Cursor Subagent Creator
If you're working in Cursor and need to break down complex workflows into specialized AI assistants, this creates properly structured subagents that follow Cursor's conventions. It walks you through the full setup: frontmatter config, when to use foreground vs background execution, how to write focused prompts, and where to save files in `.cursor/agents/`. The source includes solid patterns for verifiers, debuggers, and security auditors. Worth noting it's opinionated about keeping subagents focused on single responsibilities rather than trying to make them do everything. The skill itself is basically a guided workflow for spinning up new agents with the right structure, which beats hunting through Cursor docs every time.
