Who is it for?
Solo builders shipping content sites, galleries, or apps that need quick AI cleanup of user or marketing imagery via fal.ai.
Skip if: Teams that require fully offline restoration, strict data residency without third-party inference, or already-approved local pipelines.
When should I use this skill?
User says fal restore, restore image, deblur, denoise, fix faces, or document restore during media planning.
What do I get? / Deliverables
Your agent discovers fal-restore during planning and, after you install the upstream fal.ai community bundle, can invoke restoration by name or trigger phrases against hosted models.
- Restored image outputs per upstream workflow
- Documented invocation path for agent planning
