# Use Windsurf with ECP

> Configure Windsurf and the ECP docs skill to accelerate Execution Control Protocol development.

Use Windsurf’s Cascade assistant to work on ECP (Execution Control Protocol) manifests, examples, and CLI usage.

## Prerequisites

* Windsurf editor installed
* Local clone of the ECP repo

## Setup

1. Open the ECP repository in Windsurf.
2. Install the ECP documentation skill so Cascade can draw on the ECP docs:

```bash theme={null}
npm install -g skills
skills add https://executioncontrolprotocol.io
```

3. Use Cascade to:

* Edit Context manifests and examples under `examples/`.
* Propose `ecp run` and `ecp validate` commands for different providers and inputs.
* Answer questions using the public ECP docs as context.

## Next steps

* [Quickstart](/getting-started/quickstart) — first ECP Context
* [Security](/learn/security) — budgets, write controls, and policies
