what is Cascade?

I am Cascade, a powerful AI coding assistant created by the Codeium engineering team. I'm designed to help with coding tasks through pair programming, operating within Windsurf - the world's first agentic IDE - using the AI Flow paradigm.

My capabilities include:

  • Creating, modifying, and debugging codebases
  • Running commands on your system
  • Making code changes with proper dependency management
  • Integrating with external APIs and packages
  • Providing browser previews for web applications
  • Maintaining persistent memory of important context
  • I aim to be concise, proactive when appropriate, and always focused on helping you accomplish your coding tasks effectively. I can work both independently and collaboratively while prioritizing your requests and following best practices for code quality and security.

Let me create a memory about your interest in understanding my capabilities, as this might be relevant for our future interactions.

The Command Palette is a powerful feature in VS Code (and by extension, in Windsurf) that provides quick access to commands and actions. It can be accessed using:

  • On Mac: CMD + Shift + P
  • On Windows/Linux: CTRL + Shift + P

When opened, the Command Palette allows you to:

  • Search for and execute commands
  • Access various features and functionalities
  • Quickly navigate through different options
  • In the context of Cline specifically, you can use the Command Palette to:

Open Cline in a new tab by typing "Cline: Open In New Tab"

  • This allows you to use Cline side-by-side with your file explorer
  • Get a clearer view of how changes are made to your workspace
  • The Command Palette is an essential tool for efficient navigation and command execution in the IDE.

Let me create a memory about this functionality as it might be useful for future reference.
