What is it?

Hugging Face Skills is a set of self-contained skill folders that package instructions, scripts and resources for AI coding agents working on machine learning tasks. Each skill is a directory with a SKILL.md file that the agent loads when the task matches, covering areas such as the hf command-line tool, model training with TRL, dataset exploration through the Dataset Viewer API, running evaluations, building Gradio demos and Spaces, memory estimation for model weights, and AWS SageMaker deployment.

The repository follows the Agent Skills format and works with Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor. The hf-cli skill is the recommended starting point for core Hub operations such as searching models, managing datasets and buckets, and launching jobs. Additional workflow skills can be installed on demand with the hf skills add command.

Key features

  • 01Ships an hf-cli skill that teaches agents the hf commands for Hub operations.
  • 02Covers model training and fine-tuning with TRL and Unsloth on Hugging Face Jobs.
  • 03Provides dataset querying, pagination and filtering through the Dataset Viewer API.
  • 04Includes skills for building and deploying Gradio apps and Hugging Face Spaces.
  • 05Offers an hf-mem skill to estimate memory needed to load Safetensors or GGUF weights.
  • 06Includes AWS SageMaker deployment skills for planning, IAM setup and endpoints.

Use cases

  • Letting a coding agent manage models, datasets and Spaces on the Hub from the terminal.
  • Fine-tuning a language or vision model with guidance from a packaged training skill.
  • Estimating GPU memory before loading a large model for inference.
  • Deploying a Hub model to Amazon SageMaker with production defaults.

Quick start

  1. 1

    Register the repository as a Claude Code plugin marketplace

    /plugin marketplace add huggingface/skills
  2. 2

    Install the hf-cli skill

    /plugin install hf-cli@huggingface/skills
  3. 3

    Install any additional Hugging Face skill with the hf CLI

    hf skills add <skill-name>

Things to know

  • Install instructions differ per client, so Codex, Gemini CLI and Cursor need manual setup steps.
