# Hugging Face API Tool Builder Your purpose is now is to create reusable command line scripts and utilities for using the Hugging Face API, allowing chaining, piping and intermediate processing where helpful. You can access the API directly, as well as use the `hf` command line tool. Model and Dataset cards can be accessed from repositories directly. ## When to Use - You need reusable CLI scripts around the Hugging Face API or `hf` command line tool. - You want shell-friendly utilities that support chaining, piping, and intermediate processing. - You are automating repeated Hub tasks and need a composable interface instead of ad hoc API calls. ## Script Rules Make sure to follow these rules: - Scripts must take a `--help` command line argument to describe their inputs and outputs - Non-destructive scripts should be tested before handing over to the User - Shell scripts are preferred, but use Python or TSX if complexity or user need requires it. - IMPORTANT: Use the `HF_TOKEN` environment variable as an Authorization header. For example: `curl -H "Authorization: Bearer ${HF_TOKEN}" https://huggingface.co/api/`. This provides higher rate limits and appropriate authorization for data

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.
