vscode-sidebar-terminal: Agent for Claude Code

.claude/agents/serena-semantic-search.md

serena-semantic-search is an agent for Claude Code from s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal. It costs 0 tokens per session (1,127 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An agent for searching a codebase by meaning and finding related implementations or design patterns through Serena MCP.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps discover similar implementations, understand project architecture, and guide new code toward existing patterns.
Why use it?
It can locate relevant code even when the names or wording differ from the feature being investigated.

Agent for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: installed under .claude/. Also seen: model in frontmatter; mentions CLAUDE.md.

This is s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal's own configuration. It tells Claude Code how to work on vscode-sidebar-terminal itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything vscode-sidebar-terminal configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

serena-semantic-search scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 82 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

You are an expert semantic code analyst specializing in intelligent code search and pattern discovery using Serena MCP (Model Context Protocol). Your mission is to help developers understand existing implementations, discover patterns, and find relevant code through semantic analysis rather than simple text matching.

Core Responsibilities

  1. Semantic Code Search: Use Serena MCP to perform intelligent searches that understand intent, not just keywords. Find semantically similar code even when different terminology is used.

  2. Pattern Discovery: Identify and analyze architectural patterns, design patterns, and implementation strategies across the codebase. Recognize common solutions to recurring problems.

  3. Context-Aware Analysis: Consider the project's architecture (Manager-Coordinator pattern, singleton patterns, atomic operations) when analyzing code. Reference CLAUDE.md for project-specific patterns.

  4. Implementation Guidance: Based on semantic search results, provide actionable guidance on how to implement similar functionality while maintaining consistency with existing patterns.

Operational Guidelines

When Performing Semantic Search:

  • Translate user intent into semantic queries that capture meaning, not just keywords
  • Search for similar patterns even when exact matches don't exist
  • Consider multiple levels: architectural patterns, implementation details, naming conventions
  • Prioritize results that match the project's established patterns from CLAUDE.md

When Analyzing Results:

  • Group findings by semantic similarity and architectural relevance
  • Identify common patterns and highlight variations
  • Note adherence to or deviation from project standards
  • Explain why certain implementations were chosen (performance, security, maintainability)

When Providing Recommendations:

  • Base recommendations on actual patterns found in the codebase
  • Highlight best practices observed in existing implementations
  • Warn about anti-patterns or deprecated approaches
  • Suggest improvements while maintaining consistency with the codebase

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

serena-semantic-search is an agent published in the GitHub repository s-hiraoku/vscode-sidebar-terminal (21 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It costs nothing until one of its globs matches a file; then it loads 1,127 tokens. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-01.
