​
Setup

Install the Spike skill in your project: 
npx skills add spike-forms/agent-skills -a kiro-cli
This creates a SKILL.md file in .kiro/skills/ that Kiro loads automatically.

​
Verify Installation

npx skills list
You should see spike-forms listed under Kiro CLI.
After installing, if you’re using Kiro’s custom agents, add the skill to your agent’s resources in .kiro/agents/<agent>.json:
{
  "resources": ["skill://.kiro/skills/**/SKILL.md"]
}

​
Usage

Once installed, Kiro knows how to create Spike forms. Use it in chat or let it work through specs:

​
In Chat

Add a contact form to the homepage that submits to Spike

​
With Specs

When building a feature with Kiro’s spec system, mention Spike in your requirements: 
The contact page should include a form that submits to Spike for backend handling.
Include name, email, and message fields with spam protection.
Kiro will generate the implementation tasks with Spike integration built in.

​
Autopilot Mode

In autopilot mode, Kiro can build entire form flows end-to-end: 
Create a complete contact page with a Spike form, success state,
and a webhook handler that sends submissions to Slack.

​
Examples

​
React form with hooks:

Create a useContactForm hook that submits to Spike and returns
loading, success, and error states. Then build a ContactForm component using it.

​
Form with file uploads:

Add a job application form with resume upload. Use Spike for the backend.
Accept PDF and DOCX files.

​
Full-stack form flow:

Build a feedback form that:
1. Submits to Spike
2. Shows a success animation
3. Sends a webhook to our API
4. The API route verifies the Spike signature and saves to the database

​
Tips

  • The skill activates on form-related files (.html, .tsx, .jsx, .vue, .svelte, .astro)
  • Works in both chat and spec-driven development
  • Kiro’s steering files can reference Spike docs for consistent form patterns across your project
  • For global installation: npx skills add spike-forms/agent-skills -a kiro-cli -g
