E7:S06:T12 – CMW Workflow Windsurf Impact Review
Task: E7:S06:T12 Workflow: Changelog Management Workflow (CMW) Review Date: 2026-03-18 Status: Complete
Windsurf Impact
Extent of Windsurf-Specific Logic
cmw-maintain encodes changelog validation, ordering, archival. Four steps: Validation, Ordering, Archival, Consistency. .cursorrules states CMW is "deterministic (rule-based, no agentic intelligence required)."
Divergence from .cursorrules
No significant divergence. CMW is explicitly rule-based. The skill's step sequence matches expected behavior.
Risk to Cursor-Native Execution
Low risk. CMW is deterministic by design. Migration is straightforward.
Skill Mappings
| .windsurf Skill | Purpose | .cursorrules Equivalent | Target Path |
|---|---|---|---|
| cmw-maintain | Changelog validation, ordering, archival | RW Step 9.5; CMW deterministic | .cursor/skills/cmw-maintain |
Migration Plan
- Copy
cmw-maintainto .cursor/skills/cmw-maintain. - Remove .windsurf/skills/cmw-maintain.
- Ensure CMW scripts (check_changelog_size, etc.) remain in packages/frameworks/workflow mgt/.
Anti-Pattern Findings
Finding: CMW is deterministic by design; no agentic intelligence required. The skill documents rule-based steps – appropriate for CMW. None observed for anti-pattern; determinism is correct for this workflow.
