Cursor shipped major cloud-agent enhancements including persistent /goal objectives, isolated VM sandboxes for parallel subagent execution, and automated event-driven PR resolution.

Key Takeaways

  • New `/goal` directive maintains persistent multi-step objectives until task completion across long sessions;
  • Subagents execute inside isolated VM sandboxes with clean project copies for parallel test runs and bugfixes;
  • Event-driven triggers enable agents to listen to GitHub PRs or Slack messages and autonomously drive PRs to merge.
