My Ultimate AI Coding Workflow (GitHub + Cursor Agents Setup)

GitHub MCP + GitHub Issues + Cursor Background Agents have completely changed how I code. In this video, I will show you my 4 step workflow for AI coding agents. You will learn how to turn ideas into GitHub Issues, run Cursor Agents in parallel, and review working pull requests without leaving your editor. The same workflow also works with Claude Code or GitHub Copilot Agents.
