What it does
Windsurf Cascade Context is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Manage Cascade context window and memory for complex projects. Activate when users mention "cascade context", "ai memory", "context management", "large codebase navigation", or "multi-session development". Handles context optimization and persistence. Use when working with windsurf cascade context functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf cascade context", "windsurf context", "windsurf".
Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Agent Workflows, covering Context 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 cascade context
- Context management
- Large codebase navigation
- Multi-session development
Example prompts
- “cascade context”
- “ai memory”
- “context management”
- “/windsurf-cascade-context”
Requirements
- Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Designed for Claude Code
- Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Grep, Glob
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Map Project Structure
- Configure Context Priorities
- Create Context Documentation
- Optimize for Workflow
- Monitor 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:
ReadWriteEditGrepGlob
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 Context loads about 501 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 106 tokens; SKILL.md has 124 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
