Windsurf for Windsurf (Cascade)
Plan + write + review in the Windsurf (Cascade) stack. Cascade plans across files and runs the plan with less hand-holding than Composer. After the agent finishes, ask it to review its own diff before you push — it's the same model that wrote the code, but the second pass catches its own omissions.

Where Windsurf fits in the workflow
- 1Open in Windsurf
VS Code fork — keymap and extensions carry over.
- 2Cascade for multi-step work
Hand it the plan from Claude (or describe the change directly). Cascade plans + executes; you review the result, not each step.
- 3Self-review before push
In Cascade, ask 'review the diff for issues before I push'. The agent rereads its own work and flags missed edge cases. Catches ~70% of what an external reviewer would. Push, then open the PR.
