Alias Guardian
When to use this skill
- •Run after adding
tsconfigpath aliases or when many long relative imports exist. - •Triggered by prompts to convert
../../..style imports to@/aliases.
Instructions
- •
First Step: Ensure
tsconfig.jsonhaspathsconfigured ("@/*": ["src/*"]) andvite.config.tssupports the aliases (viavite-tsconfig-pathsor manualresolve.alias). - •
Second Step: Use an AST-based tool (e.g.,
jscodeshift,ts-morph) or a controlled regex to find and replace relative import paths. Prefer AST to avoid accidental matches. - •
Third Step: Update affected files' imports to the alias form and run TypeScript to verify no resolution errors.
Examples
- •Before:
import PaperCard from '../../components/molecules/PaperCard' - •After:
import PaperCard from '@/components/molecules/PaperCard'

Notes
- •Always run tests and TypeScript type-check after mass refactors; commit in a dedicated branch and use Git to move files safely.
