Refactors .NET codebases safely using symbol-level awareness and automatic reference updates via Serena MCP.
The .NET Serena Refactoring skill empowers developers to perform complex codebase transformations with high precision within the Claude Code environment. By utilizing Serena MCP's symbol-aware capabilities, the skill identifies all references accurately across entire projects, moving beyond the limitations of simple text-based search and replace. It automates intricate tasks such as renaming classes, extracting logic into new methods, moving types between files, and updating method signatures while maintaining compile-time safety. This skill reduces the risk of breaking changes in C# projects by integrating verification steps, ensuring that architectural improvements are both efficient and stable.
