Cursor's June Drops: /in-cloud Cloud Subagents, /babysit for Autonomous PR Iteration, and Natural-Language Automations

TL;DR: Cursor 3.7 shipped cloud subagents and autonomous PR babysitting; 3.8 added natural-language Automation creation and computer use — features buried under the SpaceX deal headlines last week.

The SpaceX acquisition dominated coverage. Two releases the same week added agentic features worth knowing regardless of who owns the company.

Version 3.7 (June 17) — /in-cloud and /babysit

/in-cloud spins an isolated cloud subagent for long-running tasks — large refactors, test generation sweeps — so you can hand it off and close your laptop. The subagent works independently and returns results without tying up your local session.

/babysit is a quick-action that hands a PR to a cloud agent: it reads CI failures, makes fixes, and re-pushes until the PR is merge-ready or it gets stuck. No local session needed, no CI tab to watch.

Version 3.8 (June 18) — /automate and computer use

Cursor Automations (always-on cloud agents triggered by external events) existed before. What's new: the /automate skill creates one from a plain-English description — Cursor configures the trigger (Slack, GitHub, Linear, PagerDuty, or webhook), instructions, and tools. Five new GitHub event triggers and Slack emoji reactions were added. Computer use for cloud agents also shipped, letting automations interact with a browser to produce demos or artifacts.

Why it matters: /babysit-style autonomous PR iteration and event-driven always-on agents are where every coding tool is heading. Understanding the pattern — even if Claude Code is your daily driver — is worthwhile.
