Coordinate sub-agents to monitor PRs and fix prod bugs

Workflow
Suggested implementation: Use Cursor's Projects feature to establish a coordinator agent that delegates tasks to sub-agents acting as engineers or PMs. The coordinator monitors production PRs and bugs, autonomously spawning sub-agents to resolve issues while maintaining project context. The human role involves reviewing the coordinator's updates and answering surfaced questions with recommendations, ensuring alignment with the big picture.
Reported result
The source author reports that the coordinator agent demonstrates an 'ownership mentality,' effectively understanding intent and reducing context rot. However, no quantitative metrics on bug resolution time, code quality, or cost savings are provided. A measurable acceptance check would be to track the percentage of PRs resolved by sub-agents without human intervention over a two-week sprint.
Human role
The original post does not say how a person stayed involved.
Limitations
Prerequisites include access to Cursor's Projects feature and a connected codebase. The source is a secondary social media post, so reliability of specific performance claims is unverified. Integration uncertainty exists regarding how the coordinator handles complex architectural decisions versus simple bug fixes. Human approval is required for all surfaced questions and final merges.
Try it
Act as a DevOps engineer setting up an automated PR monitoring workflow using Cursor. I have a repository [replaceable: repo_url] and want to configure a coordinator agent to watch for new PRs and production bugs. First, perform a dry run on [replaceable: sample_pr_id] to demonstrate how the coordinator delegates to a sub-agent for a fix. Show me the proposed code changes and the coordinator's reasoning before applying anything. If the dry run is successful, outline the steps to enable autonomous monitoring for [replaceable: target_branch]. Ensure you pause and ask for my confirmation before merging any changes or spending tokens on large-scale refactoring. If the coordinator fails to identify the bug, report the error and suggest manual intervention steps.
