React Hook Form Audit

What it does

When your agent uses it

• The user asks to audit/review/lint RHF usage
• Find form anti-patterns
• Run a quality check on forms — even if they dont say react-hook-form by name
• They mention auditing forms in a Next.js project

Example prompts

• “use client”
• “t say”
• “Use the react-hook-form-audit skill to audit a Next.js (App Router, 14/15+) codebase for React Hook Form anti-patterns — watch() at form root…”
• “/react-hook-form-audit”

Requirements

• Node.js
• A Bash shell

Workflow steps

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

1. 1Confirm project is a Next.js App Router app with react-hook-form installed (detect-project.sh will check)
2. 2Run bash scripts/audit.sh [--project ]
3. 3Read the generated .rhf-audit-report.md in the project root
4. 4For each finding, follow the link to the companion distillation rule for the fix
5. 5After fixing, re-run to verify a clean audit

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cf93c57. 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

  Ships 8 files in scripts/ (Shell and JavaScript), which the agent can run.

  Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

  • bash
  • brew

  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

React Hook Form Audit loads about 1.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~7.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 220 tokens; SKILL.md has 612 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~220

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~1.6k

With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them

~7.2k

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

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

description

Audits a Next.js (App Router, 14/15+) codebase for React Hook Form anti-patterns — watch() at form root, Controller inlined in parent, async submit without try/catch, missing setError on server failures, RHF in non-"use client" files, RHF mixed with useActionState, schemas defined inside components, useFieldArray without field.id keys, register({ disabled }) for visual disabling, useFieldArray({ disabled }) that silently no-ops mutations, useEffect+reset(data) instead of the values prop. Read-only; emits a markdown report with file:line citations linking back to the companion `react-hook-form` distillation skill. Trigger when the user asks to audit/review/lint RHF usage, find form anti-patterns, or run a quality check on forms — even if they don't say "react-hook-form" by name; if they mention auditing forms in a Next.js project, use this skill.

1. detect-project.sh   Verify Next.js + react-hook-form in package.json
2. collect-files.sh    Ripgrep for "use client" files importing RHF
3. detect-fast.sh      Ripgrep detectors (rules 5, 11, 14)
4. detect-ast.mjs      ts-morph detectors (rules 1-3, 6-10, 12-13, 15-17)
5. render-report.mjs   Render markdown + JSON; print summary; exit 0/1

# Audit the current directory
bash scripts/audit.sh

# Audit a specific project
bash scripts/audit.sh --project /path/to/nextjs-app

# Preview without writing the report file
