Cursor in Slack: plans before work, multi-repo environments, cross-channel workflows
Cursor in Slack now shares a plan before starting work, can launch in a named multi-repo environment spanning separate repos, and can read from and send messages to other Slack channels and threads during a task. Slack UI has been refined with compact footer links, cleaner tables, PRs, and artifacts.
