    TLDR

    Cursor posted that its cloud agents now monitor PRs they create, watch Slack threads, and run scheduled tasks. Agents pick up work from events, hold a goal until met, and operate through long sessions. A new /goal command lets users assign persistent objectives. The company described the changes as part of ongoing improvements to its cloud agents and harness so agents can build and ship software with less intervention. A separate post from a Decagon employee noted higher usage of the agents at that company.

    @cursor_aiWe're continuing to improve cloud agents in Cursor. They pick up work from events, hold a goal until it's met, and stay on course through long sessions.
    @rohan__sanjayour cloud agent usage at decagon is up 6x over the past 3 months. cloud agents are quickly becoming the default way our team works because: - they scale beyond a single laptop: each agent gets its own isolated sandbox (no worktrees) so there’s no local resource contention - you can spawn swarms from anywhere (web, slack, linear): designers and PMs are shipping - they can run for hours, spin up all services, and put up PRs with screenshots/videos but if verification isn't trustworthy, you just multiply slop. the bottleneck isn’t model intelligence, it’s the environment setup and verification. to verify effectively, you need to: - give it the same tools an engineer has locally (same stack, MCPs, context) - create a framework (like @poteto's pstack) that encodes how the agent should create/test its changes and ship artifacts you can review without reconstructing the session the horizon of work you can give agents is much longer - cloud agents can pretty much ship while you sleep. probably the highest leverage thing an eng team can invest in right now.
    @soleioRT @cursor_ai: Use /goal to give the agent a long-lived objective to work towards until it's fully complete. Read the full changelog: http…
