How does this skill optimize GIF file sizes?

It implements color reduction (limiting to 48-128 colors), duplicate frame removal, and FPS adjustments to keep file sizes low enough for Slack's upload limits.

Can I animate my own uploaded images?

Absolutely. You can use PIL to load your own images as frames, and use the skill's GIFBuilder to assemble, resize, and optimize them into a final Slack-ready GIF.

What Python dependencies are required?

The skill requires the Pillow (PIL), imageio, and numpy packages to handle advanced image processing, mathematical calculations, and GIF encoding.

Does it support non-linear animations?

Yes, it includes a variety of easing functions such as ease_in, ease_out, bounce_out, and elastic_out to create professional, fluid motion instead of basic linear movement.

What are the recommended dimensions for Slack emojis?

Slack emojis are best optimized at 128x128 pixels. This skill defaults to those dimensions and provides built-in validation to ensure they meet Slack's requirements.
