Blog: Windsurf persistent memory

[benfrank241]

Adds a blog post for the hindsight-windsurf integration: persistent long-term memory for Windsurf's Cascade agent.

Angle

Windsurf is the odd one out among the IDE integrations — it exposes no third-party lifecycle hooks, so memory is wired through a remote MCP server + one always-on workspace rule rather than sessionStart/stop hook scripts. The post leads with that distinction and is direct about the tradeoff (model-driven recall vs. the deterministic guarantees of hook-based integrations like Cursor/Claude Code).

Grounded in the real integration (hindsight-integrations/windsurf): init flow, the verbatim installed rule, recall/retain/reflect tools, Cloud vs. self-host, bank scoping, and the status/uninstall/--print-only commands.

Details

• File: hindsight-docs/blog/2026-06-25-windsurf-persistent-memory.md
• Follows the series formula (TL;DR, truncate, FAQ, Further reading) and the Vectorize style guide.
• Internal links to /what-is-agent-memory, /articles/best-ai-agent-memory-systems, and the sibling Cursor/Cline posts.

Before merge

• Cover image: add hindsight-docs/static/img/blog/windsurf-persistent-memory.png (frontmatter image: + hero reference point at it; placeholder for now, same as other integration posts).
• Confirm publish date (2026-06-25).

Draft until the cover image lands.

Superseded by #2483. Cognition rebranded Windsurf/Codeium to Devin Desktop (June 2026) and the integration dir was renamed windsurf -> devin-desktop, so this Windsurf post is replaced by the Devin Desktop post in #2483 (same product, current name). Closing; also deleting the branch.
