E7:S06:T11 – UKW Workflow Windsurf Impact Review
Task: E7:S06:T11 Workflow: Update Kanban Workflow (UKW) Review Date: 2026-03-18 Status: Complete
Windsurf Impact
Extent of Windsurf-Specific Logic
ukw-sync and kanban_completed_update encode UKW behavior. ukw-sync explicitly states "This workflow requires significant agentic intelligence at every step" and lists synthesis, inference, prioritization – aligned with .cursorrules. kanban_completed_update is procedural (update interface, implementation steps) but targets document maintenance.
Divergence from .cursorrules
.cursorrules UKW section requires bottom-up approach, MoSCOW last, intelligent synthesis. ukw-sync matches well: "Synthesize intelligently," "Infer status," "Prioritize strategically." Lower anti-pattern risk than RW. kanban_completed_update uses Python pseudocode and step sequences – more deterministic, but scoped to doc updates.
Risk to Cursor-Native Execution
Low–medium risk. ukw-sync reinforces agentic intelligence. kanban_completed_update's procedural steps could steer toward script-like doc updates; migrate with "guidance, not rigid script" framing.
Skill Mappings
| .windsurf Skill | Purpose | .cursorrules Equivalent | Target Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| ukw-sync | UKW execution; synthesis, inference, MoSCOW | UKW 9-step guide; agentic requirements | .cursor/skills/ukw-sync (align with .cursorrules) |
| kanban_completed_update | Update kanban-completed.md | RW Step 7, UKW Step 6 | .cursor/skills/kanban-completed-update |
Migration Plan
- Copy
ukw-syncto .cursor/skills/ukw-sync – retain intelligence requirements; ensure bottom-up, MoSCOW-last order. - Copy
kanban_completed_updateto .cursor/skills/kanban-completed-update – emphasize interface/format, not rigid step sequence. - Remove .windsurf/skills/ukw-sync, kanban_completed_update after migration.
Anti-Pattern Findings
Finding: ukw-sync aligns with agentic model ("requires significant agentic intelligence"). kanban_completed_update has procedural steps but is document-interface focused. None observed for determinism in ukw-sync; minor risk in kanban_completed_update if treated as script. Recommend migrating both with "agent guidance" framing.
