context across the effort. The /goal command hands the agent a long-lived objective, such as fixing all flaky tests and making CI green, pursued until complete; cloud agents keep running with the laptop closed. On October 16, 2026 Cursor added Cloud Agent Canvases, interactive canvases cloud agents build and share with teammates by link, and an Environments API in beta for creating and managing cloud agent environments programmatically, with environments supporting up to 300 repositories and large ones loading 5x faster.
This is a sourced directory entry. Features and capabilities are reported in the linked sources; this entry does not document independent Aymorphic testing.
