name: import-formatter description: Format and organize import statements in code files. Use when imports are messy, unordered, or need to follow project conventions. Automatically groups imports by type (standard library, third-party, local) and sorts them alphabetically.

Import Formatter Skill

Instructions

1. Identify all import statements in the file
2. Group imports into three categories:
   • Standard library imports (Python stdlib, Node.js built-ins, etc.)
   • Third-party imports (from npm, pip, etc.)
   • Local/project imports (relative or absolute project paths)
3. Sort each group alphabetically
4. Add blank lines between groups (standard library, third-party, local)
5. Remove duplicate imports
6. Consolidate imports from the same module when possible
7. Preserve import aliases and type-only imports
8. Follow language-specific conventions (e.g., Python PEP 8, JavaScript ES6 modules)

Examples

Input (Python):

Copyfrom typing import List, Dict
import os
from myapp.models import User
import requests
from typing import Optional
from myapp.utils import helper

Output:

Copyimport os
from typing import Dict, List, Optional

import requests

from myapp.models import User
from myapp.utils import helper

Input (JavaScript/TypeScript):

Copyimport { useState } from 'react'
import './styles.css'
import axios from 'axios'
import { Component } from './Component'
import { useEffect } from 'react'

Output:

Copyimport { useEffect, useState } from 'react'

import axios from 'axios'

import { Component } from './Component'
import './styles.css'

Language-Specific Rules

Python:

• Standard library first
• Third-party packages second
• Local imports last
• Use absolute imports when possible
• Group by package, then alphabetically

JavaScript/TypeScript:

• External packages first (node_modules)
• Internal modules second
• Relative imports last
• Side-effect imports (CSS, etc.) at the end
