Getting it into your agent
It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 | $0.00075 | $0.05094 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00037 | $0.02547 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.01019 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00007 | $0.00509 |
Grade A, and why
nodejs-hono 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 9d 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.

Node.js Hono
Purpose
Build Hono applications — lightweight, edge-ready web framework with Zod validation, RPC client, and cross-runtime (Node, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers) support.
Agent Protocol
Trigger
User request includes: hono, hono app, hono middleware, hono rpc, hono zod, hono cloudflare, hono bun, ultralightweight, edge backend.
Input Context
- Runtime (Node.js, Bun, Deno, Cloudflare Workers)
- Hono version (4.x)
- Validation (Zod, TypeBox)
- Database (Drizzle, Prisma, D1)
- Auth (JWT, session, OAuth)
Output Artifact
App setup, route patterns, middleware chain, RPC client config, validation setup.
Response Format
Produce artifact directly. No preamble, no postamble, no explanations.
Completion Criteria
- Hono app created with correct runtime adapter
- Routes with Zod validation middleware
- RPC client configured for frontend type safety
- Middleware pipeline ordered correctly
- CORS and auth middleware registered
Max Response Length
4096 tokens
Architecture Decision Trees
Hono vs Express vs Fastify (for Node.js)
| Criterion | Hono | Express | Fastify |
|---|---|---|---|
| Performance | ~60k req/s | ~30k req/s | ~50k req/s |
| Bundle size | ~14KB | ~150KB | ~200KB |
| Edge support | Cloudflare, Deno, Bun, Lambda | Node only | Node + AWS Lambda |
| RPC type safety | Built-in (hono/client) | None | None |
| Validation | Zod/TypeBox middleware | Manual | Schema-first |
| Ecosystem | Small, growing | Largest | Medium |
Decision: Edge deployment or ultra-light → Hono. Full ecosystem → Express. Performance + schema → Fastify.
Runtime Selection
| Runtime | Adapter | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Node.js | @hono/node-server |
Existing Node ecosystem |
| Cloudflare Workers | hono (native) |
Edge compute, D1, KV |
| Bun | hono (native) |
Fast startup, TypeScript native |
| Deno | hono (npm/JSR) |
Deno Deploy, permissions |
| Vercel | @hono/vercel |
Serverless, Next.js BFF |
| AWS Lambda | @hono/aws-lambda |
Lambda + API Gateway |
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

nodejs-hono is a skill published in the GitHub repository j4flmao/agent-skills (22 stars, last pushed 2d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 75 tokens to every session and 5,094 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
