serena-file-processing

What problem does it solve?

This skill codifies authoritative rules for using Serena MCP tools to navigate, search, and edit code across Antigravity workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Terminal practices: Enforce using run_command for terminal tasks and prohibiting direct shell calls like mcp_serena_execute_shell_command.
• Navigation workflows: Use view_file_outline first, then grep_search in relevant paths, and finally view_code_item to inspect specific functions or classes.
• Editing patterns: Ensure TargetContent is unique when using replace_file_content or multi_replace_file_content, and validate context with view_file before replacement.
• Memory and safety: Manage large file reads by chunking or using view_child_nodes; avoid unnecessary re-reading and ensure safe edits.
• Integration: Serves as the foundational layer for file operations; higher-level skills rely on it for reliable search and edit operations.

Quick Start

• Use Serena to view the outline of a file via view_file_outline on src/main/app.go, then perform a targeted grep_search for a function name, and inspect it with view_code_item.
