- The Cursor Agent Surface
- Tab, Composer, agent mode and background agents compared
- The agents view as a single place to see local, cloud and remote work
- Model selection per task and what changes when you switch
- Usage pools and credit consumption: what actually burns budget
- Choosing the lightest surface that solves the problem in front of you
- Agent Mode in Depth
- How the agent reads the codebase, plans and iterates toward a result
- Terminal execution, test runs and self-correction loops
- Approving, interrupting and redirecting a run in progress
- Diff review discipline before anything lands
- Hands-on: deliver a multi-file feature end to end in agent mode
- Writing Delegations That Complete
- Intent, scope and explicit stop conditions in a delegation
- Defining success criteria the agent can check for itself
- Decomposing large work into units an agent can finish
- Diagnosing a run that produced unusable output and correcting the brief
- Hands-on: rewrite a failed delegation until it succeeds
- Rules and Persistent Context
- Project rules as the mechanism for encoding team standards
- Agent instruction files and how they layer with rules
- Scoping rules to directories, file types and specific work
- Keeping rules short enough that the important parts still land
- Hands-on: author rules for your own repository and test the effect
- Background and Cloud Agents
- Sending work off-machine to run in an isolated sandbox
- What background agents can and cannot reach
- Receiving output as a pull request rather than a working directory
- Deciding what is worth delegating asynchronously
- Hands-on: dispatch a background agent and review what comes back
- Parallel Agents and Git Worktrees
- Running multiple agents on separate parts of a codebase simultaneously
- Git worktrees for isolation and why they prevent most collisions
- Splitting work so parallel agents do not fight over the same files
- Merge strategy and handling conflicting agent output
- Review throughput as the real constraint on parallelism
- Extending Cursor with MCP
- Model Context Protocol fundamentals in a Cursor context
- Connecting internal APIs, documentation and databases
- Credential handling, scoping and least privilege
- Interactive MCP surfaces inside agent conversations
- Hands-on: connect an MCP server and complete a task through it
- Automations and Event-Triggered Agents
- Triggering agents from issue trackers, chat, version control and webhooks
- Designing always-on automations that do not create noise
- Guardrails, approval steps and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
- Monitoring automated agents and catching silent failure
- Knowing when an automation is costing more than it saves

Why this course
- Orchestration, not autocomplete: Run several agents across a codebase instead of driving one suggestion at a time.
- Work that continues without you: Background and event-triggered agents that produce reviewable output while you do something else.
- Context that persists: Rules and project instructions so every agent run follows your team's standards.
- Honest about the ceiling: Clear on where parallelism helps and where review load becomes the real bottleneck.
Training objectives
- Distinguish Tab, Composer, agent mode and background agents, and choose between them
- Operate the agent loop including terminal execution, guardrails and steering
- Write delegations with clear intent, scope and stop conditions
- Encode persistent context using project rules and agent instruction files
- Run background and cloud agents and review the pull requests they produce
- Execute parallel agents across git worktrees without collisions
- Extend Cursor with MCP servers connected to internal systems
- Configure event-triggered automations with appropriate guardrails
Who will benefit
- Software developers already using AI coding tools
- Tech leads and engineering managers
- Platform and DevOps engineers
- Architects evaluating agentic development at team scale
