Boost OS for Windsurf

A planning layer for Windsurf's Cascade

Cascade moves fast, which is exactly when a planning layer earns its keep. Boost OS adds /design and /preflight so features get shaped and checked against your real codebase before Cascade starts writing, and /vibe so you get a verdict on the work before it ships.

The whole system is plain files in your repo: the kernel, the 20 commands, and project memory. Windsurf doesn't expose an agent hook system, so the automatic guards stay dormant. Everything you invoke by slash works in full.

How it installs in Windsurf

Paste one prompt into Windsurf. No terminal.

Click the onboarding pill, paste one prompt into Windsurf
The kernel installs to AGENTS.md; commands to .agents/skills/
Type /os in Cascade to see the full menu grouped by job
Project memory scaffolds in .agents/memory/ and rides along in git
Guards need host hook support, which Windsurf doesn't expose. Every command still works

Where Windsurf users start

The full menu

Every command below installs with that one prompt and appears in your Windsurf chat the moment you type the slash. Browse all 20 commands.

/os: list every Boost OS slash command available in this project, grouped by category
/cost: break down a feature or vendor across money, build time, learning curve, lock-in, and ongoing maintenance
/design: shape a vague feature idea into a plan you can hand to /preflight before any code gets written
/explain: translate the previous output into plain language for a non-coder
/next: draft 2-3 builder-friendly prompts you could send next, based on the recent chat
/spawn: fan a task into parallel subagents when the work has independent parts
/audit: find legacy and dead code in a bounded scope, then delete with per-file confirmation
/health: check production error logs for a service in your stack and surface a grouped report
/mobile: audit one screen for mobile readiness and hand back a numbered plan you can give to /preflight
/preflight: audit a plan against the existing codebase to catch drift, bloat, redundancy, and misalignment before you start coding
/security: pre-deploy safety sweep across secrets, env hygiene, dependency advisories, and risky API routes
/sync: sync the agent's knowledge of installed library versions so it stops writing against outdated APIs
/vibe: sanity-check your uncommitted work and tell you whether you're on track or about to ship a problem
/forget: delete a saved subsystem reference
/recall: read a saved subsystem reference and pull its contents into the current chat
/remember: capture what this session learned about a subsystem into a reference file
/new: build your own custom slash command for this project through a short conversation
/pause: turn off the always-on parts of Boost OS without removing anything; /resume brings them back
/resume: turn the always-on parts of Boost OS back on after a pause
/uninstall: cleanly remove Boost OS from the project, including managed skills, project memory, and references (your own commands stay)
/update: check for and install Boost OS updates from any AI chat: newer commands, kernel improvements, fixes
/whats-new: see what shipped since your installed version, without installing anything
