What it does

Tanstack Form is an agent skill from exceptionless/Exceptionless. Build Svelte forms with TanStack Form, Zod validation, and API error mapping.

Its SKILL.md is about 540 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Forms and validation. It works with TanStack, Svelte and Zod. The repository describes itself as: Exceptionless application. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Forms and validation

Example prompts

  • “/tanstack-form”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Define typed default values and extend generated Zod schemas for feature-specific or cross-field constraints.
  2. Use the current form's synchronous validation hook for schema errors and asynchronous submission hook for the server operation. Follow the…

  5. Keep pending state active through required work. Preserve values on failure; reset, navigate, or close a dialog only after success and any…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 300e8ca. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Tanstack Form loads about 544 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 230 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~544

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

TanStack Form

Use @tanstack/svelte-form with feature schemas derived from $generated/schemas. Extend schemas in feature-owned files; do not edit generated output.

Current examples

  • src/Exceptionless.Web/ClientApp/src/routes/(auth)/login/+page.svelte: form creation, submission, field composition, and submitting state.
  • src/Exceptionless.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/features/auth/schemas.ts: generated schema exports and feature-specific validation.
  • src/Exceptionless.Web/ClientApp/src/lib/features/shared/validation.ts: ariaInvalid, mapFieldErrors, and problemDetailsToFormErrors.

Follow the current implementations rather than duplicating form infrastructure. Map API ProblemDetails into field/form errors, retain entered values after failure, and close dialogs only after successful submission.

Use installed Field components with associated labels and validation attributes. Disable duplicate submission while pending. See shadcn-svelte for component composition.

Submission lifecycle

  1. Define typed default values and extend generated Zod schemas for feature-specific or cross-field constraints.
  2. Use the current form's synchronous validation hook for schema errors and asynchronous submission hook for the server operation. Follow the referenced implementation's hook contracts rather than moving API calls between hooks blindly.
  3. Await the operation. Map expected ProblemDetails with problemDetailsToFormErrors; provide a form-level error for an unexpected failure without exposing internal details.
  4. Connect field state through ariaInvalid and mapFieldErrors. Display form-level errors as well as field errors so non-field failures remain visible.
  5. Keep pending state active through required work. Preserve values on failure; reset, navigate, or close a dialog only after success and any required cache reconciliation.

Check invalid input, server rejection, repeated submission, and successful completion. A dialog closing is not by itself proof that the save succeeded.
