What it does

Hono is an agent skill from vana-com/personal-server. Efficiently develop Hono applications using Hono CLI. Supports documentation search, API reference lookup, request testing, and bundle optimization.

Its SKILL.md is about 500 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 Hono and TypeScript. The repository describes itself as: TypeScript implementation of the Vana Data Portability Protocol's Personal Server. The licence is MIT.

Example prompts

  • “/hono”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Search Documentation
  2. View Documentation
  3. Request Testing
  4. Optimization & Bundling

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0b67a90. 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:

    • npx
    • npm

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 500 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 38 tokens; SKILL.md has 147 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~38
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~500

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.

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

  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
  • 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"
