Instructions for running GGUF language models locally with llama.cpp, a program for AI inference on your own computer.

It is for finding GGUF models on Hugging Face, selecting a model quantization for available memory, and building llama-server or llama-cli commands.

It helps you choose compatible model files and settings for your CPU, Apple Silicon, or graphics hardware.

llama-cpp — Skill for Claude Code and Codex by kevinnft

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.

Any agent

npx skills add kevinnft/ai-agent-skills --skill llama-cpp

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/kevinnft/ai-agent-skills

Made for: Claude Code, Codex.

Token cost

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	$0.00018	$0.02543
Opus 5	$0.00009	$0.01272
Sonnet 5	$0.00004	$0.00509
Haiku 4.5	$0.00002	$0.00254

Security

Grade A, and why

llama-cpp scanned grade A with 1 finding 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.

llama.cpp + GGUF

Use this skill for local GGUF inference, quant selection, or Hugging Face repo discovery for llama.cpp.

When to use

Run local models on CPU, Apple Silicon, CUDA, ROCm, or Intel GPUs
Find the right GGUF for a specific Hugging Face repo
Build a llama-server or llama-cli command from the Hub
Search the Hub for models that already support llama.cpp
Enumerate available .gguf files and sizes for a repo
Decide between Q4/Q5/Q6/IQ variants for the user's RAM or VRAM

Model Discovery workflow

Prefer URL workflows before asking for hf, Python, or custom scripts.

Search for candidate repos on the Hub:
- Base: https://huggingface.co/models?apps=llama.cpp&sort=trending
- Add search=<term> for a model family
- Add num_parameters=min:0,max:24B or similar when the user has size constraints
Open the repo with the llama.cpp local-app view:
- https://huggingface.co/<repo>?local-app=llama.cpp
Treat the local-app snippet as the source of truth when it is visible:
- copy the exact llama-server or llama-cli command
- report the recommended quant exactly as HF shows it
Read the same ?local-app=llama.cpp URL as page text or HTML and extract the section under Hardware compatibility:
- prefer its exact quant labels and sizes over generic tables
- keep repo-specific labels such as UD-Q4_K_M or IQ4_NL_XL
- if that section is not visible in the fetched page source, say so and fall back to the tree API plus generic quant guidance
Query the tree API to confirm what actually exists:
- https://huggingface.co/api/models/<repo>/tree/main?recursive=true
- keep entries where type is file and path ends with .gguf
- use path and size as the source of truth for filenames and byte sizes
- separate quantized checkpoints from mmproj-*.gguf projector files and BF16/ shard files
- use https://huggingface.co/<repo>/tree/main only as a human fallback
If the local-app snippet is not text-visible, reconstruct the command from the repo plus the chosen quant:
- shorthand quant selection: llama-server -hf <repo>:<QUANT>
- exact-file fallback: llama-server --hf-repo <repo> --hf-file <filename.gguf>
Only suggest conversion from Transformers weights if the repo does not already expose GGUF files.

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.

llama-cpp is a skill published in the GitHub repository kevinnft/ai-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 2,543 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). It is 95% identical to llama-cpp, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
