better-forms skillA
better-forms is agent-read markdown (skill) from asymmetric-al/core: 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..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns 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@v2.1.0mdr add asymmetric-al/core/better-forms@sha256:0960f58890263657Pin to a label to follow the author's releases, or to a sha256 to freeze the exact bytes forever. Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
