Serena MCP Tools — Semantic code analysis and editing with clangd for C++20 and Python
Use for any question about a codebase, its architecture, file relationships, or project content — especially when graphify-out/ exists, where the question should be treated as a graphify query first. Turns any input (code, docs, papers, images, videos) into a persistent knowledge graph with god nodes, community detection, and query/path/explain tools.
Drives a live Spectra instance via the embedded MCP automation server (default http://127.0.0.1:8765/mcp). Use for smoke tests, screenshots, UI commands, figure/series setup, and visual debugging after builds — whenever validating rendering without writing a harness.
Spectra Agent Skill Set
Plan, design, and implement Spectra C++/GLSL/Python changes. Use when breaking down a feature, making architecture decisions before coding, or writing/fixing source in src/, include/spectra/, shaders, tests, or python/.
Spectra git and release workflows: conventional commits, branches, PRs, version bumps, release tags, merge conflicts, changelog. Use for commit, branch, PR, release, version.txt, squash merge, cherry-pick, or git status/diff questions.
Fix or edit Spectra GitHub Actions (.github/workflows). Use for CI failures, new matrix jobs, golden/sanitizer jobs, release.yml, lavapipe/xvfb setup, or masking vs root-cause CI fixes.
Runs Spectra visual QA with spectra_qa_agent --design-review: 57 screenshots, triage P0–P3 in plans/QA_design_review.md, minimal theme/ImGui fixes. Use for UI polish, visual bugs, design review, or screenshot regressions.
