Windsurf Multi File Editing
Overview
This skill enables coordinated multi-file editing operations within Windsurf using Cascade AI. It provides atomic changes across multiple files, ensuring consistency when renaming symbols, moving code, or making cross-file refactoring changes. The skill handles dependency tracking, preview generation, and rollback capabilities for safe multi-file operations.
Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE installed and configured
- Active Cascade AI subscription
- Project workspace initialized with
.windsurf/directory - Git or version control for rollback safety
- Understanding of project file structure and dependencies
Instructions
- Scope the Operation
- Configure Operation Template
- Generate Preview
- Execute with Preview
- Verify Results
See {baseDir}/references/implementation.md for detailed implementation guide.
Output
- Modified files with consistent changes applied
edit-history.jsonlog with operation details- Rollback snapshot for recovery if needed
- Validation report with syntax check results
Error Handling
See {baseDir}/references/errors.md for comprehensive error handling.
Examples
