FAQPage Schema

How do I create AI subagents for specialized tasks in Cursor?▼

You can create isolated AI subagents in Cursor by defining a YAML frontmatter with name and description, writing a system prompt body, and configuring optional script, reference, or asset directories to handle specialized tasks like code review or debugging.

What are project-level and user-level subagents for AI workflows?▼

Project-level and user-level subagents are isolated AI configurations with customized prompts. Project-level subagents are version-controlled for team consistency, while user-level subagents preserve the main conversation state across individual workflows.

How do I route tasks to the appropriate AI subagent?▼

You route tasks to the appropriate AI subagent by defining clear delegation rules within the subagent configuration. This isolates domain-specific contexts, such as routing debugging tasks to a debugger subagent while preserving the main conversation state.

Does this subagent management workflow require specific dependencies or components?▼

No specific dependencies or components are required. The subagent management workflow relies on a YAML frontmatter structure combined with a system prompt body and optional directories to build isolated AI assistants within Cursor.

Can I share and version-control AI subagents across projects?▼

Yes, you can share and version-control AI subagents across projects. Defining project-level subagents with tailored prompts promotes consistency across teams and enables reusable configurations for domain-specific assistants within Cursor.

When should I build isolated AI subagents instead of using the main conversation?▼

Build isolated AI subagents when you need dedicated assistants for specialized tasks like code reviewing or debugging. This preserves the main conversation state and enables reusable, domain-specific prompt configurations across projects.
