description	Workflow for generating form JSON and using the Svelte Form Builder (svelte-form-builder.vercel.app) to scaffold SvelteKit remote function forms with Valibot validation. Use when creating forms via the form builder.

Svelte Form Builder

This skill applies only to forms implemented with SvelteKit remote functions (form(schema, handler)).

Before using this workflow, confirm the form is a remote-form candidate via your project's form decision tree.

Workflow

1. Understand the fields and validation requirements.
2. Generate a form JSON following the schema below.
3. Ask the user to visit https://svelte-form-builder.vercel.app/v2 and import the JSON.
4. In the builder, ensure Valibot validation and SvelteKit remote functions are toggled on.
5. Use btca to verify up-to-date SvelteKit remote-function patterns when needed.
6. Implement the generated client/server code in the project, preserving existing UI structure and using shadcn-svelte components.

Form Builder JSON Schema

Generate a form JSON structure for the Svelte form builder using this exact schema:

• Return an array of rows
• Each row has: "id" (string), "fields" (array)
• Each field must have:
  • "id": unique string (e.g., "field-1")
  • "name": display name (e.g., "Input", "Email")
  • "type": one of text, email, password, number, textarea, boolean, select, radio, date-picker, slider, input-otp, phone, combobox, tags-input, file, location-input
  • "category": same as type for most fields, or "checkbox"/"switch" for boolean
  • "label": field label shown to user
  • "description": helper text (optional)
  • "placeholder": placeholder text
  • "required": boolean
  • "position": "full" (or "left"/"right" for side-by-side, max 2 per row)
  • "options": array for select/radio/combobox (each with "id", "value", "label")
  • "multiple": boolean (optional) for select/combobox (false=single, true=multiple)

Example

[
	{
		"id": "row-1",
		"fields": [
			{
				"id": "field-1",
				"name": "Input",
				"type": "text",
				"category": "text",
				"label": "Full Name",
				"description": "Enter your full name",
				"placeholder": "John Doe",
				"required": true,
				"position": "full"
			}
		]
	}
]
