slack-gif-creator

What problem does it solves? Creating engaging, optimized GIFs for Slack that meet strict size and dimension requirements can be complex and time-consuming. This skill provides a powerful toolkit to generate custom animated GIFs and emojis, ensuring they are always Slack-ready.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Slack-Optimized GIF Creation: Generate animated GIFs and emojis that automatically adhere to Slack's size and dimension constraints.
• Composable Animation Primitives: Utilize a rich set of building blocks like shake, bounce, spin, pulse, fade, zoom, and more to create dynamic animations.
• Built-in Validators: Automatically check GIFs against Slack's specific requirements for messages (up to 2MB) and emojis (strict 64KB).
• Use Case: A user wants a custom "celebration" emoji for a team announcement. This skill can create a small, vibrant, bouncing emoji GIF that fits Slack's strict 64KB limit, ready for immediate upload.

Quick Start

from core.gif_builder import GIFBuilder from core.frame_composer import create_blank_frame, draw_emoji_enhanced import math

builder = GIFBuilder(128, 128, 10)

for i in range(12): frame = create_blank_frame(128, 128, (240, 248, 255)) scale = 1.0 + math.sin(i * 0.5) * 0.15 size = int(60 * scale) draw_emoji_enhanced(frame, '😱', position=(64-size//2, 64-size//2), size=size, shadow=False) builder.add_frame(frame)

builder.save('reaction.gif', num_colors=40, optimize_for_emoji=True)
