tomevault-io Windsurf IDE
Harness Windsurf's Cascade AI for flow-state development with deep code understanding.
Quick Start
# Windsurf & Cascade Guide
## Cascade Modes
- **Ask Mode** (`Ctrl+L`): Questions, explanations, codebase exploration
- **Edit Mode** (`Ctrl+I`): Inline code generation and modification
- **Agent Mode**: Autonomous task execution across files
## Key Features
- **Deep Context**: Cascade understands your entire codebase, not just open files
- **Flow State**: Predicts your next action and pre-loads context
- **Multi-file Editing**: Edits across multiple files with one command
- **Terminal Integration**: Cascade can run and interpret terminal commands
- **Web Search**: Built-in web search through Cascade
## Workflow
1. Open project → Cascade auto-indexes
2. Describe task in natural language
3. Review AI-generated changes
4. Accept/reject with diff view
## Rules (.windsurfrules)
.windsurfrules
Always use TypeScript strict mode Prefer functional components with hooks Use path alias @/ for src/ Write unit tests for all new functions
Key Concepts
Windsurf focuses on "flow state" — proactive AI that anticipates needs. Cascade indexes your full codebase for context-aware assistance. Use .windsurfrules to encode project conventions.
When to Use
- Large codebases requiring deep context understanding
- Complex refactoring across many interconnected files
- Teams wanting consistent AI-assisted development patterns
Validation
- Cascade answers questions correctly about codebase structure
- Multi-file edits maintain consistency across all changed files
- Agent mode completes tasks without hallucinating file contents
