Cursor Agents
Repository Pattern
Store agent configs in agents/ directory, symlink to activate:
agents/
├── code-reviewer.md
├── test-writer.md
└── refactor-agent.md
# Activate in target project:
ln -s /path/to/agents/code-reviewer.md .cursor/agents/code-reviewer.mdAgent Capabilities
- Run up to 8 agents in parallel on a single prompt
- Each agent operates in isolated codebase copy (git worktrees or remote)
- Cloud agents: 99.9% reliability, instant startup
Agent Modes
| Mode | Description |
|---|---|
| Normal | Standard agent with confirmations |
| YOLO | Auto-approve actions (use with caution) |
| Cloud | Run agents on Cursor's infrastructure |
Workflow
- Create agent config in
agents/<name>.md - Symlink to project's
.cursor/agents/to activate - Remove symlink to deactivate (config remains in repo)
CLI Commands
/models # List available models
/rules # Manage rules
/mcp # Manage MCP serversCombine with rules/ for consistent agent behavior across projects.
