hqq-quantizationHalf-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data.
Hqq Quantization is an agent skill from Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs. Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data. Use when quantizing models to 4/3/2-bit precision without needing calibration datasets, for fast quantization workflows, or when deploying with vLLM or HuggingFace Transformers.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/advanced-usage.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).
It sits in AI & LLM Engineering, covering LLM inference and serving and Fine-tuning. It works with vLLM, Transformers, Hugging Face and PyTorch. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive open-source library of AI research and engineering skills for any AI model. Package the skills and your claude code/codex/gemini agent will be an AI research agent… The licence is MIT.
6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 773a529. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pipFrom the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comhuggingface.coFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Hqq Quantization loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 64 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data. Hqq Quantization is an agent skill from Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs. Half-Quadratic Quantization for LLMs without calibration data.
Hqq Quantization fits situations like: quantizing models to 4/3/2-bit precision without needing calibration datasets; for fast quantization workflows; deploying with vLLM; huggingFace Transformers.
Run `npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill hqq-quantization -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (10-optimization/hqq in Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs) into .claude/skills/hqq-quantization in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill hqq-quantization -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (10-optimization/hqq in Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs) into .agents/skills/hqq-quantization in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add Orchestra-Research/AI-Research-SKILLs --skill hqq-quantization -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/hqq-quantization, .gemini/skills/hqq-quantization, .github/skills/hqq-quantization and .opencode/skills/hqq-quantization in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Hqq Quantization needs the command-line tools its instructions call (pip). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md names 2 domains. As links in the text: github.com and huggingface.co. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. Review the folder before installing.
Hqq Quantization is published under the MIT licence (declared in SKILL.md). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 2.9k tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 11k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full. Its references folder adds about 6.3k tokens, read only when the agent opens those files.
Skills that share tags, products or a category with Hqq Quantization: Hugging Face Local Model Evals (huggingface/skills, 11k stars), Spark Environment Setup (wshobson/agents, 40k stars), Open Weights (ericrisco/rsc-harness, 167 stars) and ML Experiment Iteration (Leeroo-AI/superml, 195 stars). The comparison table on this page puts their stars, adoption, token cost, safety result and licence side by side.
