# Windsurf Cascade Context
## Overview
This skill enables advanced context management for Cascade AI in large-scale projects. It covers context prioritization, memory persistence across sessions, and optimization strategies for codebases with hundreds or thousands of files. Proper context management ensures Cascade maintains accurate understanding of your project architecture and conventions during extended development sessions.
## Prerequisites
- Windsurf IDE with Cascade enabled
- Large codebase (50+ files)
- Project documentation available
- Understanding of project architecture
- Clear identification of critical code paths
## Instructions
1. **Map Project Structure**
2. **Configure Context Priorities**
3. **Create Context Documentation**
4. **Optimize for Workflow**
5. **Monitor and Refine**
See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.
## Output
- Optimized context configuration
- Project context documentation
- Module index for navigation
- Session state persistence
## Error Handling
See `{baseDir}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.
## Examples
See `{baseDir}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
