System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Serena enforces the use of semantic tooling over text-based approaches for code navigation, symbol discovery, and safe edits, dramatically reducing errors under load.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Semantic symbol navigation (find_symbol, find_referencing_symbols, get_symbols_overview)
  • Symbol-level editing (insert_before_symbol, insert_after_symbol, rename_symbol, replace_symbol_body)
  • Fallback safety guidance (onboarding, activate_project, and LSP unavailability handling)
  • Use case examples: locating definitions, refactoring across large codebases, and rapid impact analysis

Quick Start

Describe your coding task to Serena and instruct it to always prefer semantic tools, onboarding if required
