What is use-bun-instead-of-node-vite-npm-pnpm?

A project rule that makes Bun—the JavaScript runtime, package manager, test runner, and build tool—the default choice instead of Node.js and tools such as npm, Vite, Jest, or Webpack.

It guides running files, installing packages, running tests, building frontend files, loading environment variables, serving web apps, and connecting to SQLite, Redis, or Postgres with Bun.

It keeps commands, libraries, and built-in APIs consistent across the project, avoiding mixed tool choices and duplicate dependencies.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00000	$0.00744
Opus 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00298
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00000	$0.00149
Haiku 4.5	$0.00000	$0.00074

Security

Grade A, and why

use-bun-instead-of-node-vite-npm-pnpm scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 112 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Default to using Bun instead of Node.js.

Use bun <file> instead of node <file> or ts-node <file>
Use bun test instead of jest or vitest
Use bun build <file.html|file.ts|file.css> instead of webpack or esbuild
Use bun install instead of npm install or yarn install or bun install
Use bun run <script> instead of npm run <script> or yarn run <script> or bun run <script>
Bun automatically loads .env, so don't use dotenv.

APIs

Bun.serve() supports WebSockets, HTTPS, and routes. Don't use express.
bun:sqlite for SQLite. Don't use better-sqlite3.
Bun.redis for Redis. Don't use ioredis.
Bun.sql for Postgres. Don't use pg or postgres.js.
WebSocket is built-in. Don't use ws.
Prefer Bun.file over node:fs's readFile/writeFile
Bun.$ls instead of execa.

Testing

Use bun test to run tests.

import { test, expect } from "bun:test";

test("hello world", () => {
  expect(1).toBe(1);
});

Frontend

Use HTML imports with Bun.serve(). Don't use vite. HTML imports fully support React, CSS, Tailwind.

Server:

import index from "./index.html"

Bun.serve({
  routes: {
    "/": index,
    "/api/users/:id": {
      GET: (req) => {
        return new Response(JSON.stringify({ id: req.params.id }));
      },
    },
  },
  // optional websocket support
  websocket: {
    open: (ws) => {
      ws.send("Hello, world!");
    },
    message: (ws, message) => {
      ws.send(message);
    },
    close: (ws) => {
      // handle close
    }
  },
  development: {
    hmr: true,
    console: true,
  }
})

HTML files can import .tsx, .jsx or .js files directly and Bun's bundler will transpile & bundle automatically. <link> tags can point to stylesheets and Bun's CSS bundler will bundle.

<html>
  <body>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
    <script type="module" src="./frontend.tsx"></script>
  </body>
</html>
