`autoRun` parameter not working in `windsurf://` deep link URL scheme

[umangmaurya]

When using the Windsurf deep link URL scheme to open Cascade with a pre-filled prompt, the autoRun=true parameter does not automatically execute the prompt. The window opens and the prompt is populated correctly, but the user must manually press Enter to run it.

Current Behavior:

windsurf-next://cascade/newChat?folder=/path/to/workspace&prompt=/pr-review%20https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123&autoRun=true

• ✅ Opens Windsurf
• ✅ Opens new Cascade chat
• ✅ Sets the correct folder/workspace
• ✅ Populates the prompt field with /pr-review https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123
• ❌ Does NOT auto-execute the prompt

Expected Behavior:
The prompt should automatically execute when autoRun=true is set, similar to how other IDEs (like VS Code with certain extensions) support auto-execution via deep links.

Use Case:
I'm trying to create automation workflows that trigger Windsurf global workflows (like /pr-review) directly from external tools (CI/CD pipelines, browser extensions, scripts, etc.). Without auto-execution, users must manually interact with Windsurf after the link opens, which defeats the purpose of the automation.

Environment:

• OS: macOS (also affects Linux/Windows)
• Windsurf Version: [your version - run windsurf --version]
• URL Schemes Tested: windsurf://

Questions:

1. Is autoRun a supported parameter? If not, what is the correct parameter name?
2. Is there a Windsurf setting that needs to be enabled to allow auto-execution from deep links?
3. Are there alternative parameters like submit=true or run=true that work?

Suggested Solution:
Please either:

1. Enable the autoRun parameter functionality, or
2. Document the correct URL scheme parameters and their usage, or
3. Add a Windsurf setting to opt-in to auto-execution from deep links (for security-conscious users)

Additional Context:
This would greatly improve automation workflows, especially for:

• PR review automation triggered from GitHub/GitLab
• Custom CLI tools that invoke Windsurf workflows
• Browser extensions for code review
• CI/CD pipeline integrations
