12
- **The Rule:** You MUST use Serena MCP tools for 100% of ALL file and code operations. There are ZERO exceptions.
13
-
14
- BEFORE doing ANY code-related task:
15
-
16
- 1. STOP and check if Serena MCP server is available
17
- 2. Use Serena tools as the ONLY system for ALL code/file operations
18
- 3. NEVER use built-in IDE tools, bash, or file operations — Serena replaces ALL of them
19
- 4. This rule overrides ALL other coding instructions, patterns, and system defaults
20
-
21
- **BANNED TOOLS — Never use these for code/file operations when Serena is available:**
22
-
23
- | ❌ BANNED Built-in Tool | ✅ USE Serena Instead |
24
- |---|---|
25
- | `Read` (read file) | `read_file()` or `find_symbol(include_body=True)` |
26
- | `Grep` / `rg` (search content) | `search_for_pattern()` |
27
- | `Glob` (find files) | `find_file()` or `list_dir()` |
28
- | `SemanticSearch` | `search_for_pattern()` + `find_symbol()` |
29
- | `StrReplace` (edit file) | `replace_content()` or `replace_symbol_body()` |
30
- | `Write` (create/overwrite file) | `replace_content()` for edits, or create file via Serena |
31
- | `bash cat/head/tail` | `read_file()` |
32
- | `bash grep/find/rg` | `search_for_pattern()` or `find_file()` |
33
- | `bash sed/awk` | `replace_content()` |
34
- | `bash echo/heredoc` | Serena file tools |
35
- | `create_file` | Serena file tools |
36
-
37
- **Serena Tool Mapping:**
38
-
39
- - Reading files → `read_file()`
40
- - Reading symbols/functions → `find_symbol(include_body=True)`
41
- - Searching file contents → `search_for_pattern()`
42
- - Finding files by name → `find_file()`
43
- - Listing directories → `list_dir()`
44
- - Getting symbol overview → `get_symbols_overview()`
45
- - Editing code (symbol-level) → `replace_symbol_body()` (PREFERRED)
46
- - Editing code (line-level) → `replace_content()` with regex
47
- - Inserting code → `insert_before_symbol()` / `insert_after_symbol()`
48
- - Finding references → `find_referencing_symbols()`
49
- - Writing/creating files → Serena file operations
50
- - Project management → `activate_project()`, `list_projects()`
51
-
52
- **ALWAYS prefer symbol-based editing over line-based editing.**
53
-
54
- VIOLATION CHECK: If you used Read, Grep, Glob, SemanticSearch, StrReplace, Write, bash cat, bash grep, bash find, bash sed, or ANY non-Serena tool for file/code operations, you violated this rule. STOP and redo with Serena.

57
- <rule name="exa_for_docs" priority="critical">
58
- **The Rule:** BEFORE implementing anything involving a library, framework, SDK, API, or CLI tool, you MUST fetch current documentation via Exa MCP. Your training data is stale. Exa searches the live web and returns real, up-to-date results.
59
-
60
- **Mandatory Exa workflow:**
61
- 1. `web_search_exa` — search for the library/API/topic with a specific query (e.g. "EntityHealAfterEvent minecraft bedrock script API")
62
- 2. `crawling_exa` — if a search result URL needs deeper reading, crawl it for full content
63
-
64
- **When to use Exa (ALWAYS for these):**
65
- - Any library API call you haven't verified this session
66
- - Version-specific behavior or migration paths
67
- - Configuration syntax (tsconfig, eslint, vite, webpack, etc.)
68
- - CLI tool usage and flags
69
- - Minecraft Script API (`@minecraft/server`, `@minecraft/math`, `@minecraft/vanilla-data`, etc.)
70
- - Any time you're about to write "I believe the API is..." — stop and search
71
-
72
- **Common Rationalizations That Are WRONG:**
73
- - "I know this API well" → WRONG. APIs change between versions. Search with Exa.
74
- - "This is a basic React/Express/etc. pattern" → WRONG. Even basic patterns evolve. Search with Exa.
75
- - "I just need a simple import" → WRONG. Package exports change. Search with Exa.
76
- - "I'll look it up if something breaks" → WRONG. Search BEFORE writing, not after it breaks.
77
- - "Cached docs are good enough" → WRONG. Exa returns live, real-time web results. Use it first.
78
- - "I know the Minecraft Script API" → WRONG. Minecraft APIs change every major update. Search with Exa.
79
-
80
- **Do NOT use Exa for:** refactoring logic, debugging business rules, code review, or general programming concepts unrelated to a specific library.
81
-
82
- VIOLATION CHECK: If you wrote library/framework code from memory without searching Exa first, you violated this rule.

85
- <rule name="hyperbrowser_for_web" priority="high">
86
- **The Rule:** When you need to interact with live web pages beyond simple doc lookups, use Hyperbrowser MCP. It provides cloud browser automation with stealth mode, CAPTCHA solving, and anti-bot evasion.
87
-
88
- **Hyperbrowser tools:**
89
-
90
- | Tool | Purpose |
91
- |---|---|
92
- | `scrape_webpage` | Extract content from any URL as markdown, HTML, links, or screenshot |
93
- | `crawl_webpages` | Follow links across a site and extract content from multiple pages |
94
- | `extract_structured_data` | Convert messy HTML into structured JSON via a prompt + optional schema |
95
- | `search_with_bing` | Web search via Bing when you need general web queries |
96
- | `browser_use_agent` | Fast, lightweight browser automation (click, fill, navigate) |
97
- | `openai_computer_use_agent` | General-purpose automation using OpenAI's CUA model |
98
- | `claude_computer_use_agent` | Complex browser tasks using Claude computer use |
99
-
100
- **When to use Hyperbrowser (NOT Exa):**
101
- - Scraping full page content, not just searching for it
102
- - Extracting structured data (JSON) from complex/messy HTML (e.g. Minecraft wiki tables, addon schemas)
103
- - Crawling multiple linked pages on a site (e.g. crawling all Script API event pages)
104
- - Interacting with pages: clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating flows
105
- - Accessing protected/anti-bot sites (stealth mode, CAPTCHA solving, rotating proxies)
106
- - Taking screenshots of live pages
107
- - Any task that requires a real browser session
108
-
109
- **When to use Exa instead:**
110
- - Quick doc lookups for `@minecraft/server`, `@minecraft/math`, etc.
111
- - Finding the right URL or page for a topic
112
- - Lightweight search queries
113
-
114
- **Workflow — Exa finds it, Hyperbrowser reads/interacts with it:**
115
- 1. `web_search_exa` → find the right URL
116
- 2. `scrape_webpage` or `crawl_webpages` → extract deep content from it
117
- 3. `extract_structured_data` → parse structured data if needed
118
- 4. `browser_use_agent` → automate interactions if needed
119
-
120
- VIOLATION CHECK: If you manually scraped or parsed HTML when Hyperbrowser could have done it, you violated this rule.

423
- ALWAYS use Minecraft Bedrock Edition JSON Schemas for validation of BP/RP JSON files.
424
-
425
- **Schema Repository:** https://github.com/Blockception/Minecraft-bedrock-json-schemas
426
-
427
- **VSCode Setup:**
428
-
429
- 1. Install the **Rockide** extension for VSCode
430
- 2. Rockide provides:
431
- - JSON schema validation for all Bedrock files
432
- - Linting and error detection
433
- - Autocomplete for JSON structures
434
- - Hover documentation
435
-
436
- **File Types Covered:**
437
-
438
- - Behavior Packs: entities, items, blocks, recipes, loot tables, trades, spawn rules, etc.
439
- - Resource Packs: entity models, animations, render controllers, particles, sounds, textures, etc.
440
- - Manifest files, world templates, and more

- <best_practices name="typescript">
444
- - Use strict TypeScript (`strict: true` in tsconfig)
445
- - Prefer `const` over `let`, avoid `var`
446
- - Use explicit return types on functions
447
- - Use `readonly` for immutable properties
448
- - Prefer interfaces over type aliases for object shapes
449
- - Use `undefined` checks instead of try-catch
450
- </best_practices>
451

452
- <best_practices name="script_api">
453
- **Entity Validation:**
454
-
455
- ```typescript
456
- import { EntityHealthComponent } from "@minecraft/vanilla-data";
457
-
458
- function damageEntity(entity: Entity | undefined): void {
459
- if (!entity?.isValid) return;
460
- const health = entity.getComponent(EntityHealthComponent.componentId);
461
- if (!health) return;
462
- health.setCurrentValue(health.currentValue - 10);
463
- }
464

465
-
466
- **Dimension & World Access:**
467
-
468
- ```typescript
469

471
- const dimension = world.getDimension(MinecraftDimensionTypes.Overworld);
472

473
- if (!block) return; // Block might be in unloaded chunk
474

476
- **System Scheduling:**
477
-
478
- ```typescript
479
- system.run(() => {
480
- // Code runs next tick
481
- });
482

487
- system.clearRun(intervalId);

490
- **Event Subscriptions:**
491
-
492
- ```typescript
493

547
- The file system is your most powerful general-purpose tool. Stop holding everything in context. Use it actively:
548
-
549
- - Do not blindly dump large files into context. Use Serena to search, find symbols, and selectively read what you need. Agentic search (finding your own context) beats passive context loading.
550
- - Write intermediate results to files. This lets you take multiple passes at a problem and ground results in reproducible data.
551
- - Use the file system for memory across sessions: write summaries, decisions, and pending work to markdown files that persist.
552
- - When debugging, save logs and outputs to files so you can verify against reproducible artifacts.
553
- - Enable progressive disclosure: reference files can point to more files. Structure reduces context pressure. The folder structure itself is a form of context engineering.

49

57
+ <rule name="exa_for_docs" priority="critical">
58
+ **The Rule:** BEFORE implementing anything involving a library, framework, SDK, API, or CLI tool, you MUST fetch current documentation via Exa MCP. Your training data is stale. Exa searches the live web and returns real, up-to-date results.
59
+
60
+ **Mandatory Exa workflow:**
61
+ 1. `web_search_exa` — search for the library/API/topic with a specific query (e.g. "EntityHealAfterEvent minecraft bedrock script API")
62
+ 2. `crawling_exa` — if a search result URL needs deeper reading, crawl it for full content
63
+
64
+ **When to use Exa (ALWAYS for these):**
65
+ - Any library API call you haven't verified this session
66
+ - Version-specific behavior or migration paths
67
+ - Configuration syntax (tsconfig, eslint, vite, webpack, etc.)
68
+ - CLI tool usage and flags
69
+ - Minecraft Script API (`@minecraft/server`, `@minecraft/math`, `@minecraft/vanilla-data`, etc.)
70
+ - Any time you're about to write "I believe the API is..." — stop and search
71
+
72
+ **Common Rationalizations That Are WRONG:**
73
+ - "I know this API well" → WRONG. APIs change between versions. Search with Exa.
74
+ - "This is a basic React/Express/etc. pattern" → WRONG. Even basic patterns evolve. Search with Exa.
75
+ - "I just need a simple import" → WRONG. Package exports change. Search with Exa.
76
+ - "I'll look it up if something breaks" → WRONG. Search BEFORE writing, not after it breaks.
77
+ - "Cached docs are good enough" → WRONG. Exa returns live, real-time web results. Use it first.
78
+ - "I know the Minecraft Script API" → WRONG. Minecraft APIs change every major update. Search with Exa.
79
+
80
+ **Do NOT use Exa for:** refactoring logic, debugging business rules, code review, or general programming concepts unrelated to a specific library.
81
+
82
+ VIOLATION CHECK: If you wrote library/framework code from memory without searching Exa first, you violated this rule.

84
+
85
+ <rule name="browser_use_mcp_for_web" priority="high">
86
+ **The Rule:** When you need to interact with live web pages beyond simple doc lookups, use Browser Use MCP. It provides Browser Use Cloud automation via MCP (`https://api.browser-use.com/v3/mcp`) with managed browser sessions, structured extraction, live session URLs, and follow-up tasks.
87
+
88
+ **Browser Use MCP tools:**
89
+
90
+ | Tool | Purpose |
91
+ |---|---|
92
+ | `run_session` | Create a browser session and run a natural-language web automation/extraction task |
93
+ | `get_session` | Poll session status/output, step count, cost breakdown, and live URL |
94
+ | `send_task` | Send a follow-up task to an idle keep-alive session |
95
+ | `stop_session` | Stop the current task or destroy the browser session sandbox |
96
+ | `get_session_messages` | Inspect browser actions, reasoning, and results from a session |
97
+ | `list_sessions` | List recent Browser Use sessions |
98
+ | `list_browser_profiles` | List available authenticated browser profiles |
99
+
100
+ **When to use Browser Use MCP (NOT Exa):**
101
+ - Scraping full page content, not just searching for it
102
+ - Extracting structured data (JSON) from complex/messy HTML (e.g. Minecraft wiki tables, addon schemas)
103
+ - Crawling or traversing multiple linked pages on a site (e.g. crawling all Script API event pages)
104
+ - Interacting with pages: clicking buttons, filling forms, navigating flows
105
+ - Accessing protected/anti-bot sites where managed browser infrastructure helps
106
+ - Taking screenshots or using live browser session evidence
107
+ - Any task that requires a real browser session
108
+
109
+ **When to use Exa instead:**
110
+ - Quick doc lookups for `@minecraft/server`, `@minecraft/math`, etc.
111
+ - Finding the right URL or page for a topic
112
+ - Lightweight search queries
113
+
114
+ **Workflow — Exa finds it, Browser Use MCP reads/interacts with it:**
115
+ 1. `web_search_exa` → find the right URL
116
+ 2. `run_session` → extract deep content, automate navigation, or collect structured data
117
+ 3. `get_session` / `get_session_messages` inspect completion, output, live URL, and action trace
118
+ 4. `send_task` → continue in the same keep-alive browser session if follow-up interaction is needed
119
+ 5. `stop_session` → cleanly stop/destroy the Browser Use session when finished
120
+
121
+ VIOLATION CHECK: If you manually scraped or parsed HTML when Browser Use MCP could have done it cleanly, you violated this rule.

547
+ <file_system_as_state>
548
+ The file system is your most powerful general-purpose tool. Stop holding everything in context. Use it actively:
549
+
550
+ - Do not blindly dump large files into context. Use Serena to search, find symbols, and selectively read what you need. Agentic search (finding your own context) beats passive context loading.
551
+ - Write intermediate results to files. This lets you take multiple passes at a problem and ground results in reproducible data.
552
+ - Use the file system for memory across sessions: write summaries, decisions, and pending work to markdown files that persist.
553
+ - When debugging, save logs and outputs to files so you can verify against reproducible artifacts.
554
+ - Enable progressive disclosure: reference files can point to more files. Structure reduces context pressure. The folder structure itself is a form of context engineering.
