BFL Skills

Official Black Forest Labs skills for FLUX image and video generation.

Installation • What's inside • FLUX 3 reference • Image reference • Documentation • License

Each skill teaches your coding agent how to prompt a FLUX model well and drive the BFL API correctly, following the agentskills.io specification.

Every clip in the reel below came out of FLUX 3 in one request, sound and all: a night-market conversation in Thai, a honey macro, a paper boat in stop motion, sparklers on Super 8, rain in a noir alley.

What's inside

The FLUX 3 video suite

Eight skills that hand off to each other. Install the router alone and it names the specialist a request needs; install only the specialists you use.

FLUX 3 quick reference

Modes

Every request names its mode and carries the matching media field:

Draft, then commit

A full render takes several minutes. Adding draft: true returns a fast, low-step preview plus a draft_cache, so you can settle concept and composition cheaply before paying for finish. draft_enhance then replays that cache at full quality with the same prompt and settings, so the final render is the shot you approved rather than a fresh attempt.

Judge a draft on event legibility, composition, and continuity. Softness and coarse texture are artifacts of low-step rendering and resolve at full quality.

FLUX image quick reference

Four FLUX.2 [max] generations, one prompt each, no retries. Clockwise from top left: exact quoted typography, hex-specified colors (#2F5D50, #E8A13D, #F2EDE4), flat-vector illustration, photoreal macro detail.

Model selection

All FLUX.2 models handle both text-to-image and image editing natively. FLUX.1 models are also available.

Prompt structure

[Subject] + [Action] + [Style] + [Context] + [Lighting] + [Technical]

Core rules

1. No negative prompts. FLUX doesn't support them; describe what you want instead.
2. Be specific. More detail yields better results.
3. Use natural language. Prose beats keyword lists.
4. Specify lighting. It has the biggest impact on quality.
5. Quote text. Use "quoted text" for typography.
6. Hex colors. Use #RRGGBB alongside color names.

API quick start

import requests
import time

API_KEY = "your-api-key"
BASE_URL = "https://api.bfl.ai"

# Submit request
response = requests.post(
    f"{BASE_URL}/v1/flux-2-pro",
    headers={"x-key": API_KEY},
    json={"prompt": "A serene mountain landscape"}
)
polling_url = response.json()["polling_url"]

# Poll for result
while True:
    result = requests.get(polling_url, headers={"x-key": API_KEY})
    data = result.json()
    if data["status"] == "Ready":
        print(f"Result: {data['result']}")  # Expires in 10 min
        break
    time.sleep(2)
