Prerequisites

Section titled “Prerequisites”
  • Windsurf editor installed

Setup

Section titled “Setup”

  1. Open your docs directory in Windsurf

    Open the root of your documentation repository.

  2. Install a documentation skill

    In the integrated terminal, install the skill matching your docs platform, for example:

    Terminal window
    npx skills add <skill-source>

    This gives Windsurf the platform’s component reference, writing standards, and workflow guidance.

  3. Customize project instructions

    Edit AGENTS.md in your project root to add project-specific terminology, style preferences, and content boundaries.

  4. Start writing with Cascade

    Open a file and use Cascade to draft and edit documentation.
