Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 1 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No obfuscated payloads: failed

    Contains 1 obfuscated or encoded payload pattern.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

    What it found

    • modules/creative/skills/cli-demo-gif/.clawnet/unsigned-skill.json:45124-character base64 literal
      "opReturnHex": "6a2231394878696756345179427633744870515663554551797131707a5a56646f4175744d47082d2d2d0a6e616d653a20636c692d64656d6f2d6769660a76657273696f6e3a203…

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned b-open-io/prompts at 3e198cc712.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to generate animated GIFs directly from command-line interfaces, visualizing terminal sessions or code execution outputs. It bridges the gap between text-based interactions and dynamic visual documentation by capturing live CLI activity into shareable image files.

When to use it

  • Create quick visual tutorials for complex shell commands without needing a screen recording tool.
  • Document debugging sessions by converting error logs and fix sequences into animated walkthroughs.
  • Generate engaging content for social media or internal wikis that requires showing terminal interactions.
  • Produce lightweight assets for README files where video is too heavy but static screenshots are insufficient.

Key capabilities

  • Converts live command-line input and output into animated GIF formats.
  • Captures visual state changes within a terminal environment automatically.
  • Integrates seamlessly with workflows requiring immediate visual feedback on CLI operations.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a GIF showing how to install Node.js using the official package manager."
  • "Create an animated demo of a successful git push to a remote repository."
  • "Visualize the step-by-step process of configuring environment variables in a bash script."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your terminal session is stable and free from excessive scrolling, as rapid output may degrade GIF quality. Limit the duration of captured sessions to maintain file size efficiency for easy sharing.
