# 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.

## 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

1. **Scope the Operation**
2. **Configure Operation Template**
3. **Generate Preview**
4. **Execute with Preview**
5. **Verify Results**

See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.

## Output

- Modified files with consistent changes applied
- `edit-history.json` log with operation details
- Rollback snapshot for recovery if needed
- Validation report with syntax check results

## Error Handling

See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/errors.md` for comprehensive error handling.

## Examples

See `${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/references/examples.md` for detailed examples.
