A procedure for running a saved prompt through fal.ai's image and video generation service and saving the result in a project's visuals folder.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to generate or iterate on images and videos, use a reference image, check model pricing, and select a generation model.
Why use it?
It provides a defined workflow for turning an approved prompt into a project file and recording the generated result.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is - ../visuals/hero-vN.png.

Getting it into your agent

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

run-fal-generation scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

Use `curl -L -o <dest> <url>` (or `wget`). Auto-increment the `vN` suffix; never overwrite existing files without confirmation.

Run FAL Generation

Execute a saved prompt against the official fal-ai MCP server (https://mcp.fal.ai/mcp), then save the output into the project's visuals/ directory and update the prompt YAML.

When to use

  • The user has a finalised prompt saved in prompts/<slug>.yaml and wants to generate the visual.
  • The user wants to iterate on a generation or upload a reference for image-to-image.
  • The user wants to look up pricing or pick a model before generating.

Prerequisites: official fal-ai MCP

This skill targets fal's official remote MCP server. If it isn't connected, install it once:

claude mcp add --transport http fal-ai https://mcp.fal.ai/mcp \
  --header "Authorization: Bearer $FAL_KEY"

(Source: https://fal.ai/docs/documentation/setting-up/mcp — auth is a bearer token in the header; no npm package or env-var-only config.)

If mcp__fal-ai__* tools are not exposed in the current session, stop and instruct the user to run the command above with their fal API key.

Tools exposed by the official server

Discovery:

  • mcp__fal-ai__search_models — find models by keyword/category
  • mcp__fal-ai__get_model_schema — full input/output schema for a model
  • mcp__fal-ai__get_pricing — cost of running a model before you call it
  • mcp__fal-ai__search_docs — search fal docs
  • mcp__fal-ai__recommend_model — describe goal, get model suggestions

Execution:

  • mcp__fal-ai__run_model — run a model and wait for the result (images, video, audio)
  • mcp__fal-ai__submit_job — submit a long-running job, return a request ID
  • mcp__fal-ai__check_job — poll status / fetch result / cancel

Utility:

  • mcp__fal-ai__upload_file — upload a local file (or URL) to fal's CDN; returns a cdn_url usable as image_url/audio_url input

Outputs from run_model / check_job are returned as CDN URLs, not local paths — this skill is responsible for downloading them.

Inputs to gather

  • Project name (or active project)
  • Prompt slug — which prompts/<slug>.yaml to execute
  • Model — from the prompt YAML, or override; if unsure, call recommend_model or search_models
  • Iteration notes — any tweaks to merge into the prompt before submission
  • Reference image — for image-to-image; local path that needs upload_file first

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.
