-## Developer Environment Setup
+### Adding Support for a New Language Server
 
-You can have a local setup via `uv` or a docker interpreter-based setup. 
-The repository is also configured to seamlessly work within a GitHub Codespace. See the instructions
-for the various setup scenarios below.
+See the corresponding [memory](.serena/memories/adding_new_language_support_guide.md).
 
-Independently of how the setup was done, the virtual environment can be 
-created and activated via `uv` (see below), and the various tasks like formatting, testing, and documentation building
-can be executed using `poe`. For example, `poe format` will format the code, including the 
-notebooks. Just run `poe` to see the available commands.

-## Running Tools Locally
+## Poe Tasks
+
+We use poe to execute development tasks:
+
+- `poe format` - run code auto-formatters
+- `poe type-check` - run type checkers

+## Testing Tool Executions
 
 The Serena tools (and in fact all Serena code) can be executed without an LLM, and also without
 any MCP specifics (though you can use the mcp inspector, if you want).
 
-An example script for running tools is provided in [scripts/demo_run_tools.py](scripts/demo_run_tools.py).
