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.
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.

What it costs to keep this loaded
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 | $0.00194 | $0.07600 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00097 | $0.03800 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00039 | $0.01520 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00019 | $0.00760 |
Grade A, and why
huggingface-vision-trainer 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 9d 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.

Vision Model Training on Hugging Face Jobs
Train object detection, image classification, and SAM/SAM2 segmentation models on managed cloud GPUs. No local GPU setup required—results are automatically saved to the Hugging Face Hub.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when users want to:
- Fine-tune object detection models (D-FINE, RT-DETR v2, DETR, YOLOS) on cloud GPUs or local
- Fine-tune image classification models (timm: MobileNetV3, MobileViT, ResNet, ViT/DINOv3, or any Transformers classifier) on cloud GPUs or local
- Fine-tune SAM or SAM2 models for segmentation / image matting using bbox or point prompts
- Train bounding-box detectors on custom datasets
- Train image classifiers on custom datasets
- Train segmentation models on custom mask datasets with prompts
- Run vision training jobs on Hugging Face Jobs infrastructure
- Ensure trained vision models are permanently saved to the Hub
Related Skills
hugging-face-jobs— General HF Jobs infrastructure: token authentication, hardware flavors, timeout management, cost estimation, secrets, environment variables, scheduled jobs, and result persistence. Refer to the Jobs skill for any non-training-specific Jobs questions (e.g., "how do secrets work?", "what hardware is available?", "how do I pass tokens?").hugging-face-model-trainer— TRL-based language model training (SFT, DPO, GRPO). Use that skill for text/language model fine-tuning.
Local Script Execution
Helper scripts use PEP 723 inline dependencies. Run them with uv run:
uv run scripts/dataset_inspector.py --dataset username/dataset-name --split train
uv run scripts/estimate_cost.py --help
Prerequisites Checklist
Before starting any training job, verify:
Account & Authentication
- Hugging Face Account with Pro, Team, or Enterprise plan (Jobs require paid plan)
- Authenticated login: Check with
hf_whoami()(tool) orhf auth whoami(terminal) - Token has write permissions
- MUST pass token in job secrets — see directive #3 below for syntax (MCP tool vs Python API)

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.

huggingface-vision-trainer is a skill published in the GitHub repository huggingface/skills (11,024 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 194 tokens to every session and 7,600 once invoked, about $0.0010 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
