About hono
A skill for Hono application developers that uses Hono CLI to look up documentation, test requests, and optimize bundles.
Key features
- 01Search Hono API documentation
- 02View documentation by path
- 03Test requests without server startup
- 04Optimize and bundle applications
Use cases
- 01Look up unfamiliar Hono APIs
- 02Test endpoints and request headers
- 03Create optimized builds for a target
Install
Copy the command and run it in a terminal.

npx skills add https:/ / github.com/ openstatushq/ openstatus --skill honoAfter installing, type/honoin Claude Code to confirm it loaded.
Details
From the project READMEHono Skill
Develop Hono applications efficiently using Hono CLI (@hono/cli).
Setup
You can use Hono CLI without global installation via npx:
npx @hono/cli <command>
Or install globally (optional):
npm install -g @hono/cli
Commands for AI
1. Search Documentation
hono search "<query>" --pretty
Search for Hono APIs and features. Use --pretty for human-readable output.
2. View Documentation
hono docs [path]
Display detailed documentation for a specific path found in search results.
Examples:
hono docs /docs/api/context
hono docs /docs/api/hono
hono docs /docs/helpers/factory
3. Request Testing
# 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
# 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 docsto investigate APIs and features - Implement: Write the code
- Test: Use
hono requestto test endpoints - Optimize: Use
hono optimizefor production builds when needed
Guidelines
- Always search with
hono searchbefore implementing unfamiliar APIs - Use
--prettyflag withhono search(default output is JSON) hono requestworks without starting an HTTP server- Search for middleware usage with
hono search "middleware name"
