Form Field Multiple Labels

Design
form-field-multiple-labels

Form Field Multiple Labels is an Agent Skill for design published in the thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist repository on GitHub: a SKILL.md instruction file an AI agent can load to do this task.

Use when reviewing rendered HTML, interactive components, or design-system patterns related to Use a single label for each form field. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

How to use this skill

Bring this guide into your coding agent with a prompt tailored to the tool you use.

  1. Open your project in Codex.
  2. Copy and paste the prompt below.
  3. Review files and risks before approving any action.
Prompt to paste
Inspect the Agent Skill at https://github.com/thedaviddias/Front-End-Checklist/blob/HEAD/skills/form-field-multiple-labels/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/form-field-multiple-labels, but wait for my approval before writing files or running scripts.

Copying this prompt does not install or run the skill. Review third-party files before use.

Use a single label for each form field

Multiple labels for a single field can cause screen readers to announce redundant information or fail to correctly associate the input with its purpose.

Quick Reference

  • Associate each form input with exactly one element
  • Use aria-labelledby if multiple pieces of text must label a single field
  • Avoid duplicate labels that can confuse screen readers and voice control

Check

Search for form inputs that are associated with more than one element.

Fix

Consolidate multiple labels into a single or use aria-labelledby to reference multiple sources of text.

Explain

Explain how a 1:1 relationship between labels and inputs ensures clarity for assistive technology users.

Code Review

Review the rendered markup and interactive states that affect Use a single label for each form field. 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.
