# genmedia

Agent-first CLI for fal.ai — search, run, and manage 1200+ model endpoints.

Works great for humans in a terminal and equally well for AI agents via shell commands. In a TTY, commands display a lightweight pretty view; when piped or called with `--json`, they emit structured JSON. No MCP required.

## Install

For Linux and macOS:

```bash
curl https://genmedia.sh/install -fsS | bash
```

For Windows:

```bash
irm https://genmedia.sh/install.ps1 | iex
```

## Setup

```bash
genmedia setup
```

Interactive wizard that configures:

- **API key** — saved encrypted to your local config (or skip and use `FAL_KEY` in your environment)
- **Auto-load `.env`** — automatically load `FAL_KEY` and related vars from a project `.env` file
- **Output mode** — `auto` (pretty in TTY, JSON when piped), `json` (always structured), or `standard` (always human-readable)
- **Automatic updates** — check for new versions in the background and swap in on next launch (default: on; set `GENMEDIA_NO_UPDATE=1` to disable)

Get your API key at [fal.ai/dashboard/keys](https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys).

To skip the wizard, set the key in your environment:

```bash
export FAL_KEY=your_fal_api_key
```

### Non-interactive setup (agents / CI)

```bash
genmedia setup --non-interactive --api-key "$FAL_KEY"
genmedia setup --non-interactive --output-format json --no-auto-load-env --auto-update
```

Every flag is optional — fields you don't pass keep their current values, so repeated invocations are idempotent.

| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| `--non-interactive`, `-y` | Skip all prompts. Required when there is no TTY. |
| `--api-key <key>` | API key to save. Pass `""` to clear the saved key. |
| `--no-save-key` | With `--api-key`, don't persist the key to `config.json` (use `FAL_KEY` at runtime instead). |
| `--output-format <auto\|json\|standard>` | Default output mode. |
| `--auto-load-env` / `--no-auto-load-env` | Toggle auto-loading `FAL_KEY` from a project `.env`. |
| `--auto-update` / `--no-auto-update` | Toggle background update checks. |

## Commands

### `models` — Search and inspect models

```bash
genmedia models "text to video"
genmedia models "flux" --category text-to-image
genmedia models --category text-to-speech --limit 5
genmedia models --status all                                      # include deprecated
genmedia models --endpoint_id fal-ai/flux/dev,fal-ai/flux/schnell # fetch specific models
genmedia models --endpoint_id fal-ai/flux/dev --expand openapi-3.0
genmedia models "flux" --cursor <token>                           # next page
```

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--category` | Filter by category (e.g. `text-to-image`, `image-to-video`, `text-to-speech`) |
| `--status` | `active` (default), `deprecated`, or `all` |
| `--limit` | Max results (default: 20) |
| `--cursor` | Pagination cursor from a previous response |
| `--endpoint_id` | Fetch specific model(s) by ID — comma-separated or repeated |
| `--expand` | Expand additional fields: `openapi-3.0`, `enterprise_status` |

### `schema` — Inspect model inputs/outputs

```bash
genmedia schema fal-ai/flux/dev
genmedia schema fal-ai/flux/dev --format openapi
```

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--format` | `compact` (default) or `openapi` — returns full OpenAPI JSON |

### `run` — Run a model

```bash
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat on the moon"
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat" --num_images 2
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat" --logs
genmedia run fal-ai/veo3.1 --prompt "a dog running" --async
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat" --download                               # save to cwd with source file names
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat" --num_images 3 --download "./out/{index}.{ext}"
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --help    # introspect model inputs as CLI help
```

Any model input parameter can be passed as a `--flag value` pair. Run `genmedia run <endpoint_id> --help` to see a model's accepted parameters rendered as CLI flags, or `genmedia schema <endpoint_id>` for the same info as structured JSON.

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--<param>` | Any model input parameter (e.g. `--prompt`, `--num_images`) |
| `--logs` | Stream logs while the model runs (pretty terminal mode only) |
| `--async` | Submit to queue without waiting — returns a `request_id` |
| `--download [template]` | Download every media URL in the result. Optional value is a path or filename template with `{index}`, `{name}`, `{ext}`, `{request_id}` placeholders. Omitted → cwd with source file names. Trailing `/` or an existing directory → dir + source file names. Plain filename with multiple outputs → `_1`, `_2` suffixes on collision. Downloaded paths appear in JSON output under `downloaded_files`. |

### `status` — Check an async job

```bash
genmedia status fal-ai/veo3.1 <request_id>
genmedia status fal-ai/veo3.1 <request_id> --result
genmedia status fal-ai/veo3.1 <request_id> --logs
genmedia status fal-ai/veo3.1 <request_id> --cancel
genmedia status fal-ai/veo3.1 <request_id> --download ./out/   # implies --result
```

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--result` | Fetch the completed result |
| `--logs` | Show logs verbosely |
| `--cancel` | Cancel the queued job |
| `--download [template]` | Same as on `run`. Implies `--result` — fetches the completed result and writes media files to disk. |

### `upload` — Upload files to fal.ai CDN

```bash
genmedia upload ./photo.jpg
genmedia upload https://example.com/image.png
```

Accepts a local file path or a remote URL. Returns a CDN URL you can use as model input.

### `pricing` — Check model pricing

```bash
genmedia pricing fal-ai/flux/dev
```

### `docs` — Search documentation

```bash
genmedia docs "how to use LoRA"
genmedia docs "webhook callbacks"
```

Searches fal.ai documentation, guides, and API references.

### `version` — Show version

```bash
genmedia version
```

Shows the current version and flags any known update (populated by the background checker).

### `gallery` — Browse a per-session HTML preview of generated assets

Every successful `genmedia run` (and `genmedia status --download`) records its outputs into a per-session, self-contained static HTML page under `~/.genmedia/gallery/sessions/<session_id>/index.html`. The page aggregates every image / video / audio / 3D asset produced inside one agent session — across many runs and many endpoints — into a filterable grid with a lightbox view. No server, no dependencies, opens straight from `file://`.

```bash
genmedia gallery                          # pretty TTY: prints `→ Open: <url>`. JSON / non-TTY: full info payload.
genmedia gallery --json                   # structured info payload, agent-safe
genmedia gallery info                     # full info payload, even from a TTY (devs)
genmedia gallery open                     # open the all-sessions index in the default browser
genmedia gallery open current             # open the current session
genmedia gallery open latest              # open the most-recently recorded session (works across shells)
genmedia gallery open <session_id>        # open a specific session
genmedia gallery open latest --print      # resolve path/url without launching the browser
genmedia gallery list                     # list every recorded session (newest first, JSON-friendly)
genmedia gallery list --limit 10          # cap the list (default: 50)
genmedia gallery rename --label "demo run"        # rename the current session (cosmetic — id stays the same)
genmedia gallery rename latest --label "x"        # rename the most-recent session
genmedia gallery rename <session_id> --clear      # remove a session's label
genmedia gallery clear --yes              # delete the current session (--yes is required)
genmedia gallery clear latest --yes       # delete the most-recently recorded session
genmedia gallery clear <session_id> --yes # delete a specific session
genmedia gallery clear all --yes          # delete every recorded session
```

The page auto-refreshes via a tiny client-side poll on `./data.json` while a session is "live" (updated in the last 5 min), so new runs land in the open tab without a manual reload.

> `gallery clear` always requires `--yes` and never prompts interactively — same shape for agents and humans. `GENMEDIA_NO_GALLERY=1` only disables *recording*; `list` / `open` / `clear` still work so you can inspect or purge prior galleries.

The `run` and `status --download` responses include the gallery info too:

```json
{
  "status": "completed",
  "endpoint_id": "fal-ai/flux/dev",
  "request_id": "…",
  "gallery": {
    "session_id": "a1b2c3d4e5f6",
    "path": "/Users/you/.genmedia/gallery/sessions/a1b2c3d4e5f6/index.html",
    "url": "file:///Users/you/.genmedia/gallery/sessions/a1b2c3d4e5f6/index.html"
  }
}
```

**Session detection (agent-agnostic).** The session id is resolved in this order, so the gallery groups outputs correctly across Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Amp, Gemini, Aider, and anything else:

1. `GENMEDIA_SESSION_ID` — explicit override (e.g. set from a hook script).
2. Per-agent env vars: `CODEX_THREAD_ID`, `CLAUDE_SESSION_ID`, `AMP_THREAD_ID`, `CURSOR_TRACE_ID`.
3. **Process-tree walk** — looks for a known agent binary (claude, codex, cursor, amp, gemini, copilot, opencode, aider, cline) in the ancestor chain via `ps -e`. Critical for Claude Code, whose `Bash` tool spawns a fresh shell per call: `process.ppid` changes every invocation, but the Claude process itself lives for the whole conversation and becomes the stable anchor.
4. Terminal-level: `TERM_SESSION_ID` / `ITERM_SESSION_ID` / `WT_SESSION` / `TMUX_PANE`.
5. Fallback: a deterministic hash of `<agent>:<ppid>`.

| Env var | Description |
|---|---|
| `GENMEDIA_NO_GALLERY=1` | Disable gallery recording and rendering entirely. |
| `GENMEDIA_SESSION_ID=<anchor>` | Force a specific session id (any string; it's hashed into the on-disk slug). |
| `GENMEDIA_GALLERY_RETENTION_DAYS=<n>` | Prune session directories older than `n` days (default: 60). |

### Certificate security update (0.7.1)

The 0.7.1 source prepares replacements for all five compiled platforms after the
eMudhra certificate incident. Bun's default roots still require remediation.
The CLI supplies an exclusive clean CA store to each HTTP client, including
the fal SDK, analytics, downloads, and the updater. Certificate verification
stays enabled. Explicit private CA files remain supported through
`NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS`, `SSL_CERT_FILE`, and per-request TLS configuration.
The CLI removes affected public roots from those files before use.

Source builds require the pinned Bun 1.4.3. Bun 1.3.11 does not enforce the
same CA override, so the CLI refuses network access on that older runtime.
The public CA list comes from the compiled Bun runtime and is filtered by
fingerprint before each client uses it. No public CA snapshot is vendored.
Missing or invalid extra CA files produce one warning and fall back to the
filtered public store; explicit per-request CA settings still fail closed.

```bash
CA_FILE=$(bun scripts/write-ca-bundle.ts)
bun install --frozen-lockfile --cafile "$CA_FILE"
bun run build
bun scripts/check-tls.ts
```

Release jobs build and run the certificate probe with each platform's native
Bun executable. They use the already-installed executable for compilation,
which avoids a separate compiler-runtime download.

After 0.7.1 is published, explicitly replace older installations. The command
below runs inside the installed binary: **0.7.0's updater still uses its old
trust store**. It cannot establish a secure upgrade path during this incident;
its downloaded checksum uses that same connection and is not independent proof.
Prefer a replacement downloaded with a patched acquisition tool. Compare its
SHA-256 with a value obtained independently from the publisher before running
it. The release must publish those platform hashes through a separate trusted
channel/site as well as the GitHub checksums file. Candidate hashes from earlier
builds are invalid after source changes.

If using the old updater, understand that limitation:

```bash
genmedia update --force
genmedia version
```

Automatic updates do not cover clients with `GENMEDIA_NO_UPDATE=1`, disabled
`autoUpdate`, or non-interactive use. Replace those installations explicitly.
Before acquisition or reinstallation, update the native certificate store used
by curl, wget, or PowerShell. A patched CLI does not correct those separate
installer clients or the initial request that downloads an installer script.
Keep private CA settings and TLS verification enabled.

The separate Next.js server selects Node 22 and removes affected roots at
startup, including on a provider patch that predates the fixed Node release.
Deployment verification must still record the actual provider runtime and
test both affected chain families from that deployed server.

### `update` — Check for and apply updates

```bash
genmedia update              # download and swap in the latest release
genmedia update --check      # only check, don't download
genmedia update --force      # reinstall even if already on the latest
```

| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| `--check` | Only check for a newer version; don't download |
| `--force` | Re-download and reinstall even if already on the latest |

When automatic updates are enabled (default), every TTY invocation may trigger a rate-limited (1/hour) background check that stages the next release. The next `genmedia` launch atomically swaps it in. Set `GENMEDIA_NO_UPDATE=1` to disable all background checks; the manual `update` command still works.

## Analytics

Released binaries report anonymous usage analytics (PostHog) to help us prioritize improvements. Each install gets a random UUID stored in `~/.genmedia/config.json`; we never collect command arguments, prompts, file paths, API keys, or error messages.

**Events:**

- `command_run` — top-level command name, success/failure, duration
- `cli_first_run` — fired once when the install is first seen
- `setup_completed` — `setup` finished successfully
- `model_run` — `run` finished, with the model endpoint, success/failure, and duration (no inputs or outputs)
- `skills_searched` — `skills list [query]` — the query string and result count
- `skills_installed` / `skills_updated` / `skills_removed` — skill name and status
- `update_applied` — self-update succeeded, with from/to versions

**Caller context:** every event also carries the detected calling agent (e.g. `claude-code`, `codex`, `cursor-agent`, `gemini-cli`, `aider`), the host terminal (`vscode`, `iterm`, `warp`, …), CI flags (`ci`, `ci_provider`, `github_actions`), TTY status, and a per-process `invocation_id` so multiple events from the same CLI run can be stitched together. Detection is env-var based and never collects user content. Set `GENMEDIA_USER_AGENT=<name>` to override or self-attribute when running inside an agent we don't yet detect.

**Opt out:**

```bash
export GENMEDIA_NO_ANALYTICS=1            # per-shell
# or persist in config:
genmedia setup    # (toggle is currently file-only — set "analyticsOptOut": true)
```

Builds from source without a `POSTHOG_KEY` environment variable (the open-source default) report nothing — the analytics module no-ops at runtime.

### `init` — Install the default genmedia skill bundle

```bash
genmedia init
genmedia init --force   # overwrite existing files
```

Installs the default genmedia skill bundle:

| Skill | Purpose |
|---|---|
| `genmedia` | Guided workflow for model discovery, schema inspection, and execution |

The bundle is installed into `.agents/skills/` if the project has a `.agents/` directory, otherwise into `.claude/skills/`. If neither directory exists, the command exits with a message asking you to create one and try again.

After running `init`, compatible agent sessions in that project can use the installed skills without needing to call `--help`. Commit the installed skills directory so teammates and other agents get the same context.

### `skills` — Manage installed agent skills

```bash
genmedia skills list                  # list everything in the registry
genmedia skills list image            # full-text search name + description
genmedia skills install genmedia
genmedia skills update
genmedia skills remove genmedia
```

Installs, updates, lists, and removes agent skills from the genmedia registry. `skills list <query>` runs full-text search via the hosted index API (`GENMEDIA_SKILLS_API_URL`, default `https://genmedia.sh/skills`); the no-query form fetches `index.json` directly from the registry.

## Agent-first design

All commands output structured JSON when piped or called with `--json`:

```bash
genmedia run fal-ai/flux/dev --prompt "a cat" --json
genmedia models "text to video" --json | jq '.models[]'
```

To get a machine-readable description of all commands for use in a system prompt or agent context:

```bash
genmedia --help --json
```

This returns a full schema of every command, its arguments, and options. Agents that don't support MCP (Codex, Gemini CLI, etc.) can use fal.ai through `genmedia` via standard shell commands.
