Serena is a coding agent toolkit that provides semantic code retrieval and symbol-level analysis, extending Claude's ability to navigate and edit code like an IDE.

How do I access the Serena dashboard?

Once installed and running, you can access the local Serena dashboard at http://localhost:24282/dashboard/index.html.

Which version of Claude Code is compatible?

This skill requires Claude Code version 1.0.52 or later to ensure the MCP server system prompts are correctly processed.

What happens if a symbol is not found during a search?

If a symbol cannot be located, you may need to run 'serena index' within your project directory to rebuild the project's semantic index.
