What it does

Fal AI is an agent skill from hoodini/ai-agents-skills. Generate images, videos, and audio with fal.ai serverless AI. Use when building AI image generation, video generation, image editing, or real-time AI features. Triggers on fal.ai, fal, AI image generation, Flux, SDXL, real-time AI, serverless AI.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k 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 Image generation, AI video generation and Serverless. It works with fal and Stable Diffusion. The repository describes itself as: 🧠 AI Agent Skills Repository - A curated collection of specialized skills for AI coding agents (Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Windsurf). Created by Yuval Avidani using…

When your agent uses it

  • Building AI image generation
  • Video generation
  • Real-time AI features
  • AI image generation

Example prompts

  • “/fal-ai”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in FAL_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f7a43d8. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npm

    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):

    • fal.ai

    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 loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 63 tokens; SKILL.md has 120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~63
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k

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: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

  • NoteMentions a .env fileSKILL.md:39
    // Set FAL_KEY in .env

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 120 words (~2,121 tokens).
