## What it does

The skill drives Cursor's built-in browser through the app's forms: login and signup, settings and profile, search bars, feedback, checkout, modals with inputs. It finds them with `browser_snapshot`, looking for `form` elements or groups of `input`, `select` and `textarea`.

Each form gets three passes. First an empty submit, where validation errors should show up instead of a server error. Then bad data: `notanemail` in email, `a` in password, `abc` in a number field, `12345` in phone, `not-a-url` in a URL field. Finally realistic data through `browser_fill` or `browser_fill_form`, followed by a check of the success state, `browser_console_messages` and failed calls in `browser_network_requests`.

Edge cases come next: clicking submit twice, pasting a string over 1000 characters, typing `<script>alert('xss')</script>` into a field, and tabbing through to see where focus lands. The run ends with a per-form report marked PASS or FAIL, and the agent fixes what broke. One thing to know: the workflow assumes Cursor's browser, so on Claude or Codex the skill hands your agent the instructions without the tool itself. Worth checking how you plan to run it.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --skill form-testing -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/form-testing/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/form-testing/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --skill form-testing -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/form-testing/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --skill form-testing -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/form-testing/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills form-testing
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/form-testing/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --skill form-testing -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --path resources/form-testing
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/form-testing/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills --skill form-testing -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/spencerpauly/awesome-cursor-skills/tree/HEAD/resources/form-testing/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- submit every form empty and see which ones fail
- catch client-side validation gaps before they hit the server
- confirm a redirect or toast appears after a successful submit
- spot failed API calls triggered by form submission
- check that HTML in input fields gets escaped

## Example prompts
- test every form in the app with Cursor's browser
- check the login form with an empty submit and a bad email
- run the settings form with valid data and check the console for errors

# Form Testing

Systematically test every form in the app using Cursor's built-in browser.

## Workflow

### 1. Find All Forms

Use `browser_snapshot` to get the accessibility tree. Look for `form` elements, or groups of `input`, `select`, `textarea` elements.

Navigate through the app's main pages to discover all forms:
- Login / signup pages
- Settings / profile pages
- Search bars
- Contact / feedback forms
- Checkout flows
- Modals with inputs

### 2. Test Each Form

For each form, run three test passes:

**Pass 1: Empty submission**
- Submit the form with all fields empty
- Verify validation errors appear for required fields
- Check that no server error occurs (should be client-side validation)

**Pass 2: Invalid data**
- Email fields: enter `notanemail`
- Password fields: enter `a` (too short)
- Number fields: enter `abc`
- Phone fields: enter `12345`
- URL fields: enter `not-a-url`
- Check that appropriate error messages appear

**Pass 3: Valid data**
- Fill every field with realistic test data using `browser_fill` or `browser_fill_form`
- Submit the form
- Verify success state (redirect, toast, confirmation message)
- Check `browser_console_messages` for errors
- Check `browser_network_requests` for failed API calls

### 3. Check Edge Cases

- **Double submission**: Click submit twice quickly — should be prevented
- **Long input**: Paste a very long string (1000+ chars) — should be truncated or rejected
- **Special characters**: Enter `<script>alert('xss')</script>` — should be escaped
- **Tab order**: Use `browser_press` with Tab to verify focus moves logically through fields

### 4. Report

```
Form Test Results:
  Login form (/login):
    Empty submit: PASS — shows "Email required", "Password required"
    Invalid email: PASS — shows "Invalid email"
    Valid submit: PASS — redirects to /dashboard
    XSS check: PASS — input escaped

  Settings form (/settings):
    Empty submit: FAIL — submits without validation, returns 500
    Valid submit: PASS — shows "Settings saved" toast
```

Fix any failures found.
