What it does

Form Validation is an agent skill from thedaviddias/ux-patterns-for-developers. Use when you need to validate and provide feedback.

Its SKILL.md is about 900 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/pattern.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering Forms and validation and Accessibility. The repository describes itself as: 🧩 Developer ecosystem for UX patterns: comprehensive docs, ready-to-use components, and real-world examples.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to validate and provide feedback
  • Tasks that involve Forms and validation
  • Tasks that involve Accessibility

Example prompts

  • “/form-validation”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Confirm the pattern matches the problem and constraints before copying the example.
  2. Start from the anatomy and examples in references/pattern.md, then choose the smallest viable variation.
  3. Apply accessibility, performance, and interaction guardrails before layering visual polish.
  4. Use the testing guidance to verify behavior across keyboard, screen reader, responsive, and failure scenarios.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a15991d. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • uxpatterns.dev

    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

Form Validation loads about 900 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 17 tokens; SKILL.md has 436 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~17
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~900
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.3k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 436 words (~900 tokens).
