Model-family-specific prompt craft for fal.ai endpoints. Trigger when the user mentions a specific model family by name and asks how to prompt it ("how do I prompt Kling", "GPT Image 2 prompt structure", "Happy Horse tips"), or when prompts to a routed endpoint keep coming back generic and the family's known nuances should be applied. For endpoint selection ("which model for X"), use `fal-models-catalog` instead. This skill is about how to talk to a model once it has been chosen.

What this skill does


# fal.ai Prompting

> **Runtime:** All endpoint calls run via the [genmedia CLI](https://github.com/fal-ai-community/genmedia-cli). See the `genmedia` skill for command syntax; run `genmedia init` once if not yet installed.

Model families have meaningful prompting nuances. A prompt that works on GPT Image 2 (long, structured, exact text in quotes) will fail on Happy Horse (which wants ~20 plain-English words). This skill collects family-specific guides.

## When to load which reference

| Reference | Load when |
|-----------|-----------|
| [kling.md](references/kling.md) | Working with Kling video models (O3, v3), multi-prompt, element controls, Standard vs Pro tier |
| [gpt-image-2.md](references/gpt-image-2.md) | Working with `openai/gpt-image-2` or `/edit`, structured prompts, EXACT TEXT, multi-image compositing |
| [happy-horse.md](references/happy-horse.md) | Working with `alibaba/happy-horse/text-to-video` or `image-to-video`, brevity-first, camera language |

## Universal principles (all families)

1. **Visual facts beat prestige adjectives.** Replace "stunning, cinematic, masterpiece" with "overcast daylight, brushed aluminum, 50mm feel."
2. **Style tags need visual targets.** "Minimalist brutalist" → "cream background, heavy black sans serif, asymmetrical type block, generous negative space."
3. **One controlled variable per iteration.** Comparison only works when one axis changes at a time.
4. **Inspect schema before assuming a control exists.** `genmedia schema <endpoint_id> --json`. Negative prompt, seed, multi-prompt, and reference-image fields differ across families.
5. **Per-family rules override universal advice.** Happy Horse rejects what GPT Image 2 rewards.

## Catalog cross-reference

For "which model do I use" questions, see `fal-models-catalog`:

- Text-to-image endpoint selection → [fal-models-catalog/references/text-to-image.md](../fal-models-catalog/references/text-to-image.md)
- Text-to-video endpoint selection → [fal-models-catalog/references/text-to-video.md](../fal-models-catalog/references/text-to-video.md)
- Image-to-video endpoint selection → [fal-models-catalog/references/image-to-video.md](../fal-models-catalog/references/image-to-video.md)

accelint-react-best-practices

Included

React performance optimization and best practices. ALWAYS use this skill when working with any React code - writing components, hooks, JSX; refactoring; optimizing re-renders, memoization, state management; reviewing for performance; fixing hydration mismatches; debugging infinite re-renders, stale closures, input focus loss, animations restarting; preventing remounting; implementing transitions, lazy initialization, effect dependencies. Even simple React tasks benefit from these patterns. Covers React 19+ (useEffectEvent, Activity, ref props). Triggers - useEffect, useState, useMemo, useCallback, memo, inline components, nested components, components inside components, re-render, performance, hydration, SSR, Next.js, useDeferredValue, combined hooks.

humanizer

Included

Humanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.

generating-mermaid-diagrams

Included

Salesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
