Build and modify forms that use React Hook Form or whose project conventions require it. Use when implementing controlled widgets, schema validation, fetched edit forms, conditional fields, multi-step wizards, field arrays, submission errors, or dirty-state handling. For review or diagnosis, use react-hook-form-audit.

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

# React Hook Form

Build around four decisions: **ownership**, **schema tree**, **adapter**, and **baseline**.
RHF evidence is the invocation boundary; an ordinary React form request does not itself justify
introducing the library.

## Process

### 1. Establish the form contract

Inspect the installed RHF, React, resolver, schema, data-fetching, and UI-library versions before
writing code. Identify:

- create or edit form;
- submitted value shape and API payload shape;
- client snapshot or live server-data ownership;
- native input contracts versus controlled adapters;
- conditional, array, or wizard branches;
- stable v7 APIs versus installed v8 APIs.

Completion: the value owner, form type, installed versions, and required branches are explicit.

### 2. Define the schema tree and defaults

Create one canonical form-value model. Compose section or wizard schemas into the full schema;
when parsing transforms values, distinguish schema input from output types. Supply a complete
non-`undefined` default for every tracked field and transform API values at the boundary.

Completion: every registered path exists in the typed model and has a valid default; the full
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kriscard/skills/react-hook-form@sha256:4fdcb8fff162594d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.1f199d1, 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.
