Windsurf Codemaps: Understand Code, Before You Vibe It

by

Love the intention behind @Windsurf Codemaps, which are "AI-annotated structured maps of your code, powered by SWE-1.5 and Claude Sonnet 4.5." to enable "hyper-contextualized codebase understanding, grounded in precise code navigation".

Or put another way: a map to help find your way in a thicket of vibed spaghetti code.

I especially appreciate that you can reference a codemap directly in Cascade, Windsurf's coding assistant:

What do you think? I'm pretty sure other tools like this exist — but it's nice to have this integrated directly into an ADE.

Codemaps brings understanding front and center, not just speed... isn't it impressive?
