name	windsurf-incident-runbook
description	Execute Windsurf incident response when AI features fail or cause production issues. Use when Cascade breaks code, Windsurf service is down, AI-generated code causes production incidents, or team needs emergency Windsurf troubleshooting. Trigger with phrases like "windsurf incident", "windsurf outage", "windsurf broke production", "cascade caused bug", "windsurf emergency".

Windsurf Incident Runbook

Overview

Incident response procedures for Windsurf-related issues: Cascade service outages, AI-generated code causing bugs, and team workflow disruptions.

Prerequisites

• Access to Windsurf dashboard and status page
• Git access to affected repositories
• Team communication channel (Slack, Teams)

Severity Levels

Level	Definition	Response Time	Examples
P1	Production broken by AI code	< 15 min	Cascade-generated code deployed with critical bug
P2	Team workflow blocked	< 1 hour	Windsurf service outage, all Cascade down
P3	Degraded AI features	< 4 hours	Slow Cascade, Supercomplete intermittent
P4	Minor inconvenience	Next business day	Specific model unavailable, feature regression

Quick Triage Decision Tree

Is Windsurf service itself down?
├─ YES: Check https://status.windsurf.com
│   ├─ Status page shows incident → WAIT for Windsurf to resolve
│   │   Action: Switch to manual coding, notify team
│   └─ Status page green → Local issue
│       Action: Restart Windsurf, check internet, re-authenticate
│
└─ NO: Did AI-generated code cause a production issue?
    ├─ YES → P1 INCIDENT
    │   1. Revert the deployment immediately
    │   2. Identify the Cascade-generated commit(s)
    │   3. Fix manually or with targeted Cascade prompt
    │   4. Post-incident: update review policy
    │
    └─ NO: Is Cascade giving bad suggestions?
        ├─ YES → Check .windsurfrules, start fresh Cascade session
        └─ NO → See windsurf-common-errors

P1 Playbook: AI Code Caused Production Bug

Step 1: Immediate Mitigation

set -euo pipefail
# Revert the deployment
git log --oneline -10  # Find the bad commit(s)

# If tagged with [cascade]:
git revert HEAD --no-edit  # Revert most recent commit
git push origin main       # Deploy revert

# If multiple Cascade commits:
git revert --no-commit HEAD~3..HEAD  # Revert last 3 commits
git commit -m 
git push origin main
