--- name: hf-cli description: "Hugging Face Hub CLI (`hf`) for downloading, uploading, and managing models, datasets, spaces, buckets, repos, papers, jobs, and more on the Hugging Face Hub. Use when: handling authentication; managing local cache; managing Hugging Face Buckets; running or scheduling jobs on Hugging Face infrastructure; managing Hugging Face repos; discussions and pull requests; browsing models, datasets and spaces; reading, searching, or browsing academic papers; managing collections; querying datasets; configuring spaces; setting up webhooks; or deploying and managing HF Inference Endpoints. Make sure to use this skill whenever the user mentions 'hf', 'huggingface', 'Hugging Face', 'huggingface-cli', or 'hugging face cli', or wants to do anything related to the Hugging Face ecosystem and to AI and ML in general. Also use for cloud storage needs like training checkpoints, data pipelines, or agent traces. Use even if the user doesn't explicitly ask for a CLI command. Replaces the deprecated `huggingface-cli`." --- Install: `curl -LsSf https://hf.co/cli/install.sh | bash -s`. The Hugging Face Hub CLI tool `hf` is available. IMPORTANT: The `hf` command replaces the deprecated `huggingface-cli` command. Use `hf --help` to view available functions. Note that auth commands are now all under `hf auth` e.g. `hf auth whoami`. Generated with `huggingface_hub v1.19.0`. Run `hf skills add --force` to regenerate. ## Commands - `hf cp SRC` — Copy files between local paths, repositories, and buckets. `[--format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]` - `hf download REPO_ID` — Download files from the Hub. `[--type [model|dataset|space] --revision TEXT --include TEXT --exclude TEXT --cache-dir TEXT --local-dir TEXT --force-download --dry-run --max-workers INTEGER --format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]` - `hf env` — Print information about the environment. `[--format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]` - `hf sync` — Sync files between local directory and a bucket. `[--delete --ignore-times --ignore-sizes --plan TEXT --apply TEXT --dry-run --include TEXT --exclude TEXT --filter-from TEXT --existing --ignore-existing --verbose --format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]` - `hf update` — Update the `hf` CLI to the latest version. `[--format [auto|human|agent|json|quiet]]` - `hf upload REPO_ID` — Upload a file or a folder to the Hub.

Prefer setting `HF_TOKEN` env var instead of passing `--token`. - `--type` — The type of repository (model, dataset, or space). ## Mounting repos as local filesystems To mount Hub repositories or buckets as local filesystems — no download, no copy, no waiting — use `hf-mount`. Files are fetched on demand. GitHub: https://github.com/huggingface/hf-mount Install: `curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/huggingface/hf-mount/main/install.sh | sh` Some command examples: - `hf-mount start repo openai-community/gpt2 /tmp/gpt2` — mount a repo (read-only) - `hf-mount start --hf-token $HF_TOKEN bucket myuser/my-bucket /tmp/data` — mount a bucket (read-write) - `hf-mount status` / `hf-mount stop /tmp/data` — list or unmount ## Tips - Use `hf <command> --help` for full options, descriptions, usage, and real-world examples - Authenticate with `HF_TOKEN` env var (recommended) or with `--token` - Update the CLI with `hf update` (uses the correct command for the detected install method)

- huggingface-community-evalsRun evaluations for Hugging Face Hub models using inspect-ai and lighteval on local hardware. Use for backend selection, local GPU evals, and choosing between vLLM / Transformers / accelerate. Not for HF Jobs orchestration, model-card PRs, .eval_results publication, or community-evals automation.
- huggingface-datasetsUse this skill for Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API workflows that fetch subset/split metadata, paginate rows, search text, apply filters, download parquet URLs, and read size or statistics.
- huggingface-gradioBuild Gradio web UIs and demos in Python. Use when creating or editing Gradio apps, components, event listeners, layouts, or chatbots.
- huggingface-llm-trainerTrain or fine-tune language and vision models using TRL (Transformer Reinforcement Learning) or Unsloth with Hugging Face Jobs infrastructure. Covers SFT, DPO, GRPO and reward modeling training methods, plus GGUF conversion for local deployment. Includes guidance on the TRL Jobs package, UV scripts with PEP 723 format, dataset preparation and validation, hardware selection, cost estimation, Trackio monitoring, Hub authentication, model selection/leaderboards and model persistence. Use for tasks involving cloud GPU training, GGUF conversion, or when users mention training on Hugging Face Jobs without local GPU setup.
- huggingface-local-modelsUse to select models to run locally with llama.cpp and GGUF on CPU, Mac Metal, CUDA, or ROCm. Covers finding GGUFs, quant selection, running servers, exact GGUF file lookup, conversion, and OpenAI-compatible local serving.
- huggingface-lora-space-builderBuild and publish a Gradio demo on Hugging Face Spaces for a user-provided LoRA. Use when someone asks to create, generate, ship, or publish a Space, demo, Gradio app, or playground for a LoRA — including LoRAs for Qwen-Image, Qwen-Image-Edit, LTX-Video, Wan, FLUX, SDXL, or other diffusion base models. Also triggers when someone describes a LoRA they trained or hosts on the Hub and wants to share it. Covers picking the right base pipeline and `diffusers` inference recipe, designing a UI tailored to the LoRA's task and inputs (Union/multi-task control, edit, video, image, etc.), respecting model-card recommendations (trigger words, steps, guidance, LoRA scale, example inputs), and shipping to ZeroGPU hardware as a private Space by default.
- huggingface-paper-publisherPublish and manage research papers on Hugging Face Hub. Supports creating paper pages, linking papers to models/datasets, claiming authorship, and generating professional markdown-based research articles.
