What it does

Windsurf Workspace Setup is an agent skill from jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace. Initialize Windsurf workspace with project-specific AI rules. Activate when users mention "create windsurfrules", "setup workspace", "configure project ai", "initialize windsurf workspace", or "migrate to windsurf". Handles workspace configuration and team standardization. Use when working with windsurf workspace setup functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf workspace setup", "windsurf setup", "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 Development. 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 create windsurfrules
  • Setup workspace
  • Configure project ai
  • Initialize windsurf workspace

Example prompts

  • “create windsurfrules”
  • “setup workspace”
  • “configure project ai”
  • “/windsurf-workspace-setup”

Requirements

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

Workflow steps

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

  1. Create .windsurfrules
  2. Configure Editor Settings
  3. Set Up Extensions
  4. Configure Cross-Editor Consistency
  5. Establish Team Standards

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:*)

    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 Workspace Setup loads about 503 tokens when it runs, and up to ~1.4k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 111 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
~111
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~503
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~1.4k

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.
