## What it does

The skill kicks in when you ask an agent to design, critique or build a form: registration, payment, cart, subscription, survey, file upload. It also handles screenshots, wireframes and existing HTML, CSS or React components.

What's inside is a set of principles and reusable cards. The agent starts from the user's goal rather than the database fields, and looks for questions to remove, defer or infer before adding a new one. From there it covers label placement, native controls, help text, validation after a field is finished, and progress indicators that don't lie.

Scope limits are spelled out too. General page layout, marketing copy and backend work around payments, tax and PCI stay out. If your form is a dense expert workflow where people compare many related answers, the skill itself advises against splitting it into one question per page.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --skill forms-inputs-checkout -a claude-code
```

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

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --skill forms-inputs-checkout -a codex
```

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

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --skill forms-inputs-checkout -a cursor
```

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

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills forms-inputs-checkout
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/forms-inputs-checkout/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --skill forms-inputs-checkout -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --path forms-inputs-checkout
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

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

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills --skill forms-inputs-checkout -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/hueyexe/frontend-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/forms-inputs-checkout/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- cut unnecessary fields from a signup form
- pick between radio buttons and a select box
- write an error message that doesn't scold the user
- build a checkout without forced account creation
- check keyboard accessibility on a form

## Example prompts
- review this checkout form and tell me which fields I can drop
- look at this registration screenshot: labels, errors, field order
- rewrite the validation in this React component so it fires after the field is done

# Forms, Inputs, and Checkout

## Purpose

Help an agent design, critique, and implement clear, accessible, high-conversion forms, inputs, validation, and checkout flows.

Treat every form as a barrier between a person and a goal. The agent's job is to reduce that barrier without collecting bad data, hiding meaningful choices, or weakening accessibility, privacy, legal, or business requirements.

## When to use this skill

Use this skill for:

- Checkout, cart, payment, shipping, billing, promo-code, account, registration, sign-in, onboarding, subscription, lead-capture, support, survey, settings, profile, upload, and data-entry forms.
- Critiquing screenshots, wireframes, Figma descriptions, HTML/CSS/React components, design-system components, or product flows involving forms.
- Choosing labels, input controls, grouping, progress indicators, defaults, validation, error messages, help text, submit states, and success states.
- Making frontend guidance for semantic HTML forms, accessible names, focus, keyboard flow, validation, and responsive behavior.

## When not to use this skill

Do not use this skill for:

- General page layout, landing pages, navigation, marketing content, or visual brand work unless the page contains a form or checkout decision.
- Backend data modeling, fraud detection, tax, legal, PCI/security implementation, or payment processor integration details beyond UX/frontend implications.
- General conversion-copy work outside form context.
- Native platform-specific form controls when the user explicitly asks for a platform guideline not covered by the source material. In that case, ask or use the appropriate platform skill/source.

## Core principles

1. **Start outside-in.** Begin with the user's goal and the moment in their journey, not with the database fields the organization wants.
2. **Remove, defer, infer, or default before designing another field.** Every question creates effort and the possibility of error.
3. **Make the path to completion visually obvious.** A form should have a clear scan line from title to first question to final action.
4. **Use controls that match the question.** Prefer native, semantic form controls and visible options when the number of options is small.
5. **Use labels as durable context.** Do not rely on placeholder-only labels for anything longer than a trivial, familiar, one-field interaction.
6. **Validate to help, not to scold.** Validate after a person has finished an answer, prevent avoidable errors, and provide remedies in context.
