Form CAPTCHA: Stop Contact Form Spam Without Losing Real Leads
Drop it into your AI assistant, point it at your form, and get layered spam protection that blocks bots but never blocks a human.
It adds layered spam protection to your web forms (reCAPTCHA plus a honeypot, a minimum-time gate, and a visible manual fallback) and can verify the token server side before a lead reaches your CRM.
Any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex). No separate app, no subscription, and no API key required to run the skill. If you choose to use Google reCAPTCHA, you provide your own free site and secret keys; the built-in honeypot and time-gate layers work with no external service at all.
Works with
If your inbox is filling with junk submissions, Form CAPTCHA is the fastest way to add real form spam protection to any contact form. It is a portable SKILL.md file you drop into Claude, Cursor, Codex, or Claude Code: point it at your form pages and it wires in a layered defense that stops bots cold. You get a reCAPTCHA checkbox, an invisible honeypot field, a minimum-time gate, and a visible manual "I am not a robot" fallback so a real person always gets through even if reCAPTCHA fails to load. If your form posts to a webhook or CRM, it can also add a server-side verification step so bots cannot bypass the page and hit your endpoint directly. It is a practical recaptcha alternative and add-on that reduces spam without coding it all by hand.
- Kill the flood of bot submissions clogging your contact form and CRM
- Keep every real lead: a visible manual fallback fires when reCAPTCHA cannot load
- Layered defense out of the box: reCAPTCHA plus honeypot plus a minimum-time gate
- Works with no external service using the built-in honeypot and time-gate, so you are not locked into Google
- Stops bots that attack your webhook directly with optional server-side token verification
- No new subscription, no dashboard to learn, no separate app to babysit
- 1Drop the skill in
Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. Nothing to install and no account to create for the skill itself.
- 2Point it at your form
Tell it which page or form file has the problem. It scans your HTML and JavaScript, finds every form and the webhook or endpoint each one posts to, and reports back what it found.
- 3It asks before it needs anything
It confirms the choices up front in one message: reCAPTCHA v2 checkbox or v3 invisible, whether you want server-side verification, and your keys if you use reCAPTCHA. It waits for your answer before touching code.
- 4It adds the protection
It injects the reCAPTCHA loader, a hidden honeypot field, a minimum-time gate, and a visible manual checkbox fallback into your form handler, with retry logic so the box always appears one way or another.
- 5It wires up server-side verification (optional)
If your form feeds a webhook or CRM, it adds a verify-then-allow gate that checks the token before the lead is created, so a bot cannot skip the page and post straight to your endpoint.
- 6You review and test
It shows you exactly what changed and how to test locally: submit with no check (blocked), submit checked (goes through), and confirm the layout did not break. Nothing is published without your say-so.
- 7You ship it
Once it passes, you deploy your updated files and confirm the live page is serving the protected form.
- Updated form HTML with the reCAPTCHA loader and a human-verification block
- A hardened form handler with honeypot, minimum-time gate, and manual fallback
- An optional server-side verification gate that runs before your CRM or webhook
- A local test checklist so you can confirm it blocks bots and passes humans
- A clear before-and-after summary of every change made
No-Google, privacy-first mode
Skip Google reCAPTCHA entirely and rely on the built-in honeypot, minimum-time gate, and manual checkbox. Cuts most spam with zero external dependency, which is ideal for privacy-sensitive or GDPR-conscious sites.
Webhook and CRM guard
When your forms post to an automation or CRM, add the server-side verification step so bots that attack the endpoint directly are rejected before a contact is ever created.
Multi-form and multi-page cleanup
Protect several forms across multiple pages in one pass, keeping the same layered defense consistent everywhere.

What is the Form CAPTCHA skill?
It is a SKILL.md file that teaches your AI assistant how to add layered form spam protection to your contact forms: a reCAPTCHA checkbox, an invisible honeypot, a minimum-time gate, and a visible manual fallback, plus optional server-side token verification before your CRM.
Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?
Yes. It runs in any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You drive it in plain language.
Do I need to install anything or pay a subscription?
No. There is no separate app, no subscription, and no API key needed to run the skill. If you choose Google reCAPTCHA you supply your own free keys, but the honeypot and time-gate layers work with no external service at all.
Will it block real people or hurt my leads?
That is the whole point of the design. A visible manual I am not a robot checkbox fires automatically if reCAPTCHA fails to load, so a genuine visitor always has a way through while bots get stopped.
Can it stop bots that skip my form and hit the webhook directly?
Yes. When your form posts to a webhook or CRM, it can add a server-side verification step that checks the token first, so a bot cannot bypass the page and post straight to your endpoint.
Do I need coding or design skills to use it?
No. You point it at your form and answer a few setup questions. It makes the changes, explains them, and gives you a simple test checklist. You just review and deploy.
An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Form CAPTCHA is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.
It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, form captcha asks you for it first instead of inventing.
Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.
