fal-recipes — Claude Code skill: content pipelines on fal.ai
Ready-made multi-step pipelines for producing commercials, cinematic shots, photoreal portraits, lip-sync videos, and image restoration through fal.ai.
npx skills add fal-ai-community/skills --skill fal-recipes -a claude-codeWhat fal-recipes does
The skill gives the agent nine content production scenarios: cinematography (lighting, color grading, shot language), character design with consistent identity, commercial photography and product banners, multi-shot brand stories, talking heads with lip sync, old photo restoration (deblur, denoise, face correction), virtual garment try-on, video audio overlay, and photoreal stills in documentary or archival style. Each recipe describes inputs, the call sequence through genmedia, prompt construction order, and quality criteria before returning results.
Runs through the genmedia CLI — first use requires genmedia init. Recipes differ from fal-workflow: workflow describes how to assemble a pipeline; recipes describe how to produce a specific kind of content (a commercial, a realistic portrait, a restored photo). When a request does not match any recipe, the agent builds the chain manually via fal-workflow or calls a single endpoint from fal-models-catalog.
What it helps with
- Shoot a commercial with a product in frame
- Create a multi-shot sequence with one consistent character
- Restore an old photograph and fix face blur
- Generate a talking head with lip sync
- Produce a photoreal portrait without AI tell signs
Example prompts for the agent
- Shoot a commercial for this product in documentary cinema style
- Create a character and show them in three different scenes
- Restore this old photo and remove the face blur
