fal-upscale — Claude Code skill: upscale photos and video
A skill that points your agent at fal.ai super-resolution models to upscale and sharpen images and videos. Useful when a frame needs to be bigger.
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a claude-codeWhat fal-upscale does
The skill teaches the agent to recognize upscale requests — triggers like “fal upscale” or “4k upscale” — and call fal-upscale by name. What it does is enlarge image and video resolution through AI super-resolution models hosted on fal.ai.
The catalogue entry is part of nexu-io/open-design. The actual processing lives upstream in fal-ai-community/skills: install that bundle into your agent's skills directory to get the original assets and scripts. Without it you only have the catalogue entry. Access to fal.ai is on you, because the models run there.
Install with npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a <agent>; the skill file lands in the platform's own path — ~/.claude/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md for Claude, .cursor/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md for Cursor. GitHub Copilot takes a different route through gh skill install.
What it helps with
- blow up a low-res image for print
- raise video resolution before publishing
- recover detail from a small screenshot
- run a frame through a fal.ai super-resolution model
Example prompts for the agent
- Upscale
