Is the Hugging Face Inference SDK skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from agents-inc/skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Hugging Face Inference SDK SkillProof Score?

7.6/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 6/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Hugging Face Inference SDK?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Hugging Face Inference SDK with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 7.6/10
Tested: Jul 28, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

⚠ This skill is no longer available upstream. Our re-check on Aug 10, 2026 couldn't find it any more (repo unreachable/deleted). The test below is what we measured on Jul 28, 2026 and we're leaving it up as a record — but there is nothing left to install, so we've removed the command.

We wrote the same streaming-chat plus embeddings module twice and replayed a realistic Hugging Face stream through both: the no-skill version crashed with a TypeError on a keepalive chunk with an empty choices array, while the version following the skill's null-checked loop returned the correct text. The cost is that its snippets have drifted from the shipped SDK — type-checked against @huggingface/inference v4.13.23, the documented error handler (error.request) fails to compile because the real fields are httpRequest/httpResponse, the audio example passes a readFileSync Buffer where the types demand a Blob or ArrayBuffer, and textToImage resolves to string, not the Blob the docs promise. Install is clean and all three referenced files (examples/core.md, examples/tasks.md, reference.md) really exist.

What Hugging Face Inference SDK does

A pattern reference for the @huggingface/inference TypeScript SDK covering InferenceClient setup, chat completion and streaming, embeddings, image generation, audio transcription and typed error handling. Triggers when you write Node or TypeScript code against Hugging Face models, inference providers or dedicated Inference Endpoints. Ships two example files and a method-signature reference alongside the main body.

How to install Hugging Face Inference SDK

Nothing to install: the source repository no longer has this skill. If the author brings it back, our daily re-check will pick it up and the command will reappear here.
