better-forms from asymmetric-al/core is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/better-forms@v2.1.0Pins v2.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Complete guide for building accessible, high-UX forms in modern stacks (React/Next.js, Tailwind, Zod). Includes specific patterns for clickable areas, range sliders, output-inspired design, and WCAG compliance.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
> **Repo notice (Asymmetric-al/core):** This repository is **Base UI only**.
> Shared primitives come from `@base-ui/react` via the shadcn `base-maia`
> style in `packages/ui`. Ignore any Radix UI guidance below — never add
> `radix-ui`/`@radix-ui/*` imports or dependencies; composition uses Base
> UI's `render` prop, not `asChild`. See `docs/ai/rules/frontend.md`.
# Better Forms Guide
A collection of specific UX patterns, accessibility standards, and implementation techniques for modern web forms. This guide bridges the gap between raw HTML/CSS tips and component-based architectures (React, Tailwind, Headless UI).
## 1. High-Impact UX Patterns (The "Why" & "How")
### Avoid "Dead Zones" in Lists
**Concept**: Small gaps between clickable list items create frustration.
**Implementation (Tailwind)**: Use a pseudo-element to expand the hit area without affecting layout.
```tsx
// Do this for list items or radio groups
<div className="relative group">
<input type="radio" className="..." />
<label className="... after:absolute after:inset-y-[-10px] after:left-0 after:right-0 after:content-['']">
Option Label
</label>
</div>
```
### Range Sliders > Min/Max Inputs

How to install
mdr add asymmetric-al/core/better-forms@sha256:a3ed60a48ff907c2The line at the top of this page pins the label v2.1.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
