What it does

Windsurf Debugging AI is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Execute use Cascade for intelligent debugging and error analysis. Activate when users mention "debug with ai", "error analysis", "cascade debug", "find bug", or "troubleshoot code". Handles AI-assisted debugging workflows. Use when debugging issues or troubleshooting. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf debugging ai", "windsurf ai", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Development, covering Debugging. 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 debug with ai
  • Troubleshoot code
  • Debugging issues
  • Troubleshooting

Example prompts

  • “debug with ai”
  • “error analysis”
  • “cascade debug”
  • “/windsurf-debugging-ai”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Capture Error Context
  2. Analyze with Cascade
  3. Investigate Root Cause
  4. Apply Fix
  5. Document for Prevention

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
    • Grep
    • Glob
    • Bash(cmd:*)

    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 Debugging AI loads about 450 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 92 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~92
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~450
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.3k

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 Debugging Ai

Overview

This skill enables AI-assisted debugging within Windsurf. Cascade analyzes error messages, stack traces, and code context to identify root causes and suggest fixes.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
  • Application with reproducible issues
  • Debug configuration set up
  • Error logs accessible
  • Understanding of application architecture

Instructions

  1. Capture Error Context
  2. Analyze with Cascade
  3. Investigate Root Cause
  4. Apply Fix
  5. Document for Prevention

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

Output

  • Root cause analysis
  • Fix recommendations
  • Debug session logs
  • Prevention strategies

Error Handling

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

Examples

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md for detailed examples.
