Use this skill for Hugging Face Dataset Viewer API workflows that fetch subset/split metadata, paginate rows, search text, apply filters, download parquet URLs, and read size or statistics.
npx skillsauth add huggingface/skills huggingface-datasetsInstall this skill globally with one command. Works with Claude Code, Cursor, and Windsurf.

Use this skill to execute read-only Dataset Viewer API calls for dataset exploration and extraction.

curl "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows?dataset=stanfordnlp/imdb&config=plain_text&split=train&offset=100&length=100"
When pagination is partial, use response fields such as num_rows_total, num_rows_per_page, and partial to drive continuation logic.
Search/filter notes:
/search matches string columns (full-text style behavior is internal to the API)./filter requires predicate syntax in where and optional sort in orderby.For CLI-based parquet URL discovery or SQL, use the hf-cli skill with hf datasets parquet and hf datasets sql.
Use one of these flows depending on dependency constraints.
Zero local dependencies (Hub UI):
https://huggingface.co/new-datasetcurl -s "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/parquet?dataset=<namespace>/<repo>"
Low dependency CLI flow (npx @huggingface/hub / hfjs):
export HF_TOKEN=<your_hf_token>
npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data
npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data --private
After upload, call /parquet to discover <config>/<split>/<shard> values for querying with @~parquet.
The Hub supports raw agent session traces from Claude Code, Codex, and Pi Agent. Upload them to Hugging Face Datasets as original JSONL files and the Hub can auto-detect the trace format, tag the dataset as Traces, and enable the trace viewer for browsing sessions, turns, tool calls, and model responses. Common local session directories:
~/.claude/projects~/.codex/sessions~/.pi/agent/sessionsDefault to private dataset repos because traces can contain prompts, file paths, tool outputs, secrets, or PII. Preserve the raw .jsonl files and nest them by project/cwd instead of uploading every session at the dataset root.
hf repos create <namespace>/<repo> --type dataset --private --exist-ok
hf upload <namespace>/<repo> ~/.codex/sessions codex/<project-or-cwd> --type dataset
development
Train or fine-tune sentence-transformers models across `SentenceTransformer` (bi-encoder, dense or static embedding model for retrieval, similarity, clustering, classification, paraphrase mining, dedup, multimodal), `CrossEncoder` (reranker, pair scoring for two-stage retrieval / pair classification), `SparseEncoder` (SPLADE, sparse embedding model for learned-sparse retrieval), and `MultiVectorEncoder` (ColBERT / late-interaction, per-token embeddings scored with MaxSim). Covers loss selection, hard-negative mining, evaluators, distillation, LoRA, Matryoshka, and Hugging Face Hub publishing. Use for any sentence-transformers training task.
devops
Plan and coordinate the deployment of a model to Amazon SageMaker AI. Use this skill whenever the user wants to deploy, host, serve, or expose a model on SageMaker or AWS — including phrases like "deploy a model", "host this LLM on AWS", "serve this embedding model", "deploy a reranker", "deploy a text-to-image / diffusion model", "host this for async inference", "create an endpoint", "serve my fine-tuned model", or any request that involves making a model available for inference on AWS. Use this even when the user is vague (e.g. "I just want to get this running on AWS, you figure it out"). Works for text-generation LLMs, embedding models, rerankers, classifiers, text-to-image / diffusion models — picks the right serving stack and chooses between real-time and async inference. This is the entry-point skill for SageMaker deployment work — it asks clarifying questions, picks a deployment pathway, and coordinates the other deployment skills.
tools
Train and fine-tune transformer language models using TRL (Transformers Reinforcement Learning). Supports SFT, DPO, GRPO, KTO, RLOO and Reward Model training via CLI commands.
development
Build, deploy, and maintain applications on Hugging Face Spaces — Gradio / Docker / Static SDKs, ZeroGPU and dedicated hardware, model loading, debugging, buckets, inference providers, community grants. Use whenever the user asks to create or host an app on Hugging Face, port code onto ZeroGPU, fix a Space that won't build or run, or otherwise work with `hf spaces …`, `@spaces.GPU`, Space README frontmatter, or the `spaces` Python package.
