Send messages to Cascade in Planning Mode, a setting that will let Cascade plan before making edits

What changed

  • Send messages to Cascade in Planning Mode, a setting that will let Cascade plan before making edits
  • Cascade will create a plan.md file of the actions it plans to take before taking action
  • The plan is user-editable, and Cascade will pick up on user changes
  • You can create “workflows”, saved prompts that Cascade can follow
  • Workflows can be invoked via slash command
  • Cascade can help create and edit workflows
  • Local workflowfiles are saved in the workspace, under .windsurf/workflows
  • You can create granular rules files that are always on, @mention-able, requested by Cascade, or attached to file globs
