What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a standardized mechanism to create Cursor-specific AI subagents with isolated context for complex, multi-step workflows. It ensures subagents follow Cursor's conventions and live under the project's .cursor/agents/ directory, enabling safer, repeatable delegation.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Template-driven subagent creation: Enforces a consistent frontmatter, prompt structure, and file layout for Cursor subagents.
  • Location and naming discipline: Encourages placement in the correct project path and descriptive, kebab-case naming.
  • Pattern guidance: Offers best practices for subagent prompts, output formats, and context isolation.
  • Use Case: When teams need to create multiple specialized subagents for Cursor editor workflows with consistent behavior and lifecycle management.

Quick Start

Create a new subagent file at .cursor/agents/your-subagent-name.md following the SKILL.md frontmatter. Include a frontmatter block with name and description, then the subagent prompt and guidance inside the body.
