This skill enables advanced context management for Cascade AI in large-scale projects. It covers context prioritization, memory persistence across sessions, and optimization strategies for codebases with hundreds or thousands of files. Proper context management ensures Cascade maintains accurate understanding of your project architecture and conventions during extended development sessions.
Prerequisites
Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
Large codebase (50+ files)
Project documentation available
Understanding of project architecture
Clear identification of critical code paths
Instructions
Map Project Structure
Configure Context Priorities
Create Context Documentation
Optimize for Workflow
Monitor and Refine
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
Output
Optimized context configuration
Project context documentation
Module index for navigation
Session state persistence
Error Handling
See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.
Examples
See {baseDir}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
