Allow pasting into form inputs

SkillMedia

paste-inputs is a skill that gives an AI agent a checklist for testing whether users can paste text into web form fields. Use it when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Allow pasting into form inputs. It guides the agent to check native semantics first, then keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

What your AI can do with it

  • Check native form-input semantics before anything else
  • Test whether users can paste text into web form fields
  • Inspect keyboard behavior of inputs
  • Review focus flow across form fields
  • Verify accessible names on inputs
  • Check screen-reader output where relevant

Getting started

  1. Have an AI agent that can load skills.
  2. Add the paste-inputs skill to the agent's available skills.
  3. Ask the agent to review the rendered HTML, component, or design-system pattern you want checked.
  4. The agent follows the checklist, starting with native semantics and then keyboard, focus, naming, and screen-reader checks.

What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by thedaviddias/front-end-checklist in skills/paste-inputs/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Restricting pasting makes it difficult for users to use password managers or copy-paste long strings of data, which can lead to increased errors and a poor user experience.

Quick Reference

  • Do not block the 'paste' event on any form input
  • Ensure password fields and credit card inputs allow pasting from managers
  • Remove onpaste="return false" from all input elements

Check

Check the codebase for any JavaScript or HTML attributes that prevent users from pasting into form fields.

Fix

Remove any code (e.g., onpaste="return false") that blocks the default paste behavior in inputs.

Explain

Explain how allowing pasting into forms improves security and accessibility for users with physical or cognitive disabilities.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Allow pasting into form inputs. Flag exact elements, roles, labels, focus behavior, or keyboard interactions that violate the rule, and note how to verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech.
