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.

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00048 | $0.01835 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00024 | $0.00918 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00010 | $0.00367 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00184 |
Grade A, and why
hugging-face-cli 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 8d ago.
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.
This is a copy
91% identical to hugging-face-cli — 382 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

Hugging Face CLI
The hf CLI provides direct terminal access to the Hugging Face Hub for downloading, uploading, and managing repositories, cache, and compute resources.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when:
- User needs to download models, datasets, or spaces
- Uploading files to Hub repositories
- Creating Hugging Face repositories
- Managing local cache
- Running compute jobs on HF infrastructure
- Working with Hugging Face Hub authentication

What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md 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.
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.

hugging-face-cli is a skill published in the GitHub repository bcastelino/agent-skills-kit (2 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 48 tokens to every session and 1,835 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 91% identical to hugging-face-cli, differing in 382 lines, and is treated as a copy.
