What it does

Windsurf Cascade Agents is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Create custom Cascade agent configurations for specialized tasks. Activate when users mention "custom cascade agent", "specialized ai agent", "domain-specific cascade", "agent configuration", or "custom ai behavior". Handles custom agent creation and configuration. Use when working with windsurf cascade agents functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf cascade agents", "windsurf agents", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 520 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/directory-structure.md`, `references/errors.md` and `references/examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Designed for Claude Code

It sits in AI & LLM Engineering. The repository describes itself as: Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • S mention custom cascade agent
  • Specialized ai agent
  • Domain-specific cascade
  • Agent configuration

Example prompts

  • “custom cascade agent”
  • “specialized ai agent”
  • “domain-specific cascade”
  • “/windsurf-cascade-agents”

Requirements

  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Bash(cmd:*), Grep, Glob

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define Agent Purpose
  2. Create System Prompt
  3. Configure Context Sources
  4. Set Activation Triggers
  5. Test and Refine

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Bash(cmd:*)
    • Grep
    • Glob

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • docs.windsurf.ai

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

  • Compatibility

    Designed for Claude Code

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf Cascade Agents loads about 516 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 109 tokens; SKILL.md has 131 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~109
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~516
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.7k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Windsurf Cascade Agents

Overview

This skill enables creation of specialized Cascade agents tailored for specific domains or tasks. Custom agents can be configured with domain knowledge, specialized prompts, and focused capabilities.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with Cascade Pro or Enterprise
  • Understanding of prompt engineering principles
  • Domain knowledge to encode in agent context
  • Project documentation and conventions documented
  • Test scenarios for agent validation

Instructions

  1. Define Agent Purpose
  2. Create System Prompt
  3. Configure Context Sources
  4. Set Activation Triggers
  5. Test and Refine

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Custom agent configurations in registry
  • Domain-specific system prompts
  • Context files with specialized knowledge
  • Activation trigger mappings

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples
