Use with AI agents

Install the Form, Please skill in a project that uses the library. The skill tells a compatible coding agent to read the current documentation before it implements, reviews, debugs, or explains Form, Please code.

The skill follows the open Agent Skills format. It provides instructions to your agent. It does not install the Form, Please npm package or change your application.

Install the skill

Run this command from your project directory:

npx skills add r13v/form-please --skill form-please

Follow the CLI prompts to select your agent and installation method. Keep the default project scope when only this project uses Form, Please.

Add --global to make the skill available in all your projects:

npx skills add r13v/form-please --skill form-please --global

The command downloads the skill from the public Form, Please repository. Review SKILL.md before you install or update it because your agent follows the instructions in that file.

Install without the CLI

Copy the complete skills/form-please directory from the repository to a skill directory that your agent supports. For agents that support the shared project convention, use this path:

.agents/skills/form-please/SKILL.md

Check your agent documentation if it uses a different skill directory.

Use the skill

A compatible agent can load the skill when your request concerns Form, Please. Name the skill in your request when you want to activate it explicitly. You do not need a product-specific slash command.

For an implementation task, use a request such as:

Use the form-please skill. Build a profile form with Zod and the native preset.
Keep the existing design system.

For a review task, use a request such as:

Use the form-please skill. Review this form definition for invalid schema paths,
validation mistakes, and submission errors.

When the skill activates, it tells the agent to read the current LLM documentation index and use that documentation as its source of truth. This prevents the agent from relying only on information from its training data.

Verify the installation

List the installed skills:

npx skills list

Confirm that form-please appears for the agent that you selected. Start a new agent session if the current session does not discover the new skill. Then send one of the example requests. If your agent shows its activity, confirm that it reads SKILL.md and the LLM documentation before it changes code.

Update the skill

Update a project installation with this command:

npx skills update form-please

Add --global if you installed the skill globally.
