QuickStart

A Gradio Space that converts any Hugging Face URL or Repo ID into clean, copy-ready first-run artifacts:

  • Run snippet (best-effort)
  • Download recipes (Python + CLI)
  • Files view + lightweight risk hints (filename-based only)
  • Exportable zip with runnable scripts

What problem does it solve?

Hugging Face repos are consistent to browse, but starting them is not:

  • Different repo types (Model / Dataset / Space)
  • Different download flows (Python vs CLI)
  • Some repos are private/gated (token required)
  • Large repos need reproducible “download + run” recipes

QuickStart standardizes the first 5 minutes into a repeatable workflow.


Inputs

Accepted formats:

Repo ID

<owner>/<repo>

URLs

https://huggingface.co/<owner>/<repo>
https://huggingface.co/datasets/<owner>/<repo>
https://huggingface.co/spaces/<owner>/<repo>

Also works:

datasets/<owner>/<repo>
spaces/<owner>/<repo>

Outputs (Tabs)

1) QuickStart

  • Minimal Python snippet (best-effort)
  • Install command

2) Download

  • Python recipe using snapshot_download()
  • CLI recipe using huggingface-cli download

3) Files

  • Best-effort file list (limited)
  • Risk hints summary (filename-based)

4) Export

Creates a zip with a runnable, minimal scaffold:

  • run.py (best-effort entry script)
  • download.py (reproducible snapshot download)
  • requirements.txt
  • .env.example
  • README.md (how to run locally)

5) Badge

  • Markdown badge linking to the target repo

6) Details

  • Raw repo metadata (JSON)

Risk hints (non-audit)

Important: Risk hints are filename-based only:

  • ✅ Flags names like .env, token, api_key, credentials, private keys
  • ✅ Highlights common ML artifacts by extension (e.g., .safetensors, .bin, .onnx, .gguf)
  • ❌ Does not scan file contents
  • ❌ Not a security/compliance audit

Authentication (private / gated repos)

Set HF_TOKEN.

On Hugging Face Spaces

  • Settings → Secrets
  • Add: HF_TOKEN = your token

Locally Windows (PowerShell):

setx HF_TOKEN "YOUR_TOKEN"

Restart terminal.

macOS/Linux:

export HF_TOKEN="YOUR_TOKEN"

Run locally

git clone https://huggingface.co/spaces/tarekmasryo/QuickStart
cd QuickStart

python -m venv .venv
# Windows:
.venv\Scripts\activate
# macOS/Linux:
source .venv/bin/activate

pip install -U pip
pip install -r requirements.txt

python app.py

Known limitations (by design)

  • Snippets are best-effort and depend on available Hub metadata.
  • Files view is limited and may be incomplete for some repos.
  • No content scanning (only filename signals).
