Forms Router
Routes to 7 specialized skills based on task requirements.
Routing Protocol
- Classify — Identify framework + form type
- Match — Apply signal matching rules below
- Combine — Production forms need 3-4 skills minimum
- Load — Read matched SKILL.md files before coding
Quick Route
Tier 1: Core (Always Include)
| Need |
Skill |
Signals |
| WCAG compliance, ARIA |
form-accessibility |
accessible, ARIA, screen reader, keyboard, focus, a11y |
| Zod schemas, timing |
form-validation |
validate, Zod, schema, error, required, pattern |
| Autocomplete, CSRF, XSS |
form-security |
autocomplete, password manager, CSRF, XSS, sanitize |
Tier 2: Framework
| Need |
Skill |
Signals |
| React Hook Form / TanStack |
form-react |
React, useForm, RHF, TanStack, formState |
| VeeValidate / Vuelidate |
form-vue |
Vue, VeeValidate, Vuelidate, v-model |
| No framework |
form-vanilla |
vanilla, plain JS, native, constraint validation |
Tier 3: Enhanced UX
| Need |
Skill |
Signals |
| Wizards, chunking, conditionals |
form-ux-patterns |
multi-step, wizard, progressive, conditional, stepper |
Signal Priority
When multiple signals present:
- Framework explicit — React/Vue/vanilla determines Tier 2 choice
- Auth context — Login/registration triggers
form-security priority
- Complexity — Wizard/multi-step triggers
form-ux-patterns
- Default — Always include all Tier 1 skills
Common Combinations
Standard Production Form (4 skills)
form-accessibility → WCAG, ARIA binding
form-validation → Zod schemas, timing
form-react → RHF integration
form-security → autocomplete attributes
Secure Auth Form (4 skills)
form-security → autocomplete, CSRF (priority)
form-accessibility → focus, error announcements
form-validation → auth schema
form-react → controlled submission
Multi-Step Wizard (4 skills)
form-ux-patterns → chunking, navigation
form-validation → per-step validation
form-accessibility → focus on step change
form-react → FormProvider context
Framework-Free Form (3 skills)
form-vanilla → Constraint Validation API
form-accessibility → manual ARIA
form-security → autocomplete
Decision Table
| Framework |
Form Type |
Skills |
| React |
Standard |
accessibility + validation + security + react |
| React |
Auth |
security + accessibility + validation + react |
| React |
Wizard |
ux-patterns + validation + accessibility + react |
| Vue |
Standard |
accessibility + validation + security + vue |
| Vue |
Complex |
accessibility + validation + ux-patterns + vue |
| None |
Any |
vanilla + accessibility + security |
Core Principles (All Skills)
Schema-first: Define Zod schema → infer TypeScript types
Timing: Reward early (✓ on valid), punish late (✗ on blur only)
Autocomplete: Never optional for auth forms
Chunking: Max 5-7 fields per logical group
Fallback
- No framework stated → Ask: "React, Vue, or vanilla JS?"
- Ambiguous complexity → Start with Tier 1 + framework skill
- Missing context → Default to
form-react (most common)
