Hugging Face CLI for AI Agents

The hf CLI is a great way to connect your agents to the Hugging Face ecosystem. Search models, manage datasets and buckets, launch Spaces, and run jobs from any coding agent.

Tip

This is a quick guide on agents that use the CLI. For more detailed information, see the CLI Reference itself.

Install the CLI

Make sure the hf CLI is installed and up to date. See the CLI installation guide for setup instructions.

Add the CLI Skill

Skills give your agent the context it needs to use tools effectively. Install the CLI Skill so your agent knows every hf command and stays current with the latest updates. Learn more about Skills at agentskills.io.

# install globally (available in all projects)
hf skills add --claude --global

# or install for the current project only
hf skills add --claude

Tip

The Skill is generated from your locally installed CLI version, so it's always up to date.

This also works with other coding agents:

hf skills add --codex
hf skills add --cursor
hf skills add --opencode

Alternatively, you can install via the Claude Code plugin system:

claude
/plugin marketplace add huggingface/skills
/plugin install hf-cli@huggingface/skills
