v1.7.2

🛠️ CLI improvements

hf CLI skill now fully expands subcommand groups and inlines all flags and options, making the CLI self-describing and easier for agents to discover.

• Expand nested groups, inline flags & common options glossary in SKILL.md (#3941) by @hanouticelina
• include common options inline (#3955) by @hanouticelina

hf extension install now uses uv for Python extension installation when available making extension installation faster:
