Documentation
Full READMEHugging Face Skills
Hugging Face Skills are definitions for AI/ML tasks like dataset creation, model training, and evaluation. The client plugin marketplaces expose the hf-cli skill as the bootstrap path for core Hub operations; additional workflow skills can be installed on demand with hf skills add <skill-name> or discovered by skill-aware clients over CLI/MCP integrations.
The skills in this repository follow the standardized Agent Skills format.
[!NOTE] Just want to give your agent access to the Hugging Face Hub? Start with `hf-cli`. It's the recommended first Skill to install: it teaches your agent every hf command (search models, manage datasets and buckets, launch Spaces, run jobs) and is generated from your locally installed CLI so it stays current.
How do Skills work?
In practice, skills are self-contained folders that package instructions, scripts, and resources together for an AI agent to use on a specific use case. Each folder includes a SKILL.md file with YAML frontmatter (name and description) followed by the guidance your coding agent follows while the skill is active.
[!TIP] If your agent doesn't support skills, you can use `agentsmd/AGENTS.md` directly as a fallback.
The hf-cli skill in this repository is also available through:
- Cursor Marketplace (https://cursor.com/marketplace/huggingface)
- Codex Plugins Directory (https://developers.openai.com/codex/plugins)
Installation
Hugging Face skills are compatible with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, and Cursor.
