What it does

Fal Prompting is an agent skill from fal-ai-community/skills. Model-family-specific prompt craft for fal.ai endpoints. Trigger when the user mentions a specific model family by name and asks how to prompt it ("how do I prompt Kling", "GPT Image 2 prompt structure", "Happy Horse tips"), or when prompts to a routed endpoint keep coming back generic and the family's known nuances should be applied. For endpoint selection ("which model for X"), use fal-models-catalog instead. This skill is about how to talk to a model once it has been chosen.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/gpt-image-2.md`, `references/happy-horse.md` and `references/kling.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation and Image generation. It works with fal.

When your agent uses it

  • The user mentions a specific model family by name and asks how to prompt it (how do I prompt Kling
  • GPT Image 2 prompt structure
  • Happy Horse tips)
  • Prompts to a routed endpoint keep coming back generic and the familys known nuances should be applied

Example prompts

  • “how do I prompt Kling”
  • “GPT Image 2 prompt structure”
  • “Happy Horse tips”
  • “/fal-prompting”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Visual facts beat prestige adjectives. Replace "stunning, cinematic, masterpiece" with "overcast daylight, brushed aluminum, 50mm feel."
  2. Style tags need visual targets. "Minimalist brutalist" → "cream background, heavy black sans serif, asymmetrical type block, generous…
  3. One controlled variable per iteration. Comparison only works when one axis changes at a time.
  4. Inspect schema before assuming a control exists. genmedia schema --json. Negative prompt, seed, multi-prompt, and reference-image fields…
  5. Per-family rules override universal advice. Happy Horse rejects what GPT Image 2 rewards.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ca8504. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • github.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Fal Prompting loads about 688 tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 125 tokens; SKILL.md has 221 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~125
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~688
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.5k

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 221 words (~688 tokens).

“Model families have meaningful prompting nuances. A prompt that works on GPT Image 2 (long, structured, exact text in quotes) will fail on Happy Horse (which wants ~20 plain-English words). This skill collects family-specific guides.”
