We show that the yield ratio of free spectator neutrons produced in high-energy $^{96}$Zr+$^{96}$Zr to $^{96}$Ru+$^{96}$Ru collisions is a clean probe of the neutron-skin thickness of colliding nuclei and the slope parameter $L$ of symmetry energy. The idea is demonstrated based on the proton and neutron density distributions via a state-of-the-art Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculation, and the production of free spectator neutrons via a coalescence approach and the popular GEMINI model to describe, respectively, the cluster formation and deexcitation among spectator nucleons. More free neutrons are produced in collisions of $^{96}$Zr nucleus due to its larger neutron skin, leading to an enhanced ratio of neutron multiplicities in $^{96}$Zr+$^{96...
