hono

Hono patterns for TypeScript API routes, middleware, request and response typing, streaming, WebSockets, and Cloudflare Workers deployment. Use when users mention Hono, honojs, Cloudflare Worker handlers, Hono middleware, or Hono route typing.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by EpicenterHQ on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Hono AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter/tree/main/.agents/skills/hono
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter.git /tmp/epicenter
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/epicenter/.agents/skills/hono .claude/skills/hono

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Hono in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Hono on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Hono is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Upstream Grounding

When Hono route typing, middleware order, context variables, response helpers, streaming, WebSockets, or Cloudflare Worker runtime behavior affects correctness, ask DeepWiki a narrow question against honojs/hono or cloudflare/cloudflare-docs before relying on memory. Use it to orient, then verify decisive details against local installed types, source, or official docs before changing code.

Skip DeepWiki for stable HTTP basics and repo-local API conventions already visible in the code.

Middleware And Context

Middleware is onion-style and order-sensitive. Resource setup belongs before auth; auth belongs before protected routes.
Use createFactory<Env>() and Env['Variables'] to type c.var and c.set().
Middleware that continues must await next(). Middleware that rejects or redirects should return the response and skip next().
Handlers should return Hono response helpers such as c.json(), c.text(), c.html(), or a Response.
On Cloudflare Workers, read bindings from c.env and request lifecycle APIs from c.executionCtx.
Register CORS before auth routes when cookie auth or credentialed cross-origin frontend calls are involved.
Test route behavior with app.request() or testClient plus mocked bindings and execution context before reaching for a network server.
Keep WebSocket upgrade detection explicit whenever generic middleware might mutate response headers.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Hono AI skill do?

Why use Hono on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Hono is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Hono in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/EpicenterHQ/epicenter/tree/main/.agents/skills/hono. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Hono?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Hono?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Hono with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Hono AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by EpicenterHQ. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
