Hugging Face Spaces
When to Use
Use this skill when you need 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...
Hugging Face Spaces host machine-learning applications. There are 1M+ today; each Space is a git repo. This skill covers creating, building, debugging, and maintaining them.
0. Getting ready
Before anything else:
- Check the
hfCLI is installed:which hf. If not,pip install -U huggingface_hub. - Check the user is logged in:
hf auth whoami. If not, ask them to run! hf auth loginin this session — they'll need a write-scoped token from https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens. - Note
whoami'scanPayandisProflags — they gate hardware choices below.
The hf-cli skill teaches an agent every hf command and is the recommended companion to this one. Install it with hf skills add hf-cli (add --claude --global to install for Claude Code as well, user-level).
1. What a Space is
A Space is a git repo with three possible SDKs:
- Gradio — most Spaces. Python, fast iteration, supports ZeroGPU.
- Docker — arbitrary container. Use when you need a non-Python stack or a pre-built template (Stre
