Serena Memory System

Serena Memory System Skill

This skill grants access to the serena MCP tools, which provide persistent memory and context awareness for the agent.

When to use

• Recalling user preferences or project history.
• Storing new "memories" or learnings for future sessions.
• searching for files or symbols using Serena's semantic index.

Available Tools (Context Loaded)

The following tools are available via the serena MCP server:

Memory Management

• mcp__serena__list_memories: Retrieve stored memories.
• mcp__serena__think_about_collected_information: Process and synthesize information.
• mcp__serena__onboarding: Access onboarding information.

Semantic Search

• mcp__serena__find_file: Find files semantically.
• mcp__serena__find_symbol: Find code symbols semantically.

Best Practices

1. Check Memory First: Before asking the user for repetitive info, check if it's stored in memory.
2. Synthesize: Use think_about_collected_information to consolidate complex context.

Example Workflow

1. User: "What was the design pattern we decided on?"
2. Agent: Calls mcp__serena__list_memories to search for design decisions.
