Windsurf Debug Bundle

Windsurf Debug Bundle

Current State

Collect editor, runtime, and operating-system versions only after the user requests a diagnostic bundle; do not execute shell substitutions while loading this skill.

Overview

Collect a minimal, redacted diagnostic package for troubleshooting Devin Desktop issues or preparing an effective support request without sweeping unrelated user data.

Prerequisites

• Windsurf installed (even if malfunctioning)
• Terminal access
• Permission to read Windsurf config directories

Tool Use

• Use Read to inspect only the repository files and configuration needed for the request.
• Use Grep to locate relevant settings, rules, logs, or code without broad collection.
• Use only the command-scoped Bash entries declared in frontmatter, with non-destructive checks before mutations.

Instructions

Step 1: Collect Windsurf Configuration State

#!/bin/bash
set -euo pipefail

BUNDLE="windsurf-debug-$(date +%Y%m%d-%H%M%S)"
mkdir -p "$BUNDLE"/{config,logs,workspace}

echo "=== Windsurf Debug Bundle ===" > "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Generated: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"

# 1. Windsurf version and environment
echo "--- Environment ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
windsurf --version >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt" 2>&1 || echo "windsurf CLI not found" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
node --version >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt" 2>&1
echo "OS: $(uname -srm)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"

# 2. Codeium config (redacted)
echo "--- Codeium Config ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
ls -la ~/.codeium/ >> "$BUNDLE/config/codeium-dir.txt" 2>&1 || echo "No ~/.codeium/" >> "$BUNDLE/config/codeium-dir.txt"

# 3. MCP server config (redacted)
if [ -f ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json ]; then
  sed 's/"[A-Za-z0-9_-]\{20,\}"/"***REDACTED***"/g' ~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json > "$BUNDLE/config/mcp-config-redacted.json"
fi

# 4. Workspace config
cp .devin/rules/project.md "$BUNDLE/workspace/" 2>/dev/null || true
cp .codeiumignore "$BUNDLE/workspace/" 2>/dev/null || true
ls -la .windsurf/ >> "$BUNDLE/workspace/windsurf-dir.txt" 2>/dev/null || true
ls -la .devin/rules/ >> "$BUNDLE/workspace/rules-dir.txt" 2>/dev/null || true

# 5. Extension list
windsurf --list-extensions > "$BUNDLE/config/extensions.txt" 2>/dev/null || echo "Cannot list extensions" > "$BUNDLE/config/extensions.txt"

Step 2: Collect Logs

# Windsurf logs location varies by OS:
# macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/logs/
# Linux: ~/.config/Windsurf/logs/
# Windows: %APPDATA%/Windsurf/logs/

LOG_DIR="${HOME}/.config/Windsurf/logs"
[ -d "$LOG_DIR" ] || LOG_DIR="${HOME}/Library/Application Support/Windsurf/logs"

if [ -d "$LOG_DIR" ]; then
  # Copy last 1000 lines of each log (redacted)
  for log in "$LOG_DIR"/*.log; do
    tail -1000 "$log" 2>/dev/null | sed 's/Bearer [^ ]*/Bearer ***REDACTED***/g' > "$BUNDLE/logs/$(basename "$log")"
  done
fi

# Codeium-specific logs
if [ -d ~/.codeium/windsurf/logs ]; then
  cp ~/.codeium/windsurf/logs/*.log "$BUNDLE/logs/" 2>/dev/null || true
fi

Step 3: Check Workspace Health

# Workspace analysis
echo "--- Workspace Health ---" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "File count: $(find . -type f -not -path '*/node_modules/*' -not -path '*/.git/*' | wc -l)" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Has .devin/rules/project.md: $([ -f .devin/rules/project.md ] && echo 'YES' || echo 'NO')" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Has .codeiumignore: $([ -f .codeiumignore ] && echo 'YES' || echo 'NO')" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
echo "Has .devin/rules/: $([ -d .devin/rules ] && echo 'YES' || echo 'NO')" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"

# Check for common issues
if [ ! -f .codeiumignore ] && [ -d node_modules ]; then
  echo "WARNING: No .codeiumignore but node_modules exists -- indexing will be slow" >> "$BUNDLE/summary.txt"
fi

Step 4: Package and Submit

tar -czf "$BUNDLE.tar.gz" "$BUNDLE"
echo "Debug bundle created: $BUNDLE.tar.gz"
echo "Review for sensitive data before submitting to support."

Support Ticket Template

Populate the template only from reviewed bundle evidence, and replace every bracketed field before sharing it with support.

Error Handling

Examples

ALWAYS REDACT

• API keys and tokens
• Passwords and secrets
• Personal file paths (replace with ~/)
• Customer data

Quick Single-Command Health Check

echo "Windsurf: $(windsurf --version 2>/dev/null || echo 'N/A')" && \
echo "Rules: $([ -f .devin/rules/project.md ] && wc -c < .devin/rules/project.md || echo 'none')" && \
echo "Ignore: $([ -f .codeiumignore ] && wc -l < .codeiumignore || echo 'none')"
