Hono Skill

Develop Hono applications efficiently using Hono CLI (@hono/cli).

Setup

You can use Hono CLI:

bash
1npx hono <command>

Commands for AI

1. Search Documentation

bash
1hono search "<query>" --pretty

Search for Hono APIs and features. Use --pretty for human-readable output.

2. View Documentation

bash
1hono docs [path]

Display detailed documentation for a specific path found in search results.

Examples:

bash
1hono docs /docs/api/context
2hono docs /docs/api/hono
3hono docs /docs/helpers/factory

3. Request Testing

bash
1# GET request
2hono request [file] -P /path
3
4# POST request
5hono request [file] -X POST -P /api/users -d '{"name": "test"}'
6
7# Request with headers
8hono request [file] -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -P /api/protected

Uses app.request() internally, so no server startup required for testing.

4. Optimization & Bundling

bash
1# Bundle optimization
2hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js
3
4# With minification
5hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js --minify
6
7# Specify target (cloudflare-workers, deno, etc.)
8hono optimize [entry] -t cloudflare-workers

Development Workflow

1. Research: Use hono search → hono docs to investigate APIs and features
2. Implement: Write the code
3. Test: Use hono request to test endpoints
4. Optimize: Use hono optimize for production builds when needed

Guidelines

• Always search with hono search before implementing unfamiliar APIs
• hono request works without starting an HTTP server
• Search for middleware usage with hono search "middleware name"
