Cursor: cloud agents with subscriptions, custom modes, isolated subagent VMs, and /goal
Cursor cloud agents can now subscribe to event sources (PRs, Slack threads, scheduled triggers) and drive work to completion autonomously. Custom modes lock a skill as the agent's persistent context. Subagents run on isolated virtual machines with clean project copies. The /goal command gives agents long-lived objectives. Steering follow-ups no longer interrupt the current tool call.
