# for clients that do not read the initial instructions when the MCP server is connected.
# * `insert_after_symbol`: Inserts content after the end of the definition of a given symbol.
# * `insert_before_symbol`: Inserts content before the beginning of the definition of a given symbol.
# * `list_dir`: Lists files and directories in the given directory (optionally with recursion).
# * `list_memories`: List available memories. Any memory can be read using the `read_memory` tool.
# * `onboarding`: Performs onboarding (identifying the project structure and essential tasks, e.g. for testing or building).
# * `read_file`: Reads a file within the project directory.
# * `read_memory`: Read the content of a memory file. This tool should only be used if the information
# is relevant to the current task. You can infer whether the information
# is relevant from the memory file name.
# You should not read the same memory file multiple times in the same conversation.
# * `rename_memory`: Renames or moves a memory. Moving between project and global scope is supported
# (e.g., renaming "global/foo" to "bar" moves it from global to project scope).
# * `rename_symbol`: Renames a symbol throughout the codebase using language server refactoring capabilities.
# For JB, we use a separate tool.
# * `replace_content`: Replaces content in a file (optionally using regular expressions).
# * `replace_symbol_body`: Replaces the full definition of a symbol using the language server backend.
# * `safe_delete_symbol`:
# * `search_for_pattern`: Performs a search for a pattern in the project.
# * `write_memory`: Write some information (utf-8-encoded) about this project that can be useful for future tasks to a memory in md format.
# The memory name should be meaningful.
excluded_tools:[]
# list of tools to include that would otherwise be disabled (particularly optional tools that are disabled by default).
# This extends the existing inclusions (e.g. from the global configuration).
included_optional_tools:[]
# fixed set of tools to use as the base tool set (if non-empty), replacing Serena's default set of tools.
# This cannot be combined with non-empty excluded_tools or included_optional_tools.
fixed_tools:[]
# list of mode names to that are always to be included in the set of active modes
# The full set of modes to be activated is base_modes + default_modes.
# If the setting is undefined, the base_modes from the global configuration (serena_config.yml) apply.
# Otherwise, this setting overrides the global configuration.
# Set this to [] to disable base modes for this project.
# Set this to a list of mode names to always include the respective modes for this project.
base_modes:
# list of mode names that are to be activated by default.
# The full set of modes to be activated is base_modes + default_modes.
# If the setting is undefined, the default_modes from the global configuration (serena_config.yml) apply.
# Otherwise, this overrides the setting from the global configuration (serena_config.yml).
# This setting can, in turn, be overridden by CLI parameters (--mode).
default_modes:
# initial prompt for the project. It will always be given to the LLM upon activating the project
# (contrary to the memories, which are loaded on demand).
initial_prompt:""
# time budget (seconds) per tool call for the retrieval of additional symbol information
# such as docstrings or parameter information.
# This overrides the corresponding setting in the global configuration; see the documentation there.
# If null or missing, use the setting from the global configuration.
symbol_info_budget:
# list of regex patterns which, when matched, mark a memory entry as read‑only.
# Extends the list from the global configuration, merging the two lists.
read_only_memory_patterns:[]
# list of regex patterns for memories to completely ignore.
# Matching memories will not appear in list_memories or activate_project output
# and cannot be accessed via read_memory or write_memory.
# To access ignored memory files, use the read_file tool on the raw file path.
# Extends the list from the global configuration, merging the two lists.
# Example: ["_archive/.*", "_episodes/.*"]
