What This Skill Does

Builds reusable command-line scripts that interact with the Hugging Face API to fetch, filter, and process models, datasets, spaces, and papers. Scripts support chaining and piping for multi-step workflows. Uses the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable for authenticated access.

Instead of hand-crafting curl commands each time, you get a tested script with `--help`, proper auth headers, and composable output you can pipe into jq or other tools.

When to use it

  • Fetching trending models and sorting them by download count in one pipeline
  • Extracting license and gating metadata from model cards across multiple repos
  • Searching for all models linked to a specific arXiv paper
  • Pulling dataset metadata in bulk and filtering by pipeline tag
  • Automating daily checks on new Hugging Face papers via the API
