Form Explainer

Q: How do I know the Form Explainer output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The form is identified by issuer and country, or the output says it could not be; Every field the person must complete is explained, and office-only fields are marked as such; Signatures, declarations, dates and bank details are flagged; No personal details are invented; the person's own facts are left for them.

Explain an official form field by field (tax, benefits, immigration, employment, school, health, vehicle or court forms) from a photo, PDF, pasted text or just its name and number: what it is for, what each field means and what to put, the documents needed, the deadline, and where to send it. Use when someone says 'what is this form', 'help me understand form P45 / W-4 / Form 16', 'what do I write in this box', or 'I got this form in the post'. Produces a one-line purpose, a field-by-field guide, a documents checklist, common mistakes, and what happens next.

🗣 Say this to your agent

“I got a P45 from my old job, what do I do with it?”“Help me fill in a W-4, I don't understand the dependants part”“What is Form 16 and why does my employer give it to me?”“I photographed this benefits form, can you explain each box?”

What to give it

▸The form itself — (photo, PDF or text), or its name, number and the country that issued it

▸Why the person has it — they were sent it, an employer gave it, they need to apply for something

▸What they want — to understand it, to know what to put in particular boxes, or to know what to do next

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The form is identified by issuer and country, or the output says it could not be

✓Every field the person must complete is explained, and office-only fields are marked as such

✓Signatures, declarations, dates and bank details are flagged

✓No personal details are invented; the person's own facts are left for them

✓The deadline is quoted from the form or flagged to check, with the not-advice line

⚠️ What it refuses to do

Filling in personal details the person did not give

Explaining an old version of a form as if it were current without saying to check

Using the office's jargon to explain the office's jargon

Treating a form that needs a professional (immigration appeals, complex tax) as routine
