At a glance

Hono patterns for TypeScript API routes, middleware, request and response typing, streaming, WebSockets, and Cloudflare Workers deployment.

  • Users mention Hono
  • SKILL.md covers Reference Repositories, Upstream Grounding and Middleware And Context
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Cloudflare Worker handlers

What it does

Hono is an agent skill from EpicenterHQ/epicenter. Hono patterns for TypeScript API routes, middleware, request and response typing, streaming, WebSockets, and Cloudflare Workers deployment. Use when users mention Hono, honojs, Cloudflare Worker handlers, Hono middleware, or Hono route typing.

Its SKILL.md is about 510 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Realtime and WebSockets. It works with Hono, Cloudflare Workers, TypeScript and Cloudflare. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first apps.

When your agent uses it

  • Users mention Hono
  • Cloudflare Worker handlers
  • Hono middleware
  • Hono route typing

Example prompts

  • “/hono”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5b4bb69. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hono loads about 513 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 62 tokens; SKILL.md has 210 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~62
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~513

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 210 words (~513 tokens).

“When Hono route typing, middleware order, context variables, response helpers, streaming, WebSockets, or Cloudflare Worker runtime behavior affects correctness, ask DeepWiki a narrow question against honojs/hono or cloudflare/cloudflare-docs before relying on memory. Use it to orient, then verify decisive details…”
