Give a coding agent symbol-aware lookup, cross-file rename, and structural edit tools before it starts making brittle text-only changes.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Add IDE-style semantic code navigation and symbol-safe refactors to coding agents through Serena Give a coding agent symbol-aware lookup, cross-file rename, and structural edit tools before it starts making brittle text-only changes. ## Prerequisites Serena installation, an MCP-compatible coding agent or client, supported language server or project environment, local repository access ## Installation Choose whichever fits your setup: 1. Copy this skill folder into your local skills directory. 2. Clone the repo and symlink or copy the skill into your agent workspace. 3. Add the repo as a git submodule if you manage shared skills centrally. 4. Install it through your internal provisioning or packaging workflow. 5. Download the folder directly from GitHub and place it in your skills collection. Install command or upstream instructions: ``` Install Serena using the upstream quick-start instructions, connect it to the target coding agent through MCP, then enable its semantic navigation and refactor tools for the repository you want the agent to edit. ``` ## Documentation - https://oraios.github.io/serena ## Source …

How to install
mdr add agentskillexchange/skills/add-ide-style-semantic-code-navigation-and-symbol-safe-refactors-to-coding-agents-through-serena@sha256:7062fabab095240aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260710.2925510, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
