What hono does

The skill walks through building a Hono server, from defining endpoints to reading request parameters and returning JSON or other responses. It covers middleware for CORS and authentication, request validation with Zod, and splitting an app into route groups.

For RPC, the examples show how to expose route types and consume them through hc. The documented runtime options include Cloudflare Workers, Deno, Bun, Node.js, and WinterCG-compatible environments. Since deployment targets differ, check the runtime before carrying project settings across environments.

To add the skill with the Claude Code templates package, run npx claude-code-templates@latest --skill web-development/hono. The entry also provides an alternative using npx skills and a skill file path.

What it helps with

define REST API routes and handle request parameters
add CORS or bearer authentication middleware
validate JSON input with Zod
organize an app into route groups
connect a typed RPC client to an API

Example prompts for the agent

Build a Hono REST API with routes for posts and users.
Add CORS and bearer authentication middleware to this API.
Set up an hc client using the Hono route types.
