serena-development

What problem does it solve?

This Skill enforces Serena MCP as the primary workflow for coding tasks, ensuring consistent use of Serena for code exploration, reference tracking, and editing to reduce context switching.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Serena-first workflow: All coding exploration, edits, and reference lookups are performed through Serena MCP when available.
• Onboarding & project lifecycle: It validates and initializes Serena-enabled projects, onboarding status, and memory persistence to maintain context across sessions.
• Use Case: In a multi-module project, ask the agent to locate a function, trace its usages, and implement changes, guided entirely by Serena MCP.

Quick Start

Start a Serena-enabled coding session by performing the onboarding steps: check current config with mcp_serena_get_current_config, activate the project if needed with mcp_serena_activate_project, verify onboarding with mcp_serena_check_onboarding_performed, run onboarding if required with mcp_serena_onboarding, and persist memory with mcp_serena_write_memory.
