PR Review, Build Plan in Parallel, and Split PRs

May 7, 2026
Cursor/Cursor EditorIDE

This release introduces a new PR review experience, faster execution on plans through parallel agents, and new quick-action pills for common workflows.

#PR review

A new PR review experience is now available in Cursor 3. Take PRs from creation to merge all in one place.

  • The Reviews tab now shows inline review threads and top-level PR comments.
  • The Commits tab gives you a focused view of commit history for the PR.
  • The Changes tab makes it easier to navigate larger PRs with a file tree and changes picker.

You can see useful context like reviewer status and pending review banners, and quick action pills allow you to take next steps faster.

#Build in parallel from plans

Cursor can now execute on plans faster by multitasking across tasks instead of tackling them one at a time.

Click "Build in Parallel" to have it identify independent parts of your plan and run them simultaneously using async subagents. Cursor will keep dependent steps in order when needed.

#Split changes into PRs

When multitasking in Cursor, you can now use a built-in quick action to split changes into PRs.

It will use chat context to identify logical slices, default to independent PRs unless dependencies are required, create a backup snapshot, and propose a split plan for your approval.

#Pin skills as quick actions

You can now pin your most commonly used skills as quick-action pills for faster access.

Improvements (6)

  • Added the ability to control Explore subagent behavior from settings: choose a specific model for Explore subagents to run on, inherit the same model as the parent agent, or disable Explore subagents altogether.
  • Added support for general model names for subagent configuration (i.e., set model: opus to have subagents always use the newest Opus model).
  • /multitask is now available in the editor for running async subagents to parallelize your requests instead of adding them to the queue.
  • Improved prompt input undo grouping, so undo/redo feels more natural during edits.
  • Improved long-chat handling and reduced jumpiness and other surprising behaviors.
  • Made MCP connection behavior more predictable, and added explicit stale token cleanup on re-auth.

Bug Fixes (5)

  • Fixed terminal interaction bugs in the agents window, including editing shortcut issues and approval/overlay edge cases.
  • Fixed several slash menu and input-approval regressions.
  • Fixed MCP auth edge cases, including transient 401 handling and stale credential behavior.
  • Fixed multi-repo environment selection and cache issues.
  • Fixed various cloud agent timing and hydration edge cases that could degrade reliability.
