Let a coordinator agent split up a coding project

A developer describes Projects in Cursor, where a coordinator agent hands out work and context to sub agents. The developer no longer has to decide when to spin up new agents. The coordinator watches fresh pull requests in production, monitors bugs and starts agents that fix them on its own. It reports as it goes and raises questions with a recommendation. The post shows no numbers or code, only one person's experience from one big project.

A developer describes Projects in Cursor, where a coordinator agent hands out work and context to sub agents. The developer no longer has to decide when to spin up new agents. The coordinator watches fresh pull requests in production, monitors bugs and starts agents that fix them on its own. It reports as it goes and raises questions with a recommendation. The post shows no numbers or code, only one person's experience from one big project.

How to do it

  1. Paste the prompt into the tool, and replace the text in brackets with your own.
  2. Read the answer through. Do not send, delete or publish anything until you have seen it yourself.
  3. Check the original before you trust a figure, a name or a date.

Try it with Cursor

You are the coordinator for [project] in [repo]. Split the goal [description] into tasks and give each sub agent only the context it needs. Watch new pull requests and bugs in [monitoring tool], and start an agent for each bug you find. Show me the plan and which agents you will start before work begins. You are done when every task is merged or waiting for me with a question and a recommendation.

Replace text in brackets with your own.

  • Add a new feature from a screenshot with an arrow

    A developer showed his wife a list app he has built and asked whether she would change anything. She wanted a way to create a new list from the items that were not ticked off. He wrote the request to the agent in Cursor and attached a screenshot with an arrow showing where the button should go. Minutes later the change was in, and seconds later it was live. He writes that there is still more to do.

  • Build your own markdown viewer that opens instantly

    A developer on Hacker News asked Claude Code to build a markdown viewer for macOS, from the same codebase as the JSON viewer he already had. He asked for it to open fast. He now says it opens and displays a file faster than any other app he uses on macOS. He offers it as an example that you can build small personal programs yourself, but he shows no measurements of the speed.
