Build fast applications with Bun JavaScript runtime. An agent skill from hoodini/ai-agents-skills.

  • Creating Bun projects
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Package Management, Bun Runtime and Bun APIs, plus 8 more sections
  • Calls bun, bunx and curl; reaches bun.sh and registry.npmjs.org; needs API_KEY
  • Optimizing Node.js alternatives

What it does

Bun is an agent skill from hoodini/ai-agents-skills. Build fast applications with Bun JavaScript runtime. Use when creating Bun projects, using Bun APIs, bundling, testing, or optimizing Node.js alternatives. Triggers on Bun, Bun runtime, bun.sh, bunx, Bun serve, Bun test, JavaScript runtime.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with Bun, JavaScript and Node.js. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 AI Agent Skills Repository - A curated collection of specialized skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf). Created by Yuval Avidani using…

When your agent uses it

  • Creating Bun projects
  • Optimizing Node.js alternatives
  • JavaScript runtime

Example prompts

  • “/bun”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7a43d8. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bun
    • bunx
    • curl
    • bash

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • bun.sh
    • registry.npmjs.org

    Also links to:

    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

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

Context cost

Bun loads about 2.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 108 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.8k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 108 words (~2,804 tokens).

“Build and run JavaScript/TypeScript applications with Bun's all-in-one toolkit.”
