About this plugin

The plugin lets an AI coding agent perform Hugging Face Hub operations through the hf command-line interface. It can install additional Hugging Face skills, discover agent resources, download models and datasets, upload files, manage repositories and run cloud compute jobs.

Reach for it when a project needs to work with Hugging Face resources or launch tasks on Hugging Face cloud compute. It installs no skills, commands, agents, hooks or MCP servers, and uses the Hugging Face CLI for its operations.
