-# Rationalize Dependencies
-
-This skill analyzes Cargo.toml dependencies to identify and remove unused features.
-
-## Overview
-
-Many crates enable features by default that may not be needed. This skill:
-1. Identifies dependencies with default features enabled
-2. Tests if `default-features = false` works
-3. Identifies which specific features are actually needed
-4. Verifies compilation after changes
-
-## Step 1: Identify the target
-
-Ask the user which crate(s) to analyze:
-- A specific crate name (e.g., "tokio", "serde")
-- A specific workspace member (e.g., "quickwit-search")
-- "all" to scan the entire workspace
-
-## Step 2: Analyze current dependencies
-
-For the workspace Cargo.toml (`quickwit/Cargo.toml`), list dependencies that:
-- Do NOT have `default-features = false`
-- Have default features that might be unnecessary
-
-Run: `cargo tree -p <crate> -f "{p} {f}" --edges features` to see what features are actually used.
-
-## Step 3: For each candidate dependency
-
-### 3a: Check the crate's default features
-
-Look up the crate on crates.io or check its Cargo.toml to understand:
-- What features are enabled by default
-- What each feature provides
-
-Use: `cargo metadata --format-version=1 | jq '.packages[] | select(.name == "<crate>") | .features'`
-
-### 3b: Try disabling default features
-
-Modify the dependency in `quickwit/Cargo.toml`:
-
-From:
-```toml
-some-crate = { version = "1.0" }
-```
-
-To:
-```toml
-some-crate = { version = "1.0", default-features = false }
-```
-
-### 3c: Run cargo check
-
-Run: `cargo check --workspace` (or target specific packages for faster feedback)
-
-If compilation fails:
-1. Read the error messages to identify which features are needed
-2. Add only the required features explicitly:
-   ```toml
-   some-crate = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["needed-feature"] }
-   ```
-3. Re-run cargo check
-
-### 3d: Binary search for minimal features
-
-If there are many default features, use binary search:
-1. Start with no features
-2. If it fails, add half the default features
-3. Continue until you find the minimal set
-
-## Step 4: Document findings
-
-For each dependency analyzed, report:
-- Original configuration
-- New configuration (if changed)
-- Features that were removed
-- Any features that are required
-
-## Step 5: Verify full build
-
-After all changes, run:
-```bash
-cargo check --workspace --all-targets
-cargo test --workspace --no-run
-```
-
-## Common Patterns
-
-### Serde
-Often only needs `derive`:
-```toml
-serde = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["derive", "std"] }
-```
-
-### Tokio
-Identify which runtime features are actually used:
-```toml
-tokio = { version = "1.0", default-features = false, features = ["rt-multi-thread", "macros", "sync"] }
-```
-
-### Reqwest
-Often doesn't need all TLS backends:
-```toml
-reqwest = { version = "0.11", default-features = false, features = ["rustls-tls", "json"] }
-```
-
-## Rollback
-
-If changes cause issues:
-```bash
-git checkout quickwit/Cargo.toml
-cargo check --workspace
-```
-
-## Tips
-
-- Start with large crates that have many default features (tokio, reqwest, hyper)
-- Use `cargo bloat --crates` to identify large dependencies
-- Check `cargo tree -d` for duplicate dependencies that might indicate feature conflicts
-- Some features are needed only for tests - consider using `[dev-dependencies]` features

-
-# Simple PR
-
-Follow these steps to create a simple PR from staged changes:
-
-## Step 1: Check workspace state
-
-Run: `git status`
-
-Verify that all changes have been staged (no unstaged changes). If there are unstaged changes, abort and ask the user to stage their changes first with `git add`.
-
-Also verify that we are on the `main` branch. If not, abort and ask the user to switch to main first.
-
-## Step 2: Ensure main is up to date
-
-Run: `git pull origin main`
-
-This ensures we're working from the latest code.
-
-## Step 3: Review staged changes
-
-Run: `git diff --cached`
-
-Review the staged changes to understand what the PR will contain.
-
-## Step 4: Generate commit message
-
-Based on the staged changes, generate a concise commit message (1-2 sentences) that describes the "why" rather than the "what".
-
-Display the proposed commit message to the user and ask for confirmation before proceeding.
-
-## Step 5: Create a new branch
-
-Get the git username: `git config user.name | tr ' ' '-' | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`
-
-Create a short, descriptive branch name based on the changes (e.g., `fix-typo-in-readme`, `add-retry-logic`, `update-deps`).
-
-Create and checkout the branch: `git checkout -b {username}/{short-descriptive-name}`
-
-## Step 6: Commit changes
-
-Commit with the message from step 3:
-```
-git commit -m "{commit-message}"
-```
-
-## Step 7: Push and open a PR
-
-Push the branch and open a PR:
-```
-git push -u origin {branch-name}
-gh pr create --title "{commit-message-title}" --body "{longer-description-if-needed}"
-```
-
-Report the PR URL to the user when complete.
