# Slack GIF Creator - Flexible Toolkit A toolkit for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack. Provides validators for Slack's constraints, composable animation primitives, and optional helper utilities. **Apply these tools however needed to achieve the creative vision.** ## Slack's Requirements Slack has specific requirements for GIFs based on their use: **Message GIFs:** - Max size: ~2MB - Optimal dimensions: 480x480 - Typical FPS: 15-20 - Color limit: 128-256 - Duration: 2-5s **Emoji GIFs:** - Max size: 64KB (strict limit) - Optimal dimensions: 128x128 - Typical FPS: 10-12 - Color limit: 32-48 - Duration: 1-2s **Emoji GIFs are challenging** - the 64KB limit is strict. Strategies that help: - Limit to 10-15 frames total - Use 32-48 colors maximum - Keep designs simple - Avoid gradients - Validate file size frequently ## Toolkit Structure This skill provides three types of tools: 1. **Validators** - Check if a GIF meets Slack's requirements 2. **Animation Primitives** - Composable building blocks for motion (shake, bounce, move, kaleidoscope) 3. **Helper Utilities** - Optional functions for common needs (text, colors, effects) **Complete creative freedom is available in how these tools are applied.** ## Core Validators To ensure a GIF meets Slack's constraints, use these validators: ```python from core.gif_builder import GIFBuilder # After creating your GIF, check if it meets requirements builder = GIFBuilder(width=128, height=128, fps=10) # ... add your fram
