Working with AI

Give AI coding assistants accurate NotForm knowledge using llms.txt, per-page Markdown, and the NotForm agent skill.

AI assistants are fast at writing form code, and just as quick to invent APIs that do not exist. NotForm's API is small but specific, so an assistant working from memory will often reach for names from other libraries.

NotForm gives assistants three ways to work from the real documentation.

Resource	What it is	Best for
`llms.txt`	An index of every documentation page with a one-line description	Letting an assistant discover which pages exist
Page Markdown	Any documentation page as clean Markdown	Loading exactly the pages a task needs
`llms-full.txt`	The whole documentation in one file	Broad tasks, or tools that cannot follow links
The agent skill	A short set of instructions that routes an agent to the right pages	Making the agent do all of the above on its own

Quick start

Install the skill. Copy the notform skill into your project so your assistant loads it automatically. See Agent skill.
Ask for what you need. Describe the form in plain words. The skill makes the assistant read the matching pages before it writes code.
Review against the docs. Ask the assistant which pages it used. If something it wrote is not in those pages, it is a guess.

No skill support? Paste https://notformdocs.vercel.app/llms.txt into the conversation and ask the assistant to read the pages relevant to your task before writing code.

What assistants get right and wrong

Assistants do well when the docs are in front of them. These are the mistakes the documentation and skill are designed to prevent:

using path props or form context from NotForm v3 instead of explicit field instances;
using index instead of item.id as an array key;
mutating arrays directly instead of through ArrayField methods;
expecting form.setValue or field.model writes to validate;
passing field configuration on every render and expecting it to apply;
mixing NotForm with another form library on the same form.

Next steps

Migrating from NotForm v3

Update NotForm v3 code to v4: renamed APIs, explicit field instances, moved validation config, and array fields.
