Activation

This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.

Create custom Cascade agent configurations for specialized tasks. Activate when users mention
"custom cascade agent", "specialized ai agent", "domain-specific cascade", "agent configuration",
or "custom ai behavior". Handles custom agent creation and configuration. Use when working with windsurf cascade agents functionality. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf cascade agents", "windsurf agents", "windsurf".

About this skill

Windsurf Cascade Agents

Overview

This skill enables creation of specialized Cascade agents tailored for specific domains or tasks. Custom agents can be configured with domain knowledge, specialized prompts, and focused capabilities.

Prerequisites

  • Windsurf IDE with Cascade Pro or Enterprise
  • Understanding of prompt engineering principles
  • Domain knowledge to encode in agent context
  • Project documentation and conventions documented
  • Test scenarios for agent validation

Instructions

  1. Define Agent Purpose
  2. Create System Prompt
  3. Configure Context Sources
  4. Set Activation Triggers
  5. Test and Refine

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.

Output

  • Custom agent configurations in registry
  • Domain-specific system prompts
  • Context files with specialized knowledge
  • Activation trigger mappings

Error Handling

See ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.

Examples
