Cursor 3.2 ships /multitask, worktrees, and multi-root workspaces
Cursor 3.2 introduces a /multitask command that spawns parallel async subagents, expands worktrees in the Agents Window, and adds multi-root workspaces.
Cursor 3.2 ships three structural changes worth noting:
/multitaskcommand — spawns asynchronous subagents in parallel rather than serializing them in a queue- Worktrees in the Agents Window — isolated background work across branches
- Multi-root workspaces — a single agent session can target a workspace spanning multiple folders/repos
Practitioner note
This is the most concrete shift yet of an AI IDE from “single agent + chat” to “parallel agent execution runtime” — the same architectural direction Anthropic (Claude Code’s Agent tool with parallel dispatching) and GitHub (Copilot cloud agents) are pushing.
If you’re choosing between Cursor and Claude Code for new work in 2026, the differentiator is increasingly the surrounding harness (parallel agents, hooks, skills) rather than the underlying model. Both vendors are converging on the same primitives at roughly the same speed; pick the one whose UX matches how you work.
