image-bg-remove

Use this skill for all background removal requests on Starchild.

Covers: portrait background removal (ID photos, headshots), product cutouts (e-commerce white-background), group photo background removal, pet/animal cutouts, object isolation, and preparing transparent PNGs for compositing.

Core principle: call the provided script. Do not re-implement proxy/billing plumbing.

Key difference from other image skills: this skill uses a dedicated background removal model (fal-ai/bria/background/remove — Bria RMBG 2.0), not the general-purpose nanopro/gpt models. No prompt is needed — just provide an image.

1. Quick start — local file (most common)

exec(open('skills/image-bg-remove/remove_bg.py').read())
result = remove_bg(image_path="uploads/photo.jpg")
# result -> {"success": True, "image": {"local_path": "output/images/..."}, "cost": 0.01, "duration_s": 3.2}
