Does it handle environment variables?

Yes, the skill leverages Bun's native ability to automatically load .env files into process.env, simplifying configuration management.

How does this skill improve development speed?

It guides Claude to use Bun's native APIs, such as Bun.file and Bun.write, which are significantly faster than standard Node.js modules for file operations.

Does this skill support TypeScript?

Absolutely. Bun executes TypeScript natively without separate transpilation steps, and this skill provides patterns for direct execution and testing of .ts files.

Why does the skill insist on the node: prefix for imports?

Using the node: protocol (e.g., node:fs) is a Bun best practice that ensures clarity, Biome compliance, and clear differentiation between built-in modules and npm packages.

Can I use this for existing Node.js projects?

Yes, the skill includes specific patterns for migrating from npm, Yarn, or pnpm to Bun, including instructions for lockfile conversion and environment setup.
