SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Subagents enable teams to run specialized AI tasks in isolated contexts, preserving main conversation state while enabling focused behavior, reuse across projects, and easier collaboration through shared prompts and workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Define project- and user-level subagents by adding Markdown files with YAML frontmatter to specify purpose, scope, and behavior.
  • Place the system prompt in the body of the file to enforce consistent prompts, with clear usage guidelines and examples.
  • Facilitate reuse and sharing across codebases and teams by leveraging version-controlled subagents and a standardized creation workflow.

Quick Start

Create a new subagent by adding a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter under the appropriate agents directory and define the system prompt in the body.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create subagents for Cursor workflows to handle specialized AI tasks?▼

To create subagents for Cursor workflows, you add a Markdown file with YAML frontmatter to your project or user agents directory, placing the system prompt in the body to establish a specialized AI task.

What are subagents in Cursor used for?▼

Subagents in Cursor are used to run specialized AI tasks in isolated contexts, preserving main conversation state while enabling focused behavior for dedicated contexts like code review, debugging, or domain-specific assistants.

How do I share custom AI prompts for code review with my team using version control?▼

You can share custom AI prompts by creating subagent Markdown files with YAML frontmatter and checking them into version control, allowing your team to reuse and collaborate through standardized creation workflows.

What fields are required when defining a Cursor subagent Markdown file?▼

Defining a Cursor subagent Markdown file requires the name and description fields in the YAML frontmatter, while the system prompt must be placed in the body of the file to enforce consistent behavior.

Can I use subagents to isolate debugging contexts without losing my main conversation state?▼

Yes, you can use subagents to isolate debugging contexts because they run specialized AI tasks independently, which preserves your main conversation state while enabling focused behavior for the debugging process.
