When to split Cursor projects? Devs debate multi-project vs one big project

vinvan · x · 2026-10-04

vinvan asks @poteto how he decides when to create a new Cursor project — the latter runs 10 parallel projects, and van wonders why not one big project to avoid routing overhead. He floats the idea of a persistent project spinning up a smart agent (e.g. Opus 5.5 xhigh) to route all perf work, while admitting he doesn't know the tradeoffs or Cursor's internals. A real-world take on context isolation vs central management in agent workflows.
