Execute Windsurf primary workflow: Core Workflow A. Use when implementing primary use case, building main features, or core integration tasks. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf main workflow", "primary task with windsurf".
Devin Desktop is the current name for Windsurf. Cascade Code mode is its agentic editing workflow: it can create and modify files, call tools, run approved terminal commands, inspect diagnostics, and iterate on failures.
.devin/rules/project.md configured (see windsurf-sdk-patterns)Read to inspect only the repository files and configuration needed for the request.Grep to locate relevant settings, rules, logs, or code without broad collection.Write only for a new artifact the user requested; never write credentials or unreviewed production configuration.Edit for bounded, reviewable changes and preserve unrelated user work.Bash entries declared in frontmatter, with non-destructive checks before mutations.Always commit or stash before a Cascade session. Cascade writes directly to your files.
git add -A && git commit -m "checkpoint: before cascade session"
# Or for uncommitted work:
git stash push -m "pre-cascade stash"
Open the Cascade panel and select Code rather than Chat. Keyboard shortcuts can vary by imported profile, so use the visible command or confirm the current binding before documenting it.
Structure your prompt with scope, specifics, and constraints:
"In src/services/, create a NotificationService that:
1. Sends email via Resend API (already in package.json)
2. Sends Slack messages via webhook URL from env
3. Uses the Result<T,E> pattern from src/types/result.ts
4. Includes retry logic with exponential backoff (max 3 retries)
5. Add unit tests in tests/services/notification.test.ts
Don't modify any existing files except to add exports."
Cascade shows its reasoning and plan before executing:
Cascade output flow:
1. "I'll create the notification service with email and Slack support..."
2. Creates src/services/notification.ts (shows diff)
3. Creates tests/services/notification.test.ts (shows diff)
4. Runs: npm install resend (if needed)
5. Runs: npx vitest run tests/services/notification.test.ts
6. Reports results
Review each file diff in the Cascade output. Then:
If tests fail, Cascade retains context about what it just did:
"The test for sendSlack is failing with 'fetch is not defined'.
Fix it by using the node:test built-in fetch mock."
Cascade reads the error, understands its own recent changes, and applies targeted fixes.
@src/types/result.ts — force Cascade to read this file for the Result pattern
@src/services/ — reference the entire services directory for consistency
@web resend API docs — search the web for current Resend documentation
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| Cascade modifies wrong files | Vague prompt | Specify exact file paths and constraints |
| Changes break existing tests | No constraint on existing code | Add "don't modify existing files" to prompt |
| Cascade loops on error | Insufficient context | Paste the full error message, reference relevant files |
| Code mode is unavailable | Account, policy, or quota restriction | Check the visible account and organization state |
| Cascade ignores .devin/rules/project.md | Wrong path, trigger, or file over 12,000 characters | Validate frontmatter and split the workspace rule |
"Add a user profile page:
1. Create app/profile/page.tsx as a Server Component
2. Create app/profile/edit/page.tsx as a Client Component with form
3. Add GET /api/profile and PUT /api/profile route handlers
4. Use the existing UserSchema from lib/types/user.ts for validation
5. Style with Tailwind matching the existing design system
6. Add tests for both API routes"
"Extract the authentication logic from src/middleware/auth.ts into:
- src/services/auth.ts (JWT validation, token refresh)
- src/services/session.ts (session management)
Update all imports across the codebase. Run tests after."
