How does this skill handle Slack's 64KB emoji limit?

The toolkit utilizes aggressive color quantization (limiting to 32-48 colors), reduces frame counts to 10-15, and employs a specialized GIFBuilder that provides real-time size validation to ensure the output is upload-ready.

Does it support text rendering in small GIFs?

Absolutely. It includes a typography module that renders text with customizable outlines, which is essential for maintaining legibility at the 128x128 resolution used by Slack emojis.

Do I need external design software to use this?

No, this skill is a standalone toolkit that allows Claude to programmatically generate the entire GIF from scratch using Python-based primitives and helper utilities.

Can I combine multiple animation effects?

Yes, the animation primitives are fully composable. You can layer multiple effects, such as applying a 'shake' on impact during a 'bounce' animation, to create complex and unique motion graphics.

Design Tools

Generates and optimizes animated GIFs and custom emojis specifically tailored for Slack's strict file size and dimension constraints.

The Slack GIF & Emoji Toolkit is a comprehensive suite of tools designed to help Claude create, animate, and optimize assets for Slack. It features specialized validators for Slack's unique constraints—such as the challenging 64KB limit for custom emojis—and provides a rich library of composable animation primitives including shakes, bounces, morphs, and kaleidoscope effects. This skill streamlines the creative process by handling technical optimizations like color quantization and frame-rate adjustment, allowing users to generate production-ready Slack assets from simple natural language descriptions.
