## What it 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`.
