Skill UI

This skill facilitates the rapid installation and comprehensive configuration of essential extensions for the Windsurf IDE. It covers critical development aspects including language support, code linting, formatting, Git integration, and various productivity tools. Use this skill to set up, customize, or upgrade a cohesive and highly productive development workspace.

This guide outlines common anti-patterns and critical mistakes when using the Windsurf AI IDE. It covers best practices for prompt engineering, managing workspace scope (especially in monorepos), distinguishing between Supercomplete and Cascade usage, and ensuring safe, maintainable AI-assisted coding workflows. Essential for new developers and team auditors.

A comprehensive guide for deploying and optimizing the Windsurf AI IDE across large, complex organizations (50+ developers). Covers critical enterprise topics including monorepo partitioning strategies, managing workspace performance degradation, central configuration distribution, credit budgeting models, and necessary network/IT infrastructure whitelisting for seamless large-scale adoption.

This comprehensive guide offers detailed steps to optimize the Windsurf IDE experience. It addresses common performance bottlenecks such as slow indexing, high memory consumption, and inefficient AI context building (Cascade). Users will learn best practices for configuring exclusion patterns, managing focused workspaces, and tuning IDE settings for maximum development efficiency.

This policy set establishes comprehensive guardrails for using AI coding assistants (like Windsurf/Cascade). It governs terminal commands, enforces workspace isolation (preventing access to secrets/credentials), and integrates CI/CD gates for code quality. Use this when setting up team development standards, mandatory code review policies for AI output, or implementing secure development pipelines.

A comprehensive, multi-phase checklist designed for the systematic rollout of AI coding assistants (like Windsurf) to development teams or entire enterprises. It covers critical areas including workspace configuration, security hardening (SSO/SAML, secret management), establishing team AI policies, structured developer onboarding, key performance indicator (KPI) monitoring, and emergency rollback procedures.

A comprehensive guide to establishing production-ready coding standards and context for the Windsurf AI environment. Learn how to utilize root-level rules (.windsurfrules), granular workspace rules, Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration, and advanced prompt engineering to guide the AI and maintain consistent code quality across projects.

A comprehensive guide to securing development workspaces using Windsurf. This skill teaches how to apply best practices for workspace isolation, prevent sensitive data (secrets, PII) from leaking into AI indexes, manage telemetry, and ensure compliance by configuring exclusion files and security rules.

This skill guides the development of custom extensions for the Windsurf environment, leveraging the full VS Code Extension API. You will learn to track various workspace events—such as file saves, editor changes, and terminal outputs—and integrate this data with external services by sending structured webhooks. This is essential for building complex workflow automation, implementing custom IDE features, or creating data analytics tools within the development lifecycle.

This skill automates the setup of Windsurf development workspaces. It handles AI rule initialization (.windsurfrules), configuring editor settings, establishing cross-editor consistency, and defining team standards for complex multi-root monorepos. Use this skill when starting a new Windsurf project or migrating an existing one to ensure standardized development practices.

This skill acts as a Senior Solutions Architect and Tech Consultant for AI projects. It diagnoses a workspace—determining if it is a pure new project or an evolving system. It analyzes the existing stack and pain points to chart the optimal technical roadmap, generating detailed backlogs and implementation plans to ensure scalable, high-quality development.

This skill provides complete, programmatic integration with the protocols.io API v3, enabling advanced management of scientific protocols. Use it for the entire protocol lifecycle, including discovery by DOI or keywords, creating new protocols, managing steps and materials, coordinating collaborative development, organizing workspaces, and tracking experiments. It covers authentication, file handling, and discussion management, making it ideal for automated lab workflows and scientific documentation systems.
