Allow pasting into form inputs
SkillMediapaste-inputs is an agent skill for accessibility review of form inputs related to allow pasting into form inputs. It guides an agent to check native semantics first, then inspect keyboard behavior, focus flow, accessible names, and screen-reader output, and to flag code that blocks pasting.
Available today. Use it from your connected AI after setup.
No other account needed.
Have an agent that can load skills and access the codebase or rendered HTML to review.
Then ask your AI: use the Allow pasting into form inputs skill
What your AI can do with it
- Detects JavaScript or HTML attributes that block pasting into form fields
- Flags onpaste="return false" and similar code that prevents default paste behavior
- Checks that password and credit card inputs allow pasting from password managers
- Reviews rendered markup, roles, labels, and focus behavior against the rule
- Explains how allowing pasting improves security and accessibility for users with disabilit
- Suggests verification with browser accessibility tooling or assistive tech
Getting started
- Have an agent that can load skills and access the codebase or rendered HTML to review.
- Add the paste-inputs skill to the agent's available skills.
- Ask the agent to review form inputs for code that blocks pasting, such as onpaste="return false".
- Remove the flagged blocking code so inputs accept the default paste behavior.
- Verify the fix with browser accessibility tooling or assistive technology.
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.
