Remove Crate Prefix Skill

Purpose

This skill enforces the "Clean Imports over Inline Absolute Paths (Mandatory)" rule defined in the project's AGENTS.md. It automatically scans code for inline crate:: prefixes (e.g. crate::Type, crate::Size) and refactors the code to use clean imports at the top of the file or scope.

Rules

Do NOT write absolute inline paths like crate::Type or crate::Size inside function signatures or bodies.

✅ Good:

use crate::{Size, Pos};

pub fn render(size: Size) -> Pos { ... }

❌ Bad:

pub fn render(size: crate::Size) -> crate::Pos { ... }

Exceptions

• Macro invocations often require absolute paths (e.g., crate::key_press!). This rule primarily targets structs, traits, and enums (e.g., crate::ModifierKeysMask).
• Sometimes in generated code or highly isolated scopes, a use crate::{...} block directly inside a function or if block is preferred over a file-level import to minimize scope pollution.

Execution

When invoked:

1. Scan the targeted file(s) for instances of inline crate:: usage for types.
2. Group the required imports into a single use crate::{...}; statement.
3. Remove the crate:: prefix from the inline usages.
4. Verify the changes compile successfully using ./check.fish --check.
