About this skill

Hugging Face Dataset Viewer is a skill in sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills (47k stars). Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, and copies of it appear in 1 other owners' repositories. Licence: Apache-2.0.

Workflow steps

6 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Optionally validate dataset availability with /is-valid.
  2. Resolve config + split with /splits.
  3. Preview with /first-rows.
  4. Paginate content with /rows using offset and length (max 100).
  5. Use /search for text matching and /filter for row predicates.
  6. Retrieve parquet links via /parquet and totals/metadata via /size and /statistics.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • hf
    • curl
    • npx

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • datasets-server.huggingface.co
    • huggingface.co

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • HF_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Hugging Face Dataset Viewer loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 14 tokens; SKILL.md has 461 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~14
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Safety

Auto-check passed

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.

Hugging Face Dataset Viewer

When to Use

Use this skill when you need hugging Face Dataset Viewer.

Use this skill to execute read-only Dataset Viewer API calls for dataset exploration and extraction.

Core workflow

  1. Optionally validate dataset availability with /is-valid.
  2. Resolve config + split with /splits.
  3. Preview with /first-rows.
  4. Paginate content with /rows using offset and length (max 100).
  5. Use /search for text matching and /filter for row predicates.
  6. Retrieve parquet links via /parquet and totals/metadata via /size and /statistics.

Defaults

  • Base URL: https://datasets-server.huggingface.co
  • Default API method: GET
  • Query params should be URL-encoded.
  • offset is 0-based.
  • length max is usually 100 for row-like endpoints.
  • Gated/private datasets require Authorization: Bearer <HF_TOKEN>.

Dataset Viewer

  • Validate dataset: /is-valid?dataset=<namespace/repo>
  • List subsets and splits: /splits?dataset=<namespace/repo>
  • Preview first rows: /first-rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>
  • Paginate rows: /rows?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&offset=<int>&length=<int>
  • Search text: /search?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&query=<text>&offset=<int>&length=<int>
  • Filter with predicates: /filter?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>&where=<predicate>&orderby=<sort>&offset=<int>&length=<int>
  • List parquet shards: /parquet?dataset=<namespace/repo>
  • Get size totals: /size?dataset=<namespace/repo>
  • Get column statistics: /statistics?dataset=<namespace/repo>&config=<config>&split=<split>
  • Get Croissant metadata (if available): /croissant?dataset=<namespace/repo>

Pagination pattern:

bash
curl "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows?dataset=stanfordnlp/imdb&config=plain_text&split=train&offset=0&length=100"
curl "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/rows?dataset=stanfordnlp/imdb&config=plain_text&split=train&offset=100&length=100"

When pagination is partial, use response fields such as num_rows_total, num_rows_per_page, and partial to drive continuation logic.

Search/filter notes:

  • /search matches string columns (full-text style behavior is internal to the API).
  • /filter requires predicate syntax in where and optional sort in orderby.
  • Keep filtering and searches read-only and side-effect free.

For CLI-based parquet URL discovery or SQL, use the hf-cli skill with hf datasets parquet and hf datasets sql.

Creating and Uploading Datasets

Use one of these flows depending on dependency constraints.

Zero local dependencies (Hub UI):

  • Create dataset repo in browser: https://huggingface.co/new-dataset
  • Upload parquet files in the repo "Files and versions" page.
  • Verify shards appear in Dataset Viewer:
bash
curl -s "https://datasets-server.huggingface.co/parquet?dataset=<namespace>/<repo>"

Low dependency CLI flow (npx @huggingface/hub / hfjs):

  • Set auth token:
bash
export HF_TOKEN=<your_hf_token>
  • Upload parquet folder to a dataset repo (auto-creates repo if missing):
bash
npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data
  • Upload as private repo on creation:
bash
npx -y @huggingface/hub upload datasets/<namespace>/<repo> ./local/parquet-folder data --private

After upload, call /parquet to discover <config>/<split>/<shard> values for querying with @~parquet.

Agent Traces

The Hub supports raw agent session traces from Claude Code, Codex, and Pi Agent. Upload them to Hugging Face Datasets as original JSONL files and the Hub can auto-detect the trace format, tag the dataset as Traces, and enable the trace viewer for browsing sessions, turns, tool calls, and model responses. Common local session directories:

  • Claude Code: ~/.claude/projects
  • Codex: ~/.codex/sessions
  • Pi: ~/.pi/agent/sessions

Default to private dataset repos because traces can contain prompts, file paths, tool outputs, secrets, or PII. Preserve the raw .jsonl files and nest them by project/cwd instead of uploading every session at the dataset root.

bash
hf repos create <namespace>/<repo> --type dataset --private --exist-ok
hf upload <namespace>/<repo> ~/.codex/sessions codex/<project-or-cwd> --type dataset

Limitations

  • Use this skill only when the task clearly matches its upstream product or API scope.
  • Verify commands, API behavior, pricing, quotas, credentials, and deployment effects against current official documentation before making changes.
  • Do not treat generated examples as a substitute for environment-specific tests, security review, or user approval for destructive or costly actions.
