Decompiling Windsurf protos

Working as of 2026-01-30 (Windsurf 1.13.14 / Extension 1.48.2)

New workflow (current builds: workbench.desktop.main.js)

  1. Run extract_sources.js to copy the necessary files from your Windsurf build:
pnpm run decompile:extract
  1. Run prepare_decompile.js to format the file for decompilation and extract just the proto/service definitions:
pnpm run decompile:prepare
  1. Run build_protos.js to generate the .proto files:
pnpm run decompile:build

After a successful run, the WINDSURF_VERSION metadata and generated .proto files are synced into the repo’s canonical protos/ directory.

Legacy workflow (older builds: chat.js)

  1. Get chat.js using VSCode dev tools from the Windsurf cascade panel.
  2. Place it in this folder as chat.js.
  3. Format it.
  4. Run pnpm exec node build_protos.js ./chat.js.
  5. It will fail with something like document is not defined on line <LINE>.
  6. Go to chat.js and remove everything starting from that line.
  7. Run pnpm exec node find_services.js (it prints something like module.exports = { ... }).
  8. Copy the output and place it at the end of chat.js.
  9. Run pnpm exec node build_protos.js ./chat.js again. It should produce protos in the protos/ folder.

No need to do it every time; protos are committed to the repo. Use this if something stopped working.
