What is the Windsurf equivalent of Cursor's Composer?

The equivalent feature in Windsurf is Cascade Write mode, which provides powerful agentic AI editing and project-wide code generation.

Is there a risk of losing my current IDE settings?

No, the migration process copies configurations to new directories. Your original VS Code or Cursor settings remain untouched, allowing for an easy rollback.

Will my VS Code extensions work in Windsurf?

Windsurf is compatible with the VS Code ecosystem. This skill provides a script to list, export, and reinstall your extensions in the Windsurf environment.

Does this skill help with team-wide IDE adoption?

Yes, it includes a structured 4-week rollout plan covering pilot phases, training, and final decommissioning of old licenses.

Can I migrate my Cursor rules to Windsurf?

Yes, this skill automates the conversion of .cursorrules to .windsurfrules and .cursorignore to .codeiumignore to maintain your project context.
