hono-patterns from smicolon/ai-kit is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/hono-patterns@git:20260903.50c14caPins git:20260903.50c14ca in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

This skill activates when writing Hono routes, handlers, middleware, or discussing Hono application architecture. It provides patterns for routing, middleware composition, error handling, and TypeScript integration.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Hono Patterns
Core patterns for building Hono applications.
## Routing Patterns
### Modular Route Organization
Organize routes in separate files and compose with `app.route()`:
```typescript
// routes/users.ts
import { Hono } from 'hono'
import type { Env } from '../types/bindings'
const users = new Hono<Env>()
users.get('/', (c) => c.json({ users: [] }))
users.get('/:id', (c) => c.json({ id: c.req.param('id') }))
users.post('/', (c) => c.json({ created: true }, 201))
export { users }
// index.ts
import { users } from './routes/users'
import { posts } from './routes/posts'
app.route('/api/users', users)
app.route('/api/posts', posts)
```
### Route Groups with Shared Middleware
```typescript
const api = new Hono<Env>()
// Apply auth to all /api routes
api.use('*', authMiddleware)
api.route('/users', users)
api.route('/posts', posts)
app.route('/api', api)
// Public routes remain unprotected
app.get('/health', (c) => c.json({ status: 'ok' }))
```
### Chained Route Definition (for RPC)
```typescript
// Chain routes for proper type inference
const routes = app
.get('/users', (c) => c.json({ users: [] }))
.post('/users', (c) => c.json({ created: true }, 201))

How to install
mdr add smicolon/ai-kit/hono-patterns@sha256:19acff18e4674b4eThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260903.50c14ca, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
