How this relates to “subagents”

Cursor does not expose user-defined nested sub-sub-agents in skill files. What you can do in practice:

• Phased work: Treat each phase below as a distinct pass (gather → structure → write → verify). That mimics routing without a separate UI.
• Built-in delegation: If the host agent can launch a Task / explore subagent, use a read-only explore pass for large or unfamiliar codebases before drafting, then do research and writing in follow-up steps. Do not assume that tool exists; use it only when present.
• Online research: Use web search (and official docs links from results) for anything version-sensitive or external—see “Research protocol”.

Research protocol (online)

Run web research before asserting facts about:

• Library/framework APIs, CLI flags, config keys, breaking changes, deprecations
• Install commands, system requirements, LTS/support timelines
• Security or compliance claims (cite sources; avoid unsourced absolutes)
