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
