Windsurf Policy Guardrails

Overview

Policy guardrails for team Windsurf usage: controlling what Cascade can do, enforcing code review for AI output, configuring terminal safety controls, and preventing common AI coding mistakes.

Prerequisites

• Windsurf configured for team use
• Git workflow established
• CI/CD pipeline in place
• Team agreement on AI usage standards

Instructions

Step 1: Terminal Command Safety (Turbo Mode Controls)

Configure what Cascade can and cannot auto-execute:

// settings.json — Team-wide terminal safety
{
  "windsurf.cascadeCommandsAllowList": [
    "npm test", "npm run", "npx vitest", "npx tsc",
    "git status", "git diff", "git log", "git add",
    "eslint", "prettier", "biome",
    "ls", "cat", "head", "tail", "wc", "grep"
  ],
  "windsurf.cascadeCommandsDenyList": [
    "rm -rf"
