Hugging Face Skills

Hugging Face Skills are definitions for AI/ML tasks like dataset creation, model training, and evaluation. They are interoperable with all major coding agent tools like OpenAI Codex, Anthropic's Claude Code, Google DeepMind's Gemini CLI, and Cursor.

The Skills in this repository follow the standardized format Agent Skill format.

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.

[!NOTE] 'Skills' is actually an Anthropic term used within Claude AI and Claude Code and not adopted by other agent tools, but we love it! OpenAI Codex uses an AGENTS.md file to define the instructions for your coding agent. Google Gemini uses 'extensions' to define the instructions for your coding agent in a gemini-extension.json file. This repo is compatible with all of them, and more!

[!TIP] If your agent doesn't support skills, you can use agents/AGENTS.md directly as a fallback.

Installation

Hugging Face skills are compatible with Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini CLI. With integrations Cursor, Windsurf, and Continue, on the way.

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add huggingface/skills

To install a skill, run:

/plugin install <skill-name>@huggingface/skills

For example:

/plugin install hugging-face-cli@huggingface/skills

Codex

Codex will identify the skills via the AGENTS.md file. You can verify the instructions are loaded with:

codex --ask-for-approval never "Summarize the current instructions."

For more details, see the Codex AGENTS guide.

Gemini CLI

This repo includes gemini-extension.json to integrate with the Gemini CLI.
Install locally:

gemini extensions install . --consent

or use the GitHub URL:

gemini extensions install https://github.com/huggingface/skills.git --consent

See Gemini CLI extensions docs for more help.
