form-validation

form-validation is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from aj-geddes/useful-ai-prompts. It costs 34 tokens per session (509 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to checking user input in web forms and showing errors as people fill them out. It covers common React and Vue form libraries as well as custom checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for login and registration forms, complex rules, multi-step forms, and keeping browser-side checks aligned with server validation.
Why use it?
It prevents invalid or incomplete data from reaching the server and gives users clear feedback before they submit a form.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import { LoginFormData } from '../types/form';.

Good fit Use it for login and registration forms, complex rules, multi-step forms, and keeping browser-side checks aligned with server validation.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

form-validation scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Form Validation

Table of Contents

Overview

Implement comprehensive form validation including client-side validation, server-side synchronization, and real-time error feedback with TypeScript type safety.

When to Use

  • User input validation
  • Form submission handling
  • Real-time error feedback
  • Complex validation rules
  • Multi-step forms

Quick Start

Minimal working example:

// types/form.ts
export interface LoginFormData {
  email: string;
  password: string;
  rememberMe: boolean;
}

export interface RegisterFormData {
  email: string;
  password: string;
  confirmPassword: string;
  name: string;
  terms: boolean;
}

// components/LoginForm.tsx
import { useForm, SubmitHandler } from 'react-hook-form';
import { LoginFormData } from '../types/form';

const emailRegex = /^[^\s@]+@[^\s@]+\.[^\s@]+$/;

export const LoginForm: React.FC = () => {
  const {
    register,
    handleSubmit,
// ... (see reference guides for full implementation)

Best Practices

✅ DO

  • Follow established patterns and conventions
  • Write clean, maintainable code
  • Add appropriate documentation
  • Test thoroughly before deploying

❌ DON'T

  • Skip testing or validation
  • Ignore error handling
  • Hard-code configuration values

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
