ECC: Skill for Codex

.agents/skills/fal-ai-media/SKILL.md

fal-ai-media is a skill for Codex from affaan-m/ECC. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,846 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for generating images, videos, speech, music, and sound effects through fal.ai, an AI media-generation service connected through an MCP server.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when creating images, making videos from text or images, generating speech or other audio, uploading source files, or checking generation status.
Why use it?
It gives an agent instructions for finding models, supplying inputs, checking jobs, estimating costs, and cancelling running generations.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present. Also seen: reads .claude/ paths; installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is affaan-m/ECC's own configuration. It tells Codex how to work on ECC itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ECC configures →

About the project

ECC is a toolkit that organizes and improves how coding agents work through skills, memory, security checks, research practices, and related extensions. It is for developers using agents such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor.

    Skill establishes unauthorized persistence across sessions via cron jobs, startup scripts, or state files. Session persistence allows an attacker to maintain access beyond the current interaction.
    Fix: Remove any persistence mechanisms (cron jobs, startup scripts, state files). Skills should not maintain state across sessions without explicit user consent.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

fal-ai-media scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Generate images, videos, and audio using fal.ai models via MCP.

When to Activate

  • User wants to generate images from text prompts
  • Creating videos from text or images
  • Generating speech, music, or sound effects
  • Any media generation task
  • User says "generate image", "create video", "text to speech", "make a thumbnail", or similar

MCP Requirement

fal.ai MCP server must be configured. Add to ~/.claude.json:

"fal-ai": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "fal-ai-mcp-server"],
  "env": { "FAL_KEY": "YOUR_FAL_KEY_HERE" }
}

Get an API key at fal.ai.

The fal.ai MCP provides these tools:

  • search — Find available models by keyword
  • find — Get model details and parameters
  • generate — Run a model with parameters

num_images number 1-4 How many to generate
seed number any integer Reproducibility
guidance_scale number 1-20 How closely to follow the prompt (higher = more literal)

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
