Hookwright Form Builder

Hookwright Form Builder — a Claude Skill

Turns a plain-language description of a form into a **Deftmind Hookwright** field specification — the JSON `label` / `button` / `fields` object the Hookwright WordPress plugin expects — and delivers it as a downloadable `.json` file.

What it does

Give it a description like:

People book our studio. I need their name, email, which room, the date, and whether they need the lighting rig if they take the big room.

It returns a downloadable `.json` file containing:

{
  "label": "Studio booking request",
  "button": "Request booking",
  "fields": "full_name | Your name | text | required\nemail | Email address | email | required\nroom | Which room | select:Studio A (large),Studio B (small),Not sure | required\nlighting | Do you need the lighting rig? | checkbox |  | if:room=Studio A (large)\nbooking_date | Preferred date | date | required"
}

That file is ready to paste straight into a Hookwright form's field-spec setting.

It follows Hookwright's field grammar exactly — types, the `required` slot, positional `if:field=value` conditions, and the plugin's limits (20 fields, 20 answers per select/radio, 80 characters per answer, no commas in an answer). Full rules are in [`SKILL.md`](./SKILL.md).

Installing

**Claude.ai** — download [`hookwright-form-builder.skill`](../../releases) from the Releases page and upload it as a custom skill.

**Claude Code / Cowork** — clone this repo (or just copy `SKILL.md`) into your project's skills directory, e.g. `.claude/skills/hookwright-form-builder/`.

**Manual** — `SKILL.md` alone works anywhere that reads Anthropic's skill format; it has no dependencies beyond Claude itself.

Usage

Once installed, just describe the form you need:

Build a Hookwright form for event registration collecting name, email, preferred seat number, and a choice of Lagos, Ibadan, or Abuja.

The skill will hand back a `.json` file — it never prints raw JSON into the chat.
