# Windsurf Hello World ## Overview First hands-on experience with Windsurf's three AI modalities: Cascade (agentic chat), Supercomplete (inline completions), and Command (inline editing). This skill walks through real interactions, not placeholder code. ## Prerequisites - Completed `windsurf-install-auth` setup - Windsurf open with a project folder ## Instructions ### Step 1: Experience Supercomplete (Tab Completions) Open any code file and start typing. Supercomplete predicts your intent based on recent edits, cursor movement, and surrounding context. ```typescript // Type this in a new file: hello.ts // After typing "function greet", Supercomplete suggests the rest function greet(name: string): string { // Just type "return" and press Tab -- Supercomplete fills the template literal return `Hello, ${name}! Welcome to Windsurf.`; } // Start typing "const users" -- Supercomplete predicts array based on greet() context const users = ["Alice", "Bob", "Charlie"]; users.forEach(user => console.log(greet(user))); ``` Key Supercomplete behaviors: - Press **Tab** to accept a suggestion - Press **Esc** to dismiss - Suggestions appear as gray ghost text - Tracks your edit history (last 30-90
