## Prerequisites

- Windsurf Enterprise subscription with admin access
- Organization administrator role
- Access to billing portal
- User directory integration (optional: SCIM, Azure AD, Okta)
- Understanding of organization structure and teams

## Instructions

1. **Inventory Current Licenses**
2. **Set Allocation Policies**
3. **Configure Usage Tracking**
4. **Optimize Subscription**
5. **Monitor and Report**


See `{baseDir}/references/implementation.md` for detailed implementation guide.

## Output

- License inventory with current allocations
- Utilization reports with recommendations
- Cost analysis with optimization opportunities

Overview

This skill manages Windsurf enterprise licenses and seat allocation to reduce cost and ensure compliance. It streamlines provisioning, seat reclamation, usage tracking, and subscription optimization for organizations. Administrators get actionable reports and recommendations to align license tiers with real usage.

How this skill works

The skill inventories current licenses and maps them to users, teams, and billing units. It tracks active usage patterns, identifies idle or duplicate seats, and models cost impact of alternative subscription tiers. Administrators can run reclaim operations, export compliance reports, and receive optimization suggestions based on utilization thresholds.

When to use it

You need to provision or deprovision Windsurf users at scale
You want to reduce subscription costs by reclaiming unused seats
Preparing for an audit or generating compliance reports
Analyzing utilization to right-size license tiers for teams
Integrating license state with SCIM or enterprise identity providers

Best practices

Start with a full inventory and map licenses to business units before making changes
Set clear allocation policies (roles, inactive timeouts, approval flows) and enforce them automatically
Use usage thresholds and periodic reviews to reclaim seats rather than blanket removals
Integrate with directory services (SCIM, Azure AD, Okta) to keep assignments synchronized
Run cost-simulation reports before changing subscription tiers to validate savings

Example use cases

Audit current Windsurf seat assignments for a 500-person organization and produce a compliance report
Identify and reclaim seats idle for 90+ days to reduce the upcoming renewal invoice
Compare current plan costs to higher-capacity tiers and recommend the most cost-effective option
Provision a batch of new users for a pilot team and automatically assign temporary seats
Integrate license status into billing dashboards for finance and IT stakeholders

FAQ

What permissions are required to run license operations?

An organization administrator role with access to Windsurf billing and license administration is required.

Can this skill sync with our identity provider?

Yes. It is designed to integrate with SCIM-compatible directories and common providers like Azure AD and Okta.
