-# Temporary Holding Version
+# react-smart-paste
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Paste any text and let AI fill your form. A React button and hook that read the form, send the pasted text to your model, show the proposed values, and fill the fields once the user approves. MIT licensed.
+
+**[Live demo](https://saravanananbu.github.io/react-smart-paste/)** · [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-smart-paste)
+
+- Works on plain HTML forms: no schema to declare, it reads names, labels, types and options from the page
+- Review before anything changes, per-field tick boxes, and undo
+- Never overwrites what the user already typed (unless you ask it to)
+- Passwords, payment fields, files and hidden inputs are never read, sent or filled
+- Any model: you pass one function that calls your backend, so no API key reaches the browser
+- Fills React-controlled and uncontrolled inputs alike, by setting values the way typing does
+- Falls back to a paste box when the browser blocks clipboard access
+- Ships with `"use client"`, ESM and CommonJS builds, and TypeScript types
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install react-smart-paste
+```
+
+`react` and `react-dom` (18 or newer) are peer dependencies.
+
+## Usage
+
+Put the button inside your form and give it a `complete` function that calls your backend:
+
+```tsx
+import { SmartPasteButton, type SmartPasteComplete } from "react-smart-paste";
+import "react-smart-paste/styles.css";
+
+const complete: SmartPasteComplete = ({ text, fields, signal }) =>
+  fetch("/api/smart-paste", { method: "POST", body: JSON.stringify({ text, fields }), signal });
+
+export function ContactForm() {
+  return (
+    <form>
+      <label>
+        Name <input name="name" />
+      </label>
+      <label>
+        Email <input name="email" type="email" />
+      </label>
+      <label>
+        Country
+        <select name="country">
+          <option value="">Choose…</option>
+          <option value="in">India</option>
+          <option value="us">United States</option>
+        </select>
+      </label>
+
+      <SmartPasteButton complete={complete} />
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+The user copies some text (an email signature, an invoice, a message), presses **Smart paste**, checks the list of proposed values, and presses **Fill all**.
+
+Every control needs a `name`. Good labels give better results: the model sees each field's label, type, options, placeholder and `autocomplete` hint.
+
+## The backend route
+
+`react-smart-paste/server` exports the prompt builder with no React code, so it is safe to import on a server. Send its `system` and `user` messages to any model and return the model's text.
+
+```ts
+// app/api/smart-paste/route.ts (Next.js). Set ANTHROPIC_API_KEY in .env.local
+import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";
+import { buildSmartPastePrompt } from "react-smart-paste/server";
+
+const client = new Anthropic(); // reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY on the server
+
+export async function POST(req: Request) {
+  const { text, fields } = await req.json();
+  if (typeof text !== "string" || text.length > 20000 || !Array.isArray(fields)) {
+    return new Response("Bad request", { status: 400 });
+  }
+
+  const { system, user } = buildSmartPastePrompt({ text, fields });
+  const message = await client.messages.create({
+    model: "claude-opus-5-5",
+    max_tokens: 2048,
+    system,
+    messages: [{ role: "user", content: user }],
+  });
+
+  const reply = message.content.map((block) => (block.type === "text" ? block.text : "")).join("");
+  return new Response(reply);
+}
+```
+
+The same shape works with OpenAI, Gemini or a local model: pass `system` and `user`, return the text.
+
+- Keep the API key in a server-only env variable. Variables named `VITE_*` or `NEXT_PUBLIC_*` are copied into the browser bundle and are not secret.
+- A route like this lets anyone who can reach it spend your AI budget. Put it behind your app's sign-in and add a rate limit.
+
+`complete` may return a `Response`, the model's text as a string, or an object of field values you parsed yourself.
+
+## Button props
+
+| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `complete` | `(request) => Response \| string \| object` | required | Sends `{ text, fields, signal }` to your model. |
+| `form` | `RefObject<HTMLFormElement>` | the enclosing `<form>` | The form to fill, when the button sits outside it. |
+| `overwrite` | `"empty" \| "all"` | `"empty"` | `"empty"` fills blank fields only. `"all"` may replace existing values. |
+| `review` | `boolean` | `true` | Show the proposed values for approval. `false` fills straight away. |
+| `maxLength` | `number` | `20000` | Longest pasted text that will be sent, in characters. |
+| `children` | `ReactNode` | `"Smart paste"` | Button text. |
+| `theme` | `"light" \| "dark" \| "auto"` | `"auto"` | `"auto"` follows the OS setting. |
+| `align` | `"start" \| "end"` | `"start"` | Which side of the button the panel lines up with. |
+| `disabled`, `className` | – | – | Passed to the button / wrapper. |
+| `onApply` | `(changes) => void` | – | Called after fields are filled. |
+| `onError` | `(error) => void` | – | Called when a paste fails. |
+
+## The hook
+
+For your own button and review UI, use `useSmartPaste`:
+
+```tsx
+import { useRef } from "react";
+import { useSmartPaste } from "react-smart-paste";
+
+function ContactForm() {
+  const form = useRef<HTMLFormElement>(null);
+  const smart = useSmartPaste({ form, complete });
+
+  return (
+    <form ref={form}>
+      <input name="email" type="email" />
+
+      <button type="button" onClick={() => smart.paste()}>
+        Paste
+      </button>
+
+      {smart.status === "review" && (
+        <div>
+          {smart.changes.map((change) => (
+            <p key={change.name}>
+              {change.label}: {change.to}
+            </p>
+          ))}
+          <button type="button" onClick={() => smart.accept()}>Fill</button>
+          <button type="button" onClick={smart.discard}>Discard</button>
+        </div>
+      )}
+      {smart.status === "error" && <p role="alert">{smart.error?.message}</p>}
+    </form>
+  );
+}
+```
+
+| Returned | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `status` | `"idle"`, `"working"`, `"review"`, `"applied"`, `"nothing"` (no match) or `"error"`. |
+| `changes` | In `review`, the proposed edits; in `applied`, the edits made. Each has `name`, `label`, `from`, `to`, `value`. |
+| `error` | A `SmartPasteError` with a `code`: `clipboard`, `empty`, `too-long`, `no-form`, `no-fields`, `request` or `response`. |
+| `paste(text?)` | Fill from `text`, or from the clipboard when called with no argument. |
+| `accept(names?)` | Apply the reviewed changes, or only the named fields. |
+| `discard()` / `cancel()` | Drop the proposal, or stop a request in progress. |
+| `undo()` / `canUndo` | Put back the values the last fill replaced. |
+
+The hook takes the same `complete`, `overwrite`, `review`, `maxLength`, `onApply` and `onError` options as the button. `form` is a ref or a function returning the form element.
+
+Reading the clipboard needs a user gesture and permission, and some browsers refuse it. When that happens `error.code` is `"clipboard"`: show a text box and call `paste(text)` with what the user pastes into it. The button does this for you.
+
+## What is read and what is not
+
+Fields are found through the form's controls. These are always left out, so they are never described to the model and never filled:
+
+- `password`, `file` and `hidden` inputs, and buttons
+- fields whose `autocomplete` is a payment token (`cc-number`, `cc-csc`, …), `current-password`, `new-password` or `one-time-code`
+- disabled and read-only controls
+- anything inside an element with `data-smart-paste="off"`
+
+With the default `overwrite="empty"`, fields that already have a value are left out too. The current values of fields are never sent, only their descriptions.
+
+## Safety and privacy
+
+- **The pasted text goes to your model.** Tell your users, as you would for any AI feature. Nothing is sent until they press the button.
+- **The model's answer is validated before it is shown.** Only known field names are accepted, and each value must fit its field: a real date, a listed option, a well-formed email, an `http(s)` URL. Anything else is dropped. Values are set as plain form values, never as HTML.
+- **Pasted text is treated as data.** The prompt tells the model not to follow instructions inside it, and the validation above limits what a manipulated answer could do to choosing wrong values for visible fields, which the user reviews before filling.
+
+## Theming
+
+Override any `--rsp-*` variable on `.rsp`:
+
+```css
+.rsp {
+  --rsp-accent: #7c3aed;
+  --rsp-radius: 10px;
+}
+```
+
+Available variables: `bg`, `fg`, `muted`, `border`, `hover`, `accent`, `on-accent`, `danger`, `radius`, `shadow`, `font`.
+
+## Lower-level helpers
+
+`readFields(form)`, `applyValues(form, values)`, `buildSmartPastePrompt({ text, fields })` and `parseSmartPasteResponse(reply, fields)` are exported for building your own flow.
