What it does

Chunking Form Grouping is an agent skill from hashgraph-online/awesome-codex-plugins. Use this skill when designing or fixing long forms that ask the user for many fields — sign-up flows, profile setup, settings panels, checkout, intake forms, applications. Trigger when forms exceed ~6 fields, when users complain forms are "too long," when seeing high mid-form drop-off, or when picking how to break a form into sections. Sub-aspect of chunking; read that first.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/long-form-patterns.md`).

The repository describes itself as: A curated list of awesome OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT plugins, skills, and resources. The 1 Codex Marketplace. See live plugins at: https://hol.org/plugins/best-codex-plugins. The licence is Apache-2.0.

When your agent uses it

  • Fixing long forms that ask the user for many fields — sign-up flows
  • Settings panels
  • Forms exceed ~6 fields
  • Users complain forms are too long

Example prompts

  • “too long,”
  • “/chunking-form-grouping”

Workflow steps

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

  1. The "name each section in 2–3 words" test. If you can't, the chunking isn't meaningful.
  2. The completion-rate audit. If sign-up completion drops below ~70% (varies by industry), the form is too long; cut, defer, or chunk better.
  3. The mobile walkthrough. Walk the form on a 375px screen. Single-page sections that feel manageable on desktop often feel oppressive on…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9e7b281. 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 (its code samples are html).

    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

Chunking Form Grouping loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 101 tokens; SKILL.md has 693 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~101
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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.

description
Use this skill when designing or fixing long forms that ask the user for many fields — sign-up flows, profile setup, settings panels, checkout, intake forms, applications. Trigger when forms exceed ~6 fields, when users complain forms are "too long," when seeing high mid-form drop-off, or when picking how to break a form into sections. Sub-aspect of `chunking`; read that first.

Chunking applied to forms

A form with 25 fields in one continuous scroll is a wall. The same 25 fields organized into 4–5 named sections of 5–6 fields each is a list of small tasks. The total content is identical; the perceived complexity drops dramatically.

When to chunk a form

  • The form has more than ~7 fields.
  • Drop-off analytics show users abandoning mid-form.
  • Users describe the form as "long," "complicated," or "I don't know where I am."
  • The fields fall into natural categories (account info, profile info, preferences).

If the form is short (3–5 fields) or all fields belong to a single concept, chunking adds noise without benefit.

Section structure

Three patterns for chunked forms:

Single-page with named sections

All sections visible on one page; user scrolls through and fills in.

html
<form class="long-form">
  <section>
    <h2>Account</h2>
    <p class="hint">How you'll sign in.</p>
    <!-- 4-5 fields -->
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>Profile</h2>
    <p class="hint">How others see you.</p>
    <!-- 4-5 fields -->
  </section>

  <section>
    <h2>Workspace</h2>
    <p class="hint">Set up your team space.</p>
    <!-- 4-5 fields -->
  </section>

  <button>Create account</button>
</form>

Pros: user sees total scope; can fill in any order; one save action.

Cons: the scroll can still feel long; mid-form abandonment possible.

Accordion sections (one open at a time)

Sections collapse to headers; user opens one at a time.

Pros: less visual mass; user focuses on current chunk.

Cons: total scope is hidden; users may not realize how many sections remain.

Multi-step wizard

Each section is its own page; "Continue" advances; "Back" returns.

Pros: focused attention on one chunk; easier mobile experience.

Cons: more clicks; loss of context between steps; back-button management complexity.

The right pattern depends on form length, mobile context, and whether the user benefits from seeing total scope (probably yes for sign-up; maybe not for long government forms).

Naming sections

Section names should:

  • Match the user's mental model — "Profile" not "User Information Subsystem."
  • Suggest what's inside without requiring the user to open it.
  • Be parallel in grammar — all noun phrases, or all verb phrases, not mixed.

Bad section names:

  • "Section 1 of 5" — generic; provides no structure.
  • "Required Information" — vague; everything is information.
  • "Etc." — gives up.

Good section names:

  • "Account credentials"
  • "Notification preferences"
  • "Billing address"

Section progress signals

For long single-page forms, a sticky table-of-contents or progress indicator helps:

html
<aside class="form-toc">
  <ol>
    <li><a href="#account" class="done">Account</a></li>
    <li><a href="#profile" class="active">Profile</a></li>
    <li><a href="#workspace">Workspace</a></li>
  </ol>
</aside>

For multi-step wizards, a stepper:

html
<nav class="stepper" aria-label="Progress">
  <ol>
    <li class="done">1. Account</li>
    <li class="active">2. Profile</li>
    <li>3. Workspace</li>
  </ol>
</nav>

Both let the user see where they are and how much remains.

Field count per section

Aim for 4–7 fields per section. More than that and the section itself becomes a wall; less and the section overhead exceeds its benefit.

If you find yourself with 12 fields in one logical section, ask:

  • Are all 12 actually required? (Often not; cut.)
  • Can the section split into two? (E.g., "Personal" and "Contact.")
  • Can some fields move to "later" via progressive disclosure?

Single-page vs. multi-step decision

A useful matrix:

LengthMobile-primaryRecommended
≤ 5 fieldsEitherSingle page, no sections
6–15 fieldsDesktopSingle page with named sections
6–15 fieldsMobileMulti-step or accordion
16–30 fieldsEitherMulti-step wizard
30+ fieldsEitherMulti-step + reconsider scope

The question after 30+: do you really need all this data up front? Most products can defer 60% of fields until the user has experienced value.

Anti-patterns

  • Sections without names. Visual breaks (a horizontal rule) without headings provide visual chunking but no semantic chunking. The user doesn't know what's in each.
  • Inconsistent section size. Five fields, two fields, fourteen fields. The user can't predict what's coming.
  • Required + optional mixed within sections. A user finishing what looked like a required field discovers more required fields hidden among optional ones. Worse: discovers there are required fields in a section they thought was optional.
  • Auto-advance on field change. A field that automatically moves focus or advances steps when value changes surprises the user.
  • Save state per section unclear. Multi-step wizards that don't save state per step can lose user data on navigation.

Heuristics

  1. The "name each section in 2–3 words" test. If you can't, the chunking isn't meaningful.
  2. The completion-rate audit. If sign-up completion drops below ~70% (varies by industry), the form is too long; cut, defer, or chunk better.
  3. The mobile walkthrough. Walk the form on a 375px screen. Single-page sections that feel manageable on desktop often feel oppressive on mobile.
  • chunking (parent).
  • chunking-numeric-and-otp — chunking within field values.
  • progressive-disclosure — defer optional fields rather than showing them all.
  • proximity-form-fields (perception) — visual proximity within and between sections.
  • hicks-law — fewer fields = faster decisions.
