What it does

Fal Video is an agent skill from refly-ai/refly-skills. Generate AI videos using Fal.ai Seedance models. Use when you need to: (1) animate images into short videos, (2) create motion from still photos, or (3) generate high-quality video content from images.

Its SKILL.md is about 690 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `README.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation. It works with fal and Seedance. The repository describes itself as: Refly skills repository.

When your agent uses it

  • Animate images into short videos
  • Create motion from still photos
  • Generate high-quality video content from images

Example prompts

  • “/fal-video”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Upload Image File
  2. Run the Skill and Get Run ID
  3. Open Workflow in Browser and Wait for Completion
  4. Download and Show Result

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5a546d2. 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:

    • jq

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

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • refly.ai

    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 Video loads about 686 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 143 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~686

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 143 words (~686 tokens).

“Generate AI videos using Fal.ai Seedance models. Use when you need to: (1) animate images into short videos, (2) create motion from still photos, or (3) generate high-quality video content from images.”
