What it does

Windsurf Keyboard Shortcuts is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Configure custom keyboard shortcuts for Cascade and AI features. Activate when users mention "keyboard shortcuts", "keybindings", "hotkeys", "shortcut configuration", or "customize shortcuts". Handles keybinding setup and optimization. Use when working with windsurf keyboard shortcuts functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf keyboard shortcuts", "windsurf shortcuts", "windsurf".

Its SKILL.md is about 480 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/errors.md`, `references/examples.md` and `references/implementation.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

  • S mention keyboard shortcuts
  • Shortcut configuration
  • Customize shortcuts
  • Working with windsurf keyboard shortcuts functionality

Example prompts

  • “keyboard shortcuts”
  • “keybindings”
  • “hotkeys”
  • “/windsurf-keyboard-shortcuts”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Review Default Shortcuts
  2. Plan Customizations
  3. Configure AI Shortcuts
  4. Create Custom Bindings
  5. Document and Share

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

    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 Keyboard Shortcuts loads about 484 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 114 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~484
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1k

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.
