fal-models-catalog

Choose the right fal.ai endpoint for a given task. Modality-organized catalog of production endpoint defaults, text-to-image, image-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, and more. Use when the user has not named a specific model, or asks "which model for X", "best endpoint for Y", "what should I use for Z".

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
10 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by fal-ai-community on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Fal Models Catalog AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/fal-ai-community/skills/tree/main/skills/fal-models-catalog
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/fal-ai-community/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/fal-models-catalog .claude/skills/fal-models-catalog

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Fal Models Catalog in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Fal Models Catalog on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Fal Models Catalog is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

fal.ai Models Catalog

Endpoint-first navigation for fal.ai production work. Each modality reference lists curated picks organized by use case (premium realism / fast & cheap / 4K / specialized). Before reaching for free-text search, consult the modality reference that matches the task.

Runtime: All endpoint calls run via the genmedia CLI. See the genmedia skill for command syntax; run genmedia init once if not yet installed.

Endpoint-first rule

Pick the endpoint ID from the right modality reference.
Verify it: genmedia models --endpoint_id <endpoint_id> --json.
Inspect it: genmedia schema <endpoint_id> --json.
Check cost when relevant: genmedia pricing <endpoint_id> --json.
Use text search only if the routed endpoint is missing, deprecated, rejected, or the role is not covered here:

bash
genmedia models "<task description>" --json
genmedia docs "<topic>" --json

Do not invent endpoint IDs.

Modality references

Load the reference matching the user's task:

text-to-image.md, image generation from prompt (text-heavy, premium still, fast draft)
image-to-image.md, image editing, inpainting, background removal, upscaling
text-to-video.md, video generation from prompt (highest quality, fast/economical, multi-shot storytelling)
image-to-video.md, video from a reference frame (including audio-driven and lip-sync variants)
video-to-video.md, video edit, restyle, upscale, background removal
text-to-3d.md, 3D model generation from text
image-to-3d.md, 3D model generation from reference images
text-to-audio.md. TTS, music, SFX generation
audio-to-text.md, speech-to-text (Whisper, ElevenLabs Scribe with diarization)
image-to-text.md. OCR, captioning, VQA, detection, segmentation

Utility endpoints

Workflow utility endpoint IDs (resize, composite, mask, audio merge, subtitle, etc.) live in the fal-workflow skill: fal-workflow/references/utility-endpoints.md.

Utility endpoints are explicit because they are deterministic tools, not creative model choices. Always inspect schema before use.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Fal Models Catalog AI skill do?

Why use Fal Models Catalog on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Fal Models Catalog is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Fal Models Catalog in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/fal-ai-community/skills/tree/main/skills/fal-models-catalog. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Fal Models Catalog?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Fal Models Catalog?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Fal Models Catalog with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Fal Models Catalog AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by fal-ai-community. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
