Develop Hono applications efficiently using Hono CLI (@hono/cli).
You can use Hono CLI without global installation via npx:
npx @hono/cli <command>
Or install globally (optional):
npm install -g @hono/cli
hono search "<query>" --pretty
Search for Hono APIs and features. Use --pretty for human-readable output.
hono docs [path]
Display detailed documentation for a specific path found in search results.
Examples:
hono docs /docs/api/context
hono docs /docs/api/hono
hono docs /docs/helpers/factory
# GET request
hono request [file] -P /path
# POST request
hono request [file] -X POST -P /api/users -d '{"name": "test"}'
# Request with headers
hono request [file] -H "Authorization: Bearer token" -P /api/protected
Uses app.request() internally, so no server startup required for testing.
# Bundle optimization
hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js
# With minification
hono optimize [entry] -o dist/index.js --minify
# Specify target (cloudflare-workers, deno, etc.)
hono optimize [entry] -t cloudflare-workers

Deep review of branch diffs, working trees, or GitHub PRs at any size. Use when the user asks for CodeRabbit-grade review, an incremental re-review after new pushes, publication of findings to a PR, a cross-LLM peer-review verdict round, or conformance review against spec artifacts. Don't use for applying fixes, reviewing specs or PRDs as documents, or quick single-file feedback.
tools
Orchestrate Claude and Codex worker TUIs from a controller agent through herdr panes and the herdr socket CLI. Use when delegating bounded tasks to herdr worker panes, running user-activated plan-first delegations (Claude Code plan mode, Codex Plan mode), waiting on native agent status (idle, working, blocked, done), or verifying worker reports. Workers launch as interactive TUIs via herdr agent start — never through headless runners (compozy exec, claude -p, codex exec). Not for cmux workspaces (see cmux-orchestration) and not for end-user herdr control.
tools
TanStack Query, Router, and Form patterns for React. Use when writing useQuery/queryOptions, mutations, caching, file-based routes, search params, loaders, or TanStack Form validation. Don't use for TanStack Start, TanStack DB/collections, Zustand client state, or non-TanStack routing.
development
Use when the user wants to design, redesign, shape, critique, audit, polish, clarify, distill, harden, optimize, adapt, animate, colorize, extract, or otherwise improve a frontend interface. Covers websites, landing pages, dashboards, product UI, app shells, components, forms, settings, onboarding, and empty states. Handles UX review, visual hierarchy, information architecture, cognitive load, accessibility, performance, responsive behavior, theming, anti-patterns, typography, fonts, spacing, layout, alignment, color, motion, micro-interactions, UX copy, error states, edge cases, i18n, and reusable design systems or tokens. Also use for bland designs that need to become bolder or more delightful, loud designs that should become quieter, live browser iteration on UI elements, or ambitious visual effects that should feel technically extraordinary. Not for backend-only or non-UI tasks.
