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 passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • 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 obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

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

  • 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 davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

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

About this skill

What it does

This skill allows AI agents to create and share animated GIFs directly within Slack channels. It transforms static images or short video clips into engaging, looping animations for instant communication.

When to use it

  • Turning a screenshot of a complex dashboard error into an animated walkthrough.
  • Creating quick visual feedback loops during live coding sessions in team chats.
  • Generating shareable reaction GIFs from user-uploaded photos or memes.
  • Highlighting specific moments in a video call recording for later reference.

Key capabilities

  • Direct Slack integration for seamless sharing without leaving the chat interface.
  • Automatic conversion of image sequences and short videos into GIF format.
  • Support for various media inputs including static images and video files.

Example prompts

  • "Convert this screenshot of the error log into a 3-second animated GIF highlighting the red warning text."
  • "Turn the attached 10-second video clip of the server restart into a looping GIF."
  • "Create a reaction GIF from the uploaded photo showing the team celebrating the deployment."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Slack workspace has the necessary permissions for media uploads, as some organizations restrict external file processing. Keep input videos under 60 seconds to maintain optimal GIF quality and file size limits within Slack's constraints.
