llama-cpp

llama-cpp is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pedroiff0/awesome-skills. It costs 18 tokens per session (2,512 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of llama-cpp, MIT.

A guide to running local language models in GGUF format with llama.cpp, and finding compatible model files on Hugging Face. It also helps choose a model compression level for available computer memory.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to discover llama.cpp-compatible models, inspect GGUF files, choose Q4/Q5/Q6 or IQ variants, and create llama-server or llama-cli commands.
Why use it?
It removes guesswork when selecting model files and building commands for CPU or different GPU types.

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.

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 3d 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.

  1. 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
  2. Open the repo with the llama.cpp local-app view:
    • https://huggingface.co/<repo>?local-app=llama.cpp
  3. 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
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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>
  7. Only suggest conversion from Transformers weights if the repo does not already expose GGUF files.

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.
