FAQPage Schema
How do I create a custom subagent in Cursor for code review?

To create a custom subagent in Cursor, you need to define a YAML frontmatter file specifying the 'name' and 'description' fields to configure domain-specific assistants.

Can I isolate context and reuse subagent configurations across different projects?

Yes, specialized subagents support context isolation and allow you to reuse custom configuration files across multiple projects to maintain consistent AI behavior.

What is the best way to set up a domain-specific assistant for debugging?

The best way to set up a domain-specific assistant is to run the create-subagent command and define custom system prompts tailored for your specific debugging workflows.

Do I need YAML to configure task-specific agents in Cursor?

Yes, configuring task-specific agents requires creating YAML frontmatter files with specific 'name' and 'description' fields to properly define the subagent properties.

What types of specialized AI tasks can I build with custom subagents?

You can build custom subagents for specialized AI tasks including code reviewers, debuggers, data analysis workflows, and domain-specific assistants with custom prompts.

Why should I use domain-specific assistants instead of default AI tasks?

Domain-specific assistants allow you to isolate contexts, specify custom system prompts, and define precise behavior guidelines, providing more accurate results than default configurations.
