serena
82 / 100 · Low risk
Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.
By Dianel555/DSkills (GitHub) · coding · 65 stars · scanned at commit fa935e6
Semantic code understanding with IDE-like symbol operations. Use when: (1) Large codebase analysis (>50 files), (2) Symbol-level operations (find, rename, refactor), (3) Cross-file reference tracking, (4) Project memory and session persistence, (5) Multi-language semantic navigation. Triggers: "find symbol", "rename function", "find references", "symbol overview", "project memory". IMPORTANT: Prioritize Serena's symbolic tools over file-based grep/read for code exploration.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'serena' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'serena' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named serena already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/Dianel555/DSkills' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'fa935e64b3aa9ebb5fea7b9d65f4d00cf5fd0796' -- 'skills/serena' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/serena' ~/.agents/skills/'serena' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'serena' ~/.claude/skills/'serena' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
