  • The user asks for a specific kind of content production rather than a single endpoint call: make a commercial

What it does

Fal Recipes is an agent skill from fal-ai-community/skills. Use-case-driven multi-step pipelines on fal.ai. Trigger when the user asks for a specific kind of content production rather than a single endpoint call: "make a commercial", "ad creative", "product photography", "cinematic shot", "film look", "character design", "consistent character", "anchor system", "storyboard", "multi-shot", "narrative video", "talking head", "lip sync", "make this person talk", "virtual try-on", "garment transfer", "restore image", "deblur", "denoise", "fix face", "old photo restore", "add…

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 11 other files, including reference files (for example `references/character-design.md`, `references/character-lipsync.md` and `references/cinematography.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Comics and storyboards, Paid advertising and Music and audio generation. It works with fal.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a specific kind of content production rather than a single endpoint call: make a commercial
  • Product photography
  • Character design
  • Consistent character

Example prompts

  • “make a commercial”
  • “ad creative”
  • “product photography”
  • “/fal-recipes”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Match the user's intent to a use case in the table above.
  2. If multiple recipes apply (e.g., "commercial featuring a consistent character"), load both and run the dominant one, usually the more…
  3. If no recipe matches but the task is multi-step, fall back to fal-workflow Mode B (CLI orchestration) and design the pipeline from scratch.
  4. If the task is a single endpoint call, skip recipes, go directly to the right fal-models-catalog reference.

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 Recipes loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~23k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 210 tokens; SKILL.md has 405 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~210
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~23k

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 405 words (~1,133 tokens).

“A recipe is a use-case-driven pipeline. It tells you the inputs to collect, the genmedia calls to chain, and the quality bar to verify before returning.”
