What is huggingface-skills?

An integration that provides access to Hugging Face Skills, a set of tools and instructions for working with Hugging Face's machine-learning platform.

Use it when you need access to Hugging Face Skills through the coding agent.

The description does not specify which skills or tasks are available, so its exact benefits are unclear.

huggingface-skills — Plugin for Gemini CLI by huggingface/skills

About the project

Hugging Face Skills is a collection of packaged instructions, scripts, and resources that teach AI agents how to perform tasks in the Hugging Face ecosystem, such as managing models and datasets, training models, and running evaluations. It is for coding agents that need to use Hugging Face Hub and machine-learning workflows. The catalogue entries are the project's own skills and integrations for agent clients.

Install

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Security

Grade A, and why

huggingface-skills scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

The scan reads gemini-extension.json. This mod also ships 8 executable files (scripts/build_skill_distribution.py, scripts/build_skills_index.py, scripts/generate_agents.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

12 files beside gemini-extension.json in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
