Next.js Forms Prompt

AI prompt to transform Claude Code, Cursor, or Windsurf into Next.js + Server Actions form expert. Complete validation with React, shadcn/ui and TypeScript.

Forms are where AI assistants fail hardest. They generate React Hook Form boilerplate from 2021, ignore Server Actions entirely, and treat validation as "add required to the input." Meanwhile, Next.js 15 has useActionState, progressive enhancement that actually works, and form handling that doesn't need a state management library. This prompt transforms your AI into a forms specialist who understands the new paradigm: Server Actions as the primary form handler, Zod schemas shared between client and server, and the React 19 patterns that make forms feel instant while staying accessible. Use it for checkout flows, multi-step wizards, settings pages, or any form that needs to work for everyone—including users with JavaScript disabled. The prompt covers the edge cases: field-level errors that announce to screen readers, optimistic updates that roll back gracefully, and file uploads that don't break mobile Safari.
