Use for token-expensive operations requiring multi-file analysis - codebase exploration, broad searches, architecture understanding, tracing flows, finding implementations across files. Uses MCP cursor-agent server (company pays) with clean async interface. Do NOT use for single-file analysis, explaining code already in immediate context, or pure reasoning tasks.

Trigger immediately when you see: - "Find where X is..." → cursor-agent - "How does X work?" (multi-file) → cursor-agent - "Trace the flow of..." → cursor-agent - Manual approach needs 3+ file reads → cursor-agent
