Introducing Projects in Cursor
By Steven Van ·
A persistent coordinator agent now runs a project for months in the cloud, delegating to subagents and acting on Slack, schedules, or PRs unprompted.
Cursor's Projects replaces the usual one-chat-per-task setup with a persistent coordinator agent that oversees a whole body of work, such as a feature, a migration, or a full app, over months rather than a single session.
- The coordinator delegates to subagents instead of writing code itself, so it stays responsive rather than blocked on a task.
- Projects run in the cloud by default and keep going after you close your laptop; the coordinator spins up a local agent when something needs testing on your machine.
- Each Project keeps a set of context files that sync across every cloud and local machine it uses, so agents don't need re-onboarding for each new task.
- Coordinators can watch a Slack channel, run on a schedule, or follow a repo's pull requests, fixing CI or acting on merges without being prompted.
Cursor says early users merge 30% more pull requests, and users who primarily work through Projects merge six times as many.
