FAQPage Schema
How do I create modular AI subagents for specialized tasks?▼

To create modular AI subagents, you define a new agent file with YAML frontmatter containing the name and description, then write an actionable system prompt in the body to specify its task behavior.

What is the difference between project-level and user-level AI subagents?▼

Project-level AI subagents are stored in the .cursor/agents directory for team sharing, while user-level subagents are stored in ~/.cursor/agents for personal reuse across multiple projects.

How do I configure YAML frontmatter for AI subagents?▼

You configure YAML frontmatter for AI subagents by including required name and description fields at the top of the file, which defines the agent's identity and scope before the system prompt body.

Can I share AI subagents across different projects?▼

Yes, you can share AI subagents across different projects by placing them in the user-level ~/.cursor/agents directory, making them globally available for your personal development environment.

What should be included in the system prompt body of a subagent?▼

The system prompt body of a subagent should include a descriptive and actionable prompt that directs the AI's behavior, ensuring consistent task specialization and clear delegation guidelines.

Do I need any dependencies to set up AI subagents?▼

No external dependencies are required to set up AI subagents, as the process relies on writing standard YAML frontmatter and system prompt text within agent files stored in the correct directory.
