name: hono description: Use for Hono (web framework) development when Codex needs to consult Hono documentation or test Hono apps via the hono CLI. Trigger on requests about Hono CLI usage, searching/browsing Hono docs, or testing Hono routes without running a server.

Hono

Overview

Use the hono CLI to find documentation quickly and test handlers without starting a server.

Workflow

1. Search documentation: hono search <query>
2. Read relevant docs: hono docs [path]
3. Test implementation: hono request [file]

Core Commands

• hono --help - List available commands
• hono docs [path] - Browse Hono documentation
• hono search <query> - Search documentation
• hono request [file] - Test app requests without starting a server

Examples

Copy# Search for topics
hono search middleware
hono search "getting started"

# View documentation
hono docs /docs/api/context
hono docs /docs/guides/middleware

# Test your app
hono request -P /api/users src/index.ts
hono request -P /api/users -X POST -d '{"name":"Alice"}' src/index.ts

Usage Notes

• Prefer hono search before guessing doc paths.
• Use hono docs to confirm API details before coding.
• Use hono request to validate routes and handlers during development.
