Skill Prompt

- Inputs must include the form purpose, field list, required/format/server validation rules, submit method, multi-step status, expected error count, and whether users have entered sensitive or high-cost information.
- On submit failure, render both a page-level error summary and field-level error messages; each summary item uses the field name plus a specific fix hint and links to the related field or fieldset.
- Preserve all user input that can be safely preserved; clear sensitive fields only when security or compliance requires it, and explain why.
- Define focus behavior: move keyboard focus to the error summary after submit failure; connect field errors with `aria-describedby`; reflect the error state in the page title or main heading.
- Validate by default after submit/continue; do not interrupt slow typists on blur or every keystroke unless it is a low-risk suggestion that does not block progress.
- Do not replace full error recovery with disappearing toast, red borders, or native HTML5 validation; the server still owns final validation.
- Deliver the error summary structure, field-level error copy, focus/ARIA connections, input-preservation rules, server-failure branches, resubmit path, and desktop/mobile verification checklist.
- Sources referenced: GOV.UK Error summary, GOV.UK validation pattern, NHS error summary, W3C ARIA19/Status Messages, and MDN live regions. The content is rewritten as Interface Lab form-recovery skill guidance.
