Hono Skill — Setup Guide

Source: yusukebe/hono-skill GitHub: yusukebe/hono-skill Skills: 1 skill · 11.7K total installs Category: Web Development First Seen: January 21, 2026 (catalogued August 18, 2026 sweep) Quality Tier: 🟡 Trusted — Snyk Warn on the hono skill (named); Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass and Socket Pass; 157 GitHub stars

Hono is a fast, lightweight web framework for the edge (Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js), and this skill is authored by its creator, Yusuke Wada (yusukebe). It gives agents inline API knowledge for building Hono applications and teaches the npx hono request command, which tests endpoints without starting an HTTP server (using app.request() internally). The skill also coordinates with the optional hono-docs MCP server, preferring its tools over the inline reference when configured, and it warns against passing credentials directly in CLI arguments.

Installation

npx skills add yusukebe/hono-skill

Individual skills install with the explicit repo form:

npx skills add https://github.com/yusukebe/hono-skill --skill hono

Prerequisites

Requirement Details
Node.js + npx For the skill installer and the npx hono request CLI
Optional The hono-docs MCP server for live documentation instead of the inline reference

What It Provides

  • Inline Hono API knowledge for agents: routing, middleware, bindings, and edge deployment patterns
  • npx hono request endpoint testing without starting a server: 
    npx hono request [file] -P /path
npx hono request [file] -X POST -P /api/users -d '{"name": "test"}'
  • Guidance to use workers-fetch when Cloudflare Workers bindings (KV, D1, R2) are required
  • Credential hygiene: environment variables for sensitive values, never CLI arguments
  • Preference for the hono-docs MCP server tools when configured

Quick Start

  1. Install: npx skills add yusukebe/hono-skill
  2. Test an endpoint without a server: npx hono request [file] -P /path
  3. For Workers bindings, use workers-fetch instead of hono request

CorpusIQ Use Cases

Use Case How
Edge API work Hono is the standard for lightweight edge APIs — directly relevant to MCP server and connector endpoints
Agent-built services Inline framework knowledge means agents scaffold correct Hono apps without web lookups
Fast endpoint testing npx hono request gives quick route verification during agent builds
Authoritative source Skills written by the framework's creator carry canonical patterns

Limitations / Verification

  • Security audits on the hono skill: Gen Agent Trust Hub Pass, Socket Pass, Snyk Warn (named in the tier)
  • Publisher-page total verified (11.7K on the single skill); 157 GitHub stars as of the sweep
  • Below the 20K install guide bar — drafted on framework-author authority (Hono's creator is the publisher) and direct relevance to agent-built edge services
  • Single-skill cluster; the inline reference is a snapshot and the skill itself defers to the hono-docs MCP server when available
npx skills add yusukebe/hono-skill   # verify install works
