What it does

Storytelling is an agent skill from fal-ai-community/skills. Build multi-shot narrative image, video, and audio workflows with genmedia. Use this for storyboards, shot lists, multi-prompt video, first-frame to last-frame pipelines, social stories, brand films, and sequence continuity.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/examples.md`, `references/shot-planning.md` and `references/workflows.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Storytelling and Comics and storyboards.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Storytelling
  • Tasks that involve Comics and storyboards

Example prompts

  • “/storytelling”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Start from routed endpoint IDs.
  2. Inspect schema before planning exact payloads.
  3. Upload references.
  4. Choose the sequence route.
  5. Run long jobs async and download every result with a unique template.
  6. Return a shot table with endpoint, request id, prompt summary, local path,

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 (its code samples are bash).

    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

Storytelling loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.1k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 501 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~59
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~3.1k

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 501 words (~1,415 tokens).

“Use this skill when the user wants a sequence, not a single asset. Load references as needed:”
