Cursor Adds `/goal` for Long-Lived Objectives That Run Until the Condition Is Met
Cursor Changelog·high signal
The 2026-08-19 Cursor release introduces a `/goal` command that holds an agent on a durable objective instead of a single turn, with Cursor's own example being "/goal fix all flaky tests and make CI green". The agent keeps working until the goal is satisfied rather than stopping at the end of a response. This is the commercial version of the loop-until-dry pattern people have been hand-rolling with SubagentStop hooks and re-feed scripts.
