+# CLAUDE.md
+
+This file provides guidance to Claude Code (claude.ai/code) when working with code in this repository.
+
+## Essential Commands
+
+This project uses `uv` for dependency management and `poe` for task orchestration:
+
+- **Linting**: `uv run poe lint` (only allowed command for linting)
+- **Formatting**: `uv run poe format` (only allowed command for formatting) 
+- **Type checking**: `uv run poe type-check` (only allowed command for type checking)
+- **Testing**: `uv run poe test [args]` (preferred) or `uv run pytest [args]`
+
+**Important**: Always run `format`, `type-check` and `test` at the end of tasks to ensure code quality. Fix any issues and re-run until they pass.
+
+## Architecture Overview
+
+Serena is a powerful coding agent toolkit that turns LLMs into fully-featured agents working directly on codebases through semantic code retrieval and editing tools.
+
+### Core Components
+
+- **src/serena/**: Main package containing core functionality
+  - `mcp.py`: Model Context Protocol server implementation
+  - `agno.py`: Agno framework integration for model-agnostic agents
+  - `agent.py`: Core agent implementation with semantic tools
+  - **llm/**: LLM integration modules
+  - **util/**: Utility functions and helpers
+
+- **src/multilspy/**: Language server integration layer
+  - **language_servers/**: Language-specific implementations
+    - Python (pyright/jedi), Java (Eclipse JDTLS), TypeScript/JavaScript
+    - C#, Rust, Go, Ruby, C++, PHP support
+  - Provides semantic code analysis through Language Server Protocol (LSP)
+
+- **src/interprompt/**: Template and prompt management system
+
+### Key Design Principles
+
+- **Semantic Code Understanding**: Uses language servers (LSP) for symbol-level code analysis rather than text-based approaches
+- **Multiple Integration Methods**: Can be used as MCP server, Agno agent, or integrated into custom frameworks  
+- **Language Agnostic**: Supports multiple programming languages through language server adapters
+- **Context and Mode System**: Configurable behavior for different environments (desktop-app, ide-assistant, agent)
+
+### Integration Patterns
+
+- **MCP Server**: Primary integration method for Claude Desktop and other MCP clients
+- **Agno Agent**: Model-agnostic agent framework for any LLM with GUI support
+- **Framework Adapter**: Tools can be adapted to any agent framework (example: SerenaAgnoToolkit)
+
+### Configuration System
+
+Four-layer configuration hierarchy:
+1. `serena_config.yml` - Global settings
+2. CLI arguments - Client-specific overrides  
+3. `.serena/project.yml` - Project-specific settings
+4. Active modes - Runtime behavior modification
+
+The codebase implements sophisticated semantic code operations through language servers, enabling precise symbol-level editing and code understanding that goes beyond simple text manipulation.
+
+## Working on Serena's Code
+
+**Important**: When working on this codebase, remember that you are using Serena's own tools to improve Serena itself. This means:
+
+- You can use Serena's semantic tools (`find_symbol`, `replace_symbol_body`, `search_for_pattern`, etc.) to analyze and edit Serena's own source code
+- When asked to "perform a task on Serena", you're being asked to modify/improve the current Serena codebase
+- You have access to the full power of Serena's semantic code understanding to work on Serena's code
