Installing & verifying

Installing Windsurf Migration Deep Dive writes its SKILL.md to ~/.claude/skills/windsurf-migration-deep-dive/SKILL.md; Claude Code discovers it automatically on the next session — no restart flag needed. It declares no allowed-tools restriction, so it inherits your session’s existing tool access rather than narrowing it. To confirm it loaded, ask Claude to list its available skills — windsurf-migration-deep-dive should appear by name.
