Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Professional AI-powered image workflows using fal.ai's state-of-the-art models including FLUX, Recraft V3, Imagen4, and more.
Generate images from scratch using text prompts
Transform existing images while preserving composition
Targeted inpainting and masked editing
Trigger when user: Requests image generation from text descriptions Wants to transform/remix existing images with AI Needs to edit specific regions of images (inpainting) Wants to create images with specific styles (vector, realistic, typography) Needs high-resolution professional images (up to 2K) Wants to use a reference image for style transfer Mentions specific models like FLUX, Recraft, or Imagen Asks for logo, poster, or brand-style image generation Needs object removal or targeted modifications

Model Selection: Let scripts auto-select unless you have specific needs Prompt Engineering: Be specific and descriptive for better outputs Cost Awareness: Monitor usage on fal.ai dashboard Reproducibility: Use --seed for consistent results during iteration
Reference Images: Use high-quality references for best style transfer results Size Selection: Match aspect ratio to intended use (square, landscape, portrait) Model Choice: Use recraft/v3 for typography, flux-pro for professional photography
Strength Tuning: Start with default (0.75), adjust based on desired transformation Source Quality: Higher quality source images produce better remixes Iteration: Use --seed to iterate on same generation with different prompts Balance: Lower strength preserves more detail, higher creates more dramatic changes
Mask Quality: Clean, well-defined masks produce better results Mask Creation: Use image editors for precise control, --mask-prompt for quick tests Blending: Use gray tones in masks for smooth transitions Edit Strength: Use 0.95+ for object removal, 0.7-0.9 for modifications Test First: Try --mask-prompt before creating detailed masks Multiple Edits: Edit in stages rather than all at once for complex modifications

Image reference features limited to specific models Typography quality varies by model
Source image quality affects output quality Extreme strength values may introduce artifacts Some styles work better with specific models
Mask quality critical for seamless results Auto-generated masks (--mask-prompt) less precise than manual masks Complex edits may require multiple passes Some models don't support all editing features
