Hand a long task off to a Cloud Agent

worktrees & cloud

// what it does

Prepend & to any message in a session to push that task to a Cloud Agent that keeps running in Cursor's infrastructure while you step away. Pick the work back up on web or mobile at cursor.com/agents. Good for long-running or parallel jobs you do not want tied to your terminal.

// shell

$ & refactor the auth module and add comprehensive tests

// gotcha

The & is a message prefix inside a session, not a CLI flag — the parameters reference has no --cloud option, so cursor-agent --cloud is not a thing; type the & at the start of your prompt instead.
