Slack GIF Creator

94TrustedShips scripts

Animated visual assets tailored for Slack messaging and custom emoji uploads.

What it does

Installing this skill allows the assistant to programmatically generate and refine animated images formatted for Slack. It focuses on maintaining file size efficiency and resolution compliance, ensuring your created visuals render correctly within the platform's constraints.

By integrating these scripts, the assistant gains the capability to construct custom frames using drawing primitives, apply smooth motion curves, and validate the final file against specific performance requirements. It effectively turns the assistant into a specialized generator for custom workspace media.

When it earns its place

Reach for it when…

This skill is ideal when you need to produce lightweight, high-contrast animations for internal communication, such as custom reaction emojis or short, looping status indicators. It performs best for geometric designs, simple icons, or programmed motion graphics where precise control over frame count, color depth, and pixel dimensions is required.

Look elsewhere when…

Avoid this for editing complex video files, handling transparent background compositing for high-resolution photography, or creating high-fidelity artistic illustrations. It is not intended for image processing tasks that fall outside the narrow, low-resolution constraints required by Slack, nor should it be used for generating non-animated static artwork.

What to say to use it

You never invoke a skill directly — the assistant picks it up when your request matches what it covers. These are the kinds of things that do that.

  • create a simple spinning star animation for my team slack
  • make a custom emoji of a bouncing heart for our channel
  • generate a looping status icon under 3 seconds
  • build a small animated pulse indicator for Slack

Install it

Install for all your projects

Copy the skill directory into your personal skills folder. Claude picks it up on its own the next time your request matches what it does — there is nothing to enable.

bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch main https://github.com/anthropics/skills.git /tmp/skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/slack-gif-creator ~/.claude/skills/slack-gif-creator

Install for one project only

Put it in the project's own skills folder instead, so it can be committed and shared with everyone working on that repository.

bash
cp -r /tmp/skills/skills/slack-gif-creator .claude/skills/slack-gif-creator

If a skill of the same name exists in both places, the personal one wins.

Installing on Claude.ai or through the API instead? The full guide covers every surface.

Pair it with an MCP server

Slack GIF Creator changes how the work is done. These servers change what Claude can reach while doing it.
