What it does

Windsurf Cascade Onboarding is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Configure Cascade AI agent for new team projects. Activate when users mention "setup cascade", "configure windsurf ai", "initialize cascade agent", "new windsurf project", or "onboard team to windsurf". Handles agent configuration, context settings, and team defaults. Use when working with windsurf cascade onboarding functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf cascade onboarding", "windsurf onboarding", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 530 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

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

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.

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

From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Windsurf Cascade Onboarding loads about 529 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 113 tokens; SKILL.md has 133 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~113
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~529
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~1.5k

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.
