Overview

> Official docs: https://fal.ai/docs

---

When to Use

Use this skill when you need to:

---

Prerequisites

---

> Important: When using $VAR in a command that pipes to another command, wrap the command containing $VAR in bash -c '...'. Due to a Claude Code bug, environment variables are silently cleared when pipes are used directly.

> ```bash

> bash -c 'curl -s "https://api.example.com" -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"'

> ```

Prompt Guidelines

For best results:

Be specific - Describe the subject clearly

Specify colors/mood - "blue and purple gradient", "warm tones", "dark and moody"
Keep it concise - Clear and focused descriptions work better
