What problem does it solve? Setting up Serena MCP on a new repository requires manual activation, project detection, and knowledge capture. This Skill walks through the full initialization flow so semantic code navigation works immediately on any new codebase. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Project Activation: Checks the current Serena configuration and activates the workspace by absolute path with automatic language detection. - Guided Onboarding: Reads key project files (README, package manifests, entry points) and writes structured memory files covering project overview, suggested commands, and code style conventions. - Setup Verification: Confirms memories were created and provides troubleshooting for common errors like wrong project paths or invalid tool arguments. - Use Case: You clone a new repository and want Serena's semantic editing tools available. Invoke this Skill to activate the project, generate memory files, and verify the setup in one pass. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to initialize Serena for the current workspace and run onboarding to create the project memory files.
