Hono Skill

Develop Hono applications efficiently using Hono CLI (

@hono/cli

).

Setup

You can use Hono CLI without global installation via npx:

bash

npx @hono/cli <command>

Or install globally (optional):

bash

npm install -g @hono/cli

Commands for AI

1. Search Documentation

bash

hono search "<query>" --pretty

Search for Hono APIs and features. Use

--pretty

for human-readable output.

2. View Documentation

bash

hono docs [path]

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

Examples:

bash

hono docs /docs/api/context
hono docs /docs/api/hono
hono docs /docs/helpers/factory

3. Request Testing

bash

# GET request
hono request [file] -P /path

# POST request
hono request [file] -X POST -P /api/users -d '{"name": "test"}'

# Request with headers
hono request [file] -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -P /api/protected

Uses

app.request()

internally, so no server startup required for testing.

4. Optimization & Bundling

bash

# Bundle optimization
hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js

# With minification
hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js --minify

# Specify target (cloudflare-workers, deno, etc.)
hono optimize [entry] -t cloudflare-workers

Development Workflow

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

Guidelines

Always search with
```
hono search
```
before implementing unfamiliar APIs
Use
```
--pretty
```
flag with
```
hono search
```
(default output is JSON)
```
hono request
```
works without starting an HTTP server
Search for middleware usage with
```
hono search "middleware name"
```
