# Semantic Code Hunter (Powered by Serena MCP) ## When to Use - "Where do we handle X?" questions - Finding authentication flows - Locating validation logic - Multi-file refactoring - Understanding component relationships - Finding all usages of a symbol - Tracing dependencies ## When NOT to Use - Small projects (< 10 files) - use Grep instead - Simple text searches - use Grep instead - Single-file edits - use Read instead - You already know the exact file ## How It Works Uses Serena MCP tools for semantic understanding: - `find_symbol` - Find symbols by concept, not just name - `find_referencing_symbols` - Trace code relationships - `find_referencing_code_snippets` - Find where code is used - `get_symbols_overview` - Understand file structure first - Token-efficient (70% savings vs traditional search) ## Serena Tools Available ### find_symbol Find symbols globally or locally with/containing a given name/substring. ``` Example: find_symbol("authenticate") Finds: authenticateUser, isAuthenticated, AuthenticationService ``` ### find_referencing_symbols Find symbols that reference another symbol. ``` Example: find_referencing_symbols("User", type="function") Finds: All functions that use the User model ``` ### get_symbols_overview Get high-level overview of symbols in a file. ``` Example: get_symbols_overview("src/services/auth.ts") Returns: List of classes, functions, exports in file ``` ### search_for_pattern Pattern search across project (when semantic search not suff
