System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Large Hugging Face downloads can time out, fail mid-transfer, or stall due to stale lock files; this skill provides an auto-retry wrapper that transparently resumes failed downloads and cleans up locks.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Auto-retry wrapper for hf download that handles timeouts, connection drops, and stale lock files.
  • Resumes interrupted transfers and uses token-based rate limiting when needed.
  • Works with a variety of Hugging Face models and can be invoked as a Claude skill or directly via the hf-download.sh script.
  • Supports extra hf download flags and environment variable configurations for token and transfer settings.

Quick Start

Run the hf-download.sh script with a repository ID and optional local directory and flags to start auto-retrying downloads of Hugging Face models.
