Hono Core

If you're building APIs or web services with Hono, this skill gives Claude the core framework documentation it needs. Hono is a lightweight (~14KB) web framework that runs on basically everything: Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, Vercel, AWS Lambda. The appeal is writing once and deploying anywhere without runtime-specific code. It's built on Web Standards (fetch, Request, Response), so if you know modern JavaScript, you already know the primitives. The routing is fast, TypeScript support is excellent, and there's a solid middleware ecosystem. This is the core skill, so expect fundamentals like routing, middleware, and basic patterns rather than advanced integrations.

Hono - Ultrafast Web Framework

Overview

Hono is a small, simple, and ultrafast web framework built on Web Standards. It runs on Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, and more with the same codebase. The name means "flame" in Japanese.

Key Features:

Built on Web Standards (Request/Response/fetch)
Multi-runtime: Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, Vercel, AWS Lambda
Ultrafast routing with RegExpRouter
First-class TypeScript support
Lightweight (~14KB minified)
Rich middleware ecosystem

Installation:

# Create new project (recommended)
npm create hono@latest my-app

# Or install in existing project
npm install hono

# Runtime-specific adapters
npm install @hono/node-server  # Node.js

When to Use This Skill

Use Hono when:

Building APIs for edge/serverless environments (Cloudflare Workers, Vercel Edge)
Need multi-runtime portability (same code on Bun, Deno, Node.js)
Want TypeScript-first development with excellent type inference
Building lightweight, high-performance APIs
Need built-in middleware for common patterns (CORS, auth, compression)
