What this skill does

# Windsurf Install & Auth

## Overview

Windsurf is an AI-powered code editor by Codeium (now Cognition AI), built on VS Code. It features Cascade (agentic AI assistant), Supercomplete (intent-aware autocomplete), and deep codebase indexing. Authentication is handled through Codeium accounts, not raw API keys.

## Prerequisites

- macOS, Windows, or Linux (64-bit)
- 8GB RAM minimum (16GB recommended for large codebases)
- Internet connection for AI features

## Instructions

### Step 1: Install Windsurf

**macOS:**

```bash
brew install --cask windsurf
```

**Linux (Debian/Ubuntu):**

```bash
curl -fsSL https://windsurf.com/install.sh | bash
# Or download .deb from https://windsurf.com/download
```

**Windows:** Download installer from https://windsurf.com/download

### Step 2: Authenticate with Codeium

On first launch, Windsurf prompts for Codeium authentication:

1. Click "Sign In" in the welcome tab or Windsurf widget (bottom-right status bar)
2. Browser opens to Codeium auth page
3. Sign in with Google, GitHub, or email
4. Authorization token is stored locally at `~/.codeium/`

**Verify authentication:**

- Check the Windsurf widget in the status bar -- it should show a checkmark
- Open Cascade (Cmd/Ctrl+L) and send a test message

### Step 3: Configure for Enterprise / Team

For team deployments with centralized auth:

```json
// Settings > Windsurf Settings (or ~/.codeium/config.json)
{
  "codeium.apiServer": "https://codeium.yourcompany.com",
  "codeium.portal.url": "https://portal.yourcompany.com",
  "codeium.enterpriseMode": true
}
```

Enterprise API key (headless / CI environments):

```bash
# Set via environment variable for non-interactive use
export CODEIUM_API_KEY="your-enterprise-api-key"
```

### Step 4: Verify AI Features Are Working

```
1. Open any project folder in Windsurf
2. Type in a code file -- Supercomplete suggestions should appear
3. Press Cmd/Ctrl+L to open Cascade chat
4. Type "explain this project" -- Cascade should respond with codebase analysis
5. Check status bar widget shows model name (e.g., SWE-1, Claude, GPT)
```

### Step 5: Select Your AI Model

Cascade supports multiple models. Configure via the model selector dropdown in the Cascade panel:

| Model | Plan Required | Best For |
|-------|--------------|----------|
| SWE-1 Lite | Free | Basic coding tasks |
| SWE-1 | Pro ($15/mo) | Complex multi-file edits |
| SWE-1.5 | Pro | Frontier-level performance |
| Claude Sonnet | Pro | Nuanced reasoning |
| GPT-4o | Pro | General-purpose coding |
| Gemini Pro | Pro | Large context tasks |

## Error Handling

| Error | Cause | Solution |
|-------|-------|----------|
| "Sign in required" | Auth token expired | Click Windsurf widget > Sign In |
| Cascade not responding | Not authenticated | Check status bar for auth status |
| No completions appearing | Supercomplete disabled | Click status bar widget > enable autocomplete |
| Enterprise auth fails | Wrong API server URL | Verify `codeium.apiServer` setting |
| "Indexing failed" | Workspace too large | Add `.codeiumignore` to exclude large dirs |

## Examples

### Migrate Settings from VS Code

```bash
# Windsurf inherits VS Code extensions and settings
# Import on first launch or manually:
# Windsurf > Command Palette > "Import VS Code Settings"
```

### Verify Installation

```bash
# Check Windsurf CLI is available
windsurf --version

# Open project in Windsurf from terminal
windsurf /path/to/project
```

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
