What it does

Model Routing is an agent skill from fal-ai-community/skills. Choose default fal.ai endpoint IDs for genmedia production skills. Use this with commercial, marketing, ugc, character-design, cinematography, storytelling, and workflow when the user has not named a specific model.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Model routing and gateways, Influencer and creator marketing and Storytelling. It works with fal, Google Gemini and OpenAI.

When your agent uses it

  • Has not named a specific model
  • Tasks that involve Model routing and gateways
  • Tasks that involve Influencer and creator marketing

Example prompts

  • “/model-routing”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Pick the endpoint ID from this skill.
  2. Verify it with genmedia models --endpoint_id --json.
  3. Inspect it with genmedia schema --json.
  4. Check genmedia pricing --json when cost matters.
  5. Use text search only if the routed endpoint is missing, deprecated,

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

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Model Routing loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 602 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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 602 words (~1,460 tokens).

“Use these endpoint defaults when a domain skill needs a model. These choices come from project-specific guidance. Still run genmedia schema --json before execution and genmedia pricing --json when cost matters.”
