Looking for the
hfCLI Skill? It’s the quickest way to connect your agent to the Hugging Face ecosystem. See the Hugging Face CLI for AI Agents guide.
Hugging Face provides a curated set of Skills built for AI builders. Train models, create datasets, run evaluations, track experiments. Each Skill is a self-contained SKILL.md that your agent follows while working on the task.
Skills work with all major coding agents: Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, Google Gemini CLI, and Cursor. Learn more about the format at agentskills.io.

- “Use the HF datasets Skill to create a new dataset from these examples”
Your agent loads the corresponding SKILL.md instructions and helper scripts automatically.
