| # Hugging Face CLI for AI Agents | |
| The `hf` CLI is a great way to connect your agents to the Hugging Face Hub and ecosystem. Search models, manage datasets and buckets, launch Spaces, and run jobs from any coding agent. | |
| > [!TIP] | |
| > This is a quick guide on agents that use the CLI. For more detailed information, see the [CLI Reference itself](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/cli). | |
| ## Install the CLI | |
| Make sure the `hf` CLI is installed and up to date. See the [CLI installation guide](https://huggingface.co/docs/huggingface_hub/guides/cli#getting-started) for setup instructions. | |
| The recommended standalone installer also installs the CLI Skill globally, including the Claude Code location, so agents pick it up with no extra step. Pass `--exclude-skill` (or `-ExcludeSkill` on Windows) to skip it. | |
| ## Add the CLI Skill | |
| Skills give your agent the context it needs to use tools effectively. The standalone installer adds the CLI Skill for you — install it by hand if you used pip or Homebrew, skipped it, or want it in a single project. Learn more about Skills at [agentskills.io](https://agentskills.io). | |
| ```bash | |
| # install globally (available in all projects, works with Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, | |
| # and any agent that loads skills from ~/.agents/skills) | |
| hf skills add --global | |
| # for Claude Code use the --claude flag | |
| hf skills add --claude --global | |
| # or install for the current project only (works with Codex, Cursor, OpenCode, | |
| # and any agent that loads skills from .agents/skills) | |
| hf skills add | |
| # for Claude Code, use the --claude flag | |
| hf skills add --claude | |
| ``` | |
| > [!TIP] | |
| > The Skill is generated from your locally installed CLI version, so it goes stale when you upgrade. `hf update` refreshes a globally installed Skill — never re-adding one you removed — and `hf skills update -g` refreshes it on its own. `hf` reminds you once a day if the Skill is missing or outdated; silence that with `HF_HUB_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=1`. | |
| Alternatively, you can install via the Claude Code plugin system: | |
| ```bash | |
| claude | |
| /plugin marketplace add huggingface/skills | |
| /plugin install hf-cli@huggingface/skills | |
| ``` | |
