serena

serena is a skill for Claude Code from datit309/supergraph. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,481 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A code-navigation and editing skill that uses a language server to understand symbols, types, and relationships in a codebase. A language server is a tool that provides features such as finding definitions and detecting type errors.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to map a project, find symbols and their callers, inspect type diagnostics, rename symbols across files, safely remove symbols, and check for leftover references.
Why use it?
It helps assess the effects of changes across files and find broken references before or during a refactor. It is intended for work such as renaming symbols, changing APIs, and checking architectural changes.

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 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 yesterday.

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 — 164 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/supergraph:serena

Activate Serena MCP for LSP-powered code intelligence: symbol navigation, type diagnostics, and safe code surgery.

CRITICAL: Call initial_instructions first when starting any Serena work — it loads the Serena Instructions Manual with project-specific context.

When to Use

  • Before complex refactors: rename across codebase, API signature changes
  • When blast radius is unclear and graph tools lack symbol-level depth
  • Before review: verify all call sites of changed symbols are updated
  • During fix: triage type errors before running test suite
  • After architectural changes: verify no orphaned references remain
  • Large-scale refactors: safe_delete_symbol, rename_symbol across entire project

Setup

1. Load instructions (MANDATORY first step)

mcp__plugin_serena_serena__initial_instructions()
# or
mcp__serena__initial_instructions()

2. Activate project

mcp__plugin_serena_serena__activate_project()

3. Get project overview

mcp__plugin_serena_serena__get_symbols_overview()

Returns top-level symbols, classes, functions — fast structural map of the codebase.

Tool Reference

Navigation

Tool Use case
find_symbol Locate a symbol by name across codebase
find_declaration Jump to where a symbol is declared
find_implementations Find all implementations of an interface / abstract class
find_referencing_symbols Find all callers and usages of a symbol

Setup / Lifecycle

Tool Use case
activate_project Register project with Serena — requires mcp__plugin_serena_serena__ namespace
get_current_config Read Serena's current project configuration
open_dashboard Open the Serena dashboard UI
execute_shell_command Run shell commands (use with caution — confirm before destructive ops)

Diagnostics

Tool Use case
get_diagnostics_for_file IDE-level type errors, lint warnings for a specific file
get_symbols_overview Project structure overview — top-level symbols map

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
