What it does

Fal AI Image is an agent skill from chongdashu/vibejam-starter-pack. Use fal.ai for text-to-image and image-edit generation, model comparison, queue-based image workflows, and cost-aware experiment tracking with Nano Banana and GPT Image endpoints.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/model-presets.json`, `references/fal-image-models.md` and `references/fal-platform-notes.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Image generation. It works with fal and Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: Free Vibe Jam starter pack — battle-tested ThreeJS and Phaser agent skills, starter projects, and prompts.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Image generation

Example prompts

  • “/fal-ai-image”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in FAL_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Queue-first for tracked experiments: image calls can be synchronous, but queue mode gives request IDs, polling, and consistent logging.
  2. Reference discipline matters: editing runs should pass only the images the model actually needs; too many references dilute control.
  3. Prompt parity beats fake parity: keep the task stable, then document the real model-specific compromises.
  4. Tracking is part of the run: a generation is not complete until prompt, request metadata, outputs, and cost signals are recorded.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6793771. 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

    Ships 4 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • uv

    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:

    • queue.fal.run

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

  • Credentials

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

    • FAL_KEY

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

Context cost

Fal AI Image loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 48 tokens; SKILL.md has 924 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~48
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.9k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.5k

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 924 words (~1,903 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants to generate or edit images through fal.ai, compare multiple marketplace image models, or build repeatable experiment workflows with prompts, references, outputs, and costs tracked in a consistent way.”
