## What it 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`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/fal-upscale/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install nexu-io/open-design fal-upscale
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design --path skills/fal-upscale
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill fal-upscale -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/nexu-io/open-design/tree/HEAD/skills/fal-upscale/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- Upscale `cover.png` to 4k with fal-upscale
- Boost the resolution of `clip.mp4` using fal-upscale
- Run this screenshot through super resolution

# fal-upscale

> Curated from the fal.ai community team.

## What it does

Upscale and enhance image and video resolution using AI super-resolution models hosted on fal.ai.

## Source

- Upstream: https://github.com/fal-ai-community/skills
- Category: `image-generation`

## How to use

This catalogue entry advertises the skill in OpenDesign so the agent
discovers it during planning. To run the full upstream workflow with
its original assets, scripts, and references, install the upstream
bundle into your active agent's skills directory:

```bash
# Inspect the upstream README for exact paths
open https://github.com/fal-ai-community/skills
```

Then ask the agent to invoke this skill by name (`fal-upscale`) or with
one of the trigger phrases listed in this skill's frontmatter.
