What it does
Pixel Gif Maker is an agent skill from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. Generate retro pixel-text animated GIFs for Slack, Teams, or a PR comment — scrolling marquees, heartbeat pulses, confetti parties, twinkling sparkles — from a bundled pure-stdlib Python script (no PIL, no dependencies, byte-exact deterministic). Use when someone wants a celebration GIF, a 'ship it' GIF, a custom Slack GIF, a launch-day animation, or to make a team win feel like one. Produces a ready-to-drag .gif file.
Its SKILL.md is about 940 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/pixel_gif.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Social media graphics. It works with Python and Slack. The repository describes itself as: 1255 professional Agent Skills for Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor & Codex — PRDs, postmortems, leases, medical bills, layoffs, go-bags, new countries. Plain markdown, MIT, in… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Someone wants a celebration GIF
- A custom Slack GIF
- A launch-day animation
- Make a team win feel like one
Example prompts
- “ship it”
- “/pixel-gif-maker”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run the bundled script — no installs, Python 3 stdlib only
- Uppercase renders best (the font is A–Z, 0–9, and common punctuation; unknown
- Same arguments + same --seed → byte-identical file; change --seed to
- Hand back the file path and one line on which mode was chosen and why.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1cbf1f0. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Pixel Gif Maker loads about 937 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 110 tokens; SKILL.md has 417 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

- Generate retro pixel-text animated GIFs for Slack, Teams, or a PR comment — scrolling marquees, heartbeat pulses, confetti parties, twinkling sparkles — from a bundled pure-stdlib Python script (no PIL, no dependencies, byte-exact deterministic). Use when someone wants a celebration GIF, a 'ship it' GIF, a custom Slack GIF, a launch-day animation, or to make a team win feel like one. Produces a ready-to-drag .gif file.
Pixel GIF Maker Skill
The most-reacted message in any Slack channel is never the status update — it's the GIF. This skill makes custom ones in a retro pixel style: your words, four animations, eight colors, and a file small enough to drag anywhere. The whole encoder is a bundled pure-stdlib Python script — this library's calculators are dependency-free and deterministic, and so is its confetti.
What This Skill Produces
- A
.giffile (GIF89a, looping) with the user's text in chunky 5×7 pixel type - One of four animations: scroll (marquee), pulse (heartbeat zoom), party (hue-cycling text + confetti), sparkle (twinkling stars)
- Sized for chat: typically 10–60KB, well under any upload limit
Required Inputs
Ask for (if not already provided):
- The text — under 24 characters; pixel fonts are for punchlines
("SHIP IT", "1000 STARS", "GG TEAM", "V63 IS LIVE"). Type
*for a ♥. - The mood → mode: victory lap =
party· announcement =scroll· emphasis =pulse· appreciation =sparkle - Optional: colors (
night, plum, teal, mint, gold, coral, white, ink, violet) and--scale 1-4(default 3)
Process
- Run the bundled script — no installs, Python 3 stdlib only:
bash python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --text "SHIP IT" --mode party --out shipit.gif python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --text "GG TEAM *" --mode sparkle --fg gold --bg night --out gg.gif python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --self-test # verify all four modes, print hashes - Uppercase renders best (the font is A–Z, 0–9, and common punctuation; unknown
characters become
?— warn the user rather than surprise them). - Same arguments + same
--seed→ byte-identical file; change--seedto reshuffle confetti/star positions. - Hand back the file path and one line on which mode was chosen and why.
Output Format
The .gif itself, plus:
🎉 shipit.gif — 159×57, 10 frames, party mode (confetti for a launch).
Drag it into Slack. Want it calmer (sparkle) or bigger (--scale 4)?Show full SKILL.md (182 more words)Show less
Quality Checks
- Text length checked BEFORE generating — over 24 characters, ask them to cut (offer the punchline edit: "SHIPPED THE MIGRATION" → "SHIPPED IT")
- Mode matches the moment — a layoff-week channel does not get confetti; when in doubt, sparkle
- Script ran without error and the reported file size is under ~200KB
- Any character outside the font set was flagged to the user, not silently
turned into
?
Anti-Patterns
- Do not reach for image libraries or external services — the point of the bundled encoder is zero dependencies and deterministic output
- Do not generate GIFs containing colleagues' names in mocking contexts — celebration tool, not a roast tool; decline and suggest the kind version
- Do not cram sentences in — if the user insists past 24 characters, use scroll mode and say why
- Do not promise Slack emoji-size rendering — this makes message GIFs; custom emoji have their own size rules the user handles in Slack settings
Example Trigger Phrases
- "Make a GIF to celebrate the launch in Slack."
- "Make a pixel-art banner for this PR comment."
- "Make a team win feel like one."
- "Make a scrolling marquee GIF."
