Paste Inputs

Design
paste-inputs

Paste Inputs 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 Allow pasting into form inputs. Check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output where relevant.

QUICK START

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/paste-inputs/SKILL.md and all supporting files. Report provenance, permissions, scripts, dependencies, and security risks. Propose an exact installation into .agents/skills/paste-inputs, 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.

Allow pasting into form inputs

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.

For full implementation details, code examples, and framework-specific guidance, see references/rule.md.
