qcoder-semantic-navigator

A guided code-navigation and refactoring workflow for QCoder, a local coding assistant. It uses symbol and syntax searches to understand how code is connected across a large project before changes are made.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover symbols, trace references, diagnose code, perform structural searches, and safely rename or refactor code across multiple files.
Why use it?
It helps locate definitions, references, implementations, and diagnostics without relying on broad manual searching. This reduces the risk of missing affected files during cross-file 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

qcoder-semantic-navigator 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.

What it actually says

QCoder Semantic Navigator

Expected input

Identify the symbol, behavior, pattern, or refactor objective and the active repository. Read the nearest repository instructions before invoking semantic tools.

Required sequence

  1. Activate or confirm the current project with qcoder-serena and load its initial instructions once per session.
  2. Start with get_symbols_overview or find_symbol; request bodies only for the smallest relevant symbols.
  3. Use find_referencing_symbols, implementations, declarations, and diagnostics to map impact before editing.
  4. Use Serena symbolic edits for exact symbol changes. Use pinned ast-grep from .runtime/powerpack/npm/node_modules/.bin/ast-grep.cmd when the task is a syntax-shaped pattern across many files.
  5. Preview every multi-file structural rewrite. Exclude generated, vendor, dependency, cache, artifact, and unrelated dirty paths.
  6. Run the repository's focused tests, type checks, and format gate. Inspect the diff and reference graph again after a rename or deletion.

Serena is untrusted by default and exposes only allowlisted semantic tools. Its raw shell, raw file replacement, and private memory tools remain excluded.

Stop conditions

Stop if the active project differs from the scoped workspace, the symbol result is ambiguous, generated code owns the target, a rewrite crosses unrelated dirty files, or verification cannot establish behavior preservation.

Output format

Report symbols inspected, references affected, exact edits, excluded paths, tests, and any unresolved dynamic references.

Changes

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.
