description	Guide for checking and fixing Nuxt 4 auto-import usage. Use this when reviewing impors in Vue components, composables, or TypeScript files in a Nuxt 4 project.

Auto-imported = No import statement needed. Use directly.

Fix type errors: Run nuxt prepare to rebuild auto-import list.

Import path: Use ~ prefix in /app (e.g., ~/types/index)

✅ Auto-Imported (No import needed)

• app/components/*.vue - All components
• app/composables/*.ts - All composables
• app/stores/*.ts - All stores
• app/utils/*.ts - Root level only (nested files need imports)
• shared/types/*.ts - Server + App
• shared/utils/*.ts - Server + App
• server/utils/ - Server only

❌ NOT Auto-Imported (Require import)

• app/types/ - Use import type { ... } from '~/types'
• app/utils/nested/ - Nested utils need imports
• app/layouts/, pages/, plugins/, workers/ - All need imports

Action: Remove unnecessary imports for auto-imported modules.
