Semantic code navigation and editing via Serena MCP — symbol-level tools required over grep/find/manual edits. Used by speq agents during a speq plan, implement, or record run. Not for general coding.

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

# Code Tools

Semantic code navigation and editing via Serena MCP, if available. The user installs Serena globally, so the tool prefix varies (for example `mcp__serena__find_symbol`). This skill refers to the tools by short name below.

## Before First Use Each Session

1. These tools are deferred in this harness — a bare tool name has no loaded schema yet. Call `ToolSearch` with the query `serena` to find them, then load the ones you need (`select:<full tool name>`, comma-separated for several) before calling them.
2. If `ToolSearch` finds no Serena tools, carry on with the generic tools (`Read`, `Grep`, `Edit`). Do not warn and do not stop.

## Tool Preference

When Serena is available, use these instead of the generic alternative for anything this table covers. Symbol-level tools return exact definitions and references and edit whole symbols, where text search and line edits miss or break them.

| Task | Use |
|------|-----|
| List directory | `list_dir` |
| Find files | `find_file` |
| File symbols | `get_symbols_overview` |
| Symbol definition | `find_symbol` |
| Symbol declaration | `find_declaration` |
| Symbol references | `find_referencing_symbols` |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add marconae/speq-skill/speq-code-tools@sha256:8f6f818a389c47e5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.5b73638, 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.
