Devin Desktop

Setup for Devin Desktop using the Windsurf compatibility adapter

Connect AIWG to Devin Desktop

Prompt-first procedure: Describe the outcome you want in your agent conversation. The agent should select and load the appropriate AIWG assets, explain material changes, request any needed approval, and report verification evidence. Exact commands and flags appear only in the CLI reference.

For the complete first-time journey, start with Install, Connect, and Verify.

Open a terminal in the project folder you use with Devin Desktop:

Use AIWG to complete this documented outcome: Open a terminal in the project folder you use with Devin Desktop
Have it inspect the current state, explain the plan, ask before material
changes, and report the result with verification evidence.

Reload Devin Desktop in that folder. Invoke the agent-owned context regeneration procedure, review the preview, and let it tailor the project context without replacing your instructions. Ask it to verify the project root, `.windsurf/` context, installed frameworks, and one useful next action.

If Node.js/npm are not working, follow Install Node.js and npm Safely. Agent/operator details live in the Devin Desktop operational reference.

AIWG intentionally retains the `.windsurf/` paths used by the compatibility adapter. The older `the provider option windsurf` selector still works with a deprecation notice. The separate `devin-cli` provider is not yet supported.
