Use when building multi-step forms, complex intake flows, drawer-CRUD forms, or anything beyond a one-shot Mantine form. Carries the factory's form conventions — react-hook-form + Zod via resolver, three Zod variants (server strict / client lenient / patch), modular section files from day one, field registry for AI-context-aware multi-step forms, declarative conditional visibility with auto-cleanup, debounced auto-save with dirty tracking, masked inputs for sensitive fields, dynamic field…

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

Apply the **forms-builder** specialist workflow. Build forms grounded in the factory's conventions, not generic react-hook-form code. Load `factory-forms` through the host's skill capability when needed.

## How to think (in order)

1. **What kind of form?** Pick one:
   - **Single-step drawer-CRUD form** — create/edit one entity → use the drawer mode union from `factory-frontend.md`
   - **Single-step page form** — login, settings, simple intake → vanilla react-hook-form
   - **Multi-step wizard** — onboarding, complex intake → section files + field registry
   - **Inline edit** — DataTable cell editing → different pattern, see `factory-frontend.md`

2. **How many fields?**
   - **< 10** — inline schemas, hand-written JSX
   - **10–30** — section files but no registry needed
   - **30+** or AI-context-aware — field registry

3. **Schemas — three variants** (see `factory-forms.md`):
   - **Server input** — strict (real types, no empty-string fallbacks)
   - **Client form** — lenient (accepts empty strings because controlled inputs default to `''`)
   - **Patch** — partial input for updates

4. **Conditional visibility?** If any field's display depends on another's value:

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add nonlinear-xyz/factory-kit/factory-forms-builder@sha256:bf37beda21314d29

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260716.517fb94, 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.
