# Overview ## When to Use Use this skill when you need run evaluations for Hugging Face Hub models using inspect-ai and lighteval on local hardware. Use for backend selection, local GPU evals, and choosing between vLLM / Transformers / accelerate. Not for HF Jobs orchestration, model-card PRs, .eval_results publication, or community-evals... This skill is for **running evaluations against models on the Hugging Face Hub on local hardware**. It covers: - `inspect-ai` with local inference - `lighteval` with local inference - choosing between `vllm`, Hugging Face Transformers, and `accelerate` - smoke tests, task selection, and backend fallback strategy It does **not** cover: - Hugging Face Jobs orchestration - model-card or `model-index` edits - README table extraction - Artificial Analysis imports - `.eval_results` generation or publishing - PR creation or community-evals automation If the user wants to **run the same eval remotely on Hugging Face Jobs**, hand off to the `hugging-face-jobs` skill and pass it one of the local scripts in this skill. If the user wants to **publish results into the community evals workflow**, stop after generating the evaluation run and hand off that pub

About this skill
What does the hugging-face-community-evals skill do?

Run evaluations for Hugging Face Hub models using inspect-ai and lighteval on local hardware. Use for backend selection, local GPU evals, and choosing between vLLM / Transformers / accelerate. Not for HF Jobs orchestration, model-card PRs, .eval_results publication, or community-evals...

How do I install it?

Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill hugging-face-community-evals --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.

Where does this skill come from?

From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.

Is a popular skill a good skill?

Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
