Hono

Apply these conventions when writing, modifying, reviewing, or debugging Hono applications.

Documentation Workflow

• Prefer the project-installed or globally available hono command from @hono/cli for Hono-specific docs lookup.
• Before substantial Hono work, check the best-practices page:

  hono docs /docs/guides/best-practices
  

• When choosing middleware, search the Hono docs first:

  hono search middleware
  hono search "jwt middleware" --limit 10
  hono search "third-party middleware" --pretty
  

• Use hono docs <path> on the best matching search result path before coding. Search output is JSON by default, which is useful for agents and scripts.
• If hono is unavailable, install @hono/cli using the repo's package-manager policy or ask before adding a global tool.
