SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Finding, downloading, and reviewing GIFs from providers like Tenor and Giphy normally requires manual browser searches and separate tools for frame extraction. This Skill wraps the gifgrep CLI/TUI so you can search, preview, download, and extract stills or frame sheets in one workflow. ## Core Features & Use Cases - GIF Search Across Providers: Query Tenor and Giphy from the CLI or an interactive TUI, with JSON or pipe-friendly output formats. - Download and Reveal: Save selected GIFs to ~/Downloads and reveal them in Finder with a single flag. - Still and Sheet Extraction: Extract a single frame at a timestamp or generate a grid sheet of sampled frames for quick review in docs, PRs, or chat. - Use Case: You need a reaction GIF for a pull request comment. Search for it, download the top result, and generate a 9-frame sheet to verify the animation before sharing. ## Quick Start Use gifgrep to search for "office handshake" GIFs, download the top result, and extract a 9-frame sheet from it.

How to extract a still frame from a GIF file?▼

Use gifgrep still with the --at flag to pick a timestamp, such as gifgrep still ./clip.gif --at 1.5s -o still.png. For multiple frames, gifgrep sheet generates a grid of sampled frames as a single PNG.

Does gifgrep support both Tenor and Giphy?▼

Why are gifgrep terminal previews not showing?▼

Inline still previews with --thumbs only work in Kitty or Ghostty terminals. In other terminals, use the TUI mode or extract stills and sheets to files instead.
