This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed, one of 14 indexed copies. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.
slack-gif-creator from timwukp/agent-skills-best-practice is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.
Knowledge and utilities for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack. Provides constraints, validation tools, and animation concepts. Use when users request animated GIFs for Slack like "make me a GIF of X doing Y for Slack.".
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Slack GIF Creator
A toolkit providing utilities and knowledge for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack.
## Slack Requirements
**Dimensions:**
- Emoji GIFs: 128x128 (recommended)
- Message GIFs: 480x480
**Parameters:**
- FPS: 10-30 (lower is smaller file size)
- Colors: 48-128 (fewer = smaller file size)
- Duration: Keep under 3 seconds for emoji GIFs
## Core Workflow
```python
from core.gif_builder import GIFBuilder
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
# 1. Create builder
builder = GIFBuilder(width=128, height=128, fps=10)
# 2. Generate frames
for i in range(12):
frame = Image.new('RGB', (128, 128), (240, 248, 255))
draw = ImageDraw.Draw(frame)
# Draw your animation using PIL primitives
# (circles, polygons, lines, etc.)
builder.add_frame(frame)
# 3. Save with optimization
builder.save('output.gif', num_colors=48, optimize_for_emoji=True)
```
## Drawing Graphics
### Working with User-Uploaded Images
If a user uploads an image, consider whether they want to:
- **Use it directly** (e.g., "animate this", "split this into frames")
- **Use it as inspiration** (e.g., "make something like this")
Load and work with images using PIL:
```python

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260309.0790ef5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
