+# Slack GIF Creator
+
+A toolkit providing utilities and knowledge for creating animated GIFs optimized for Slack.
+
+## Slack Requirements
+
+**Dimensions:**
+- Emoji GIFs: 128x128 (recommended)
+- Message GIFs: 480x480
+
+**Parameters:**
+- FPS: 10-30 (lower is smaller file size)
+- Colors: 48-128 (fewer = smaller file size)
+- Duration: Keep under 3 seconds for emoji GIFs
+
+## Core Workflow
+
+```python
+from core.gif_builder import GIFBuilder
+from PIL import Image, ImageDraw
+
+# 1. Create builder
+builder = GIFBuilder(width=128, height=128, fps=10)
+
+# 2. Generate frames
+for i in range(12):
+    frame = Image.new('RGB', (128, 128), (240, 248, 255))
+    draw = ImageDraw.Draw(frame)
+
+    # Draw your animation using PIL primitives
+    # (circles, polygons, lines, etc.)
+
+    builder.add_frame(frame)
+
+# 3. Save with optimization
+builder.save('output.gif', num_colors=48, optimize_for_emoji=True)
+```
+
+## Drawing Graphics
+
+### Working with User-Uploaded Images
+If a user uploads an image, consider whether they want to:
+- **Use it directly** (e.g., "animate this", "split this into frames")
+- **Use it as inspiration** (e.g., "make something like this")
+
+Load and work with images using PIL:
+```python
+from PIL import Image
+
+uploaded = Image.open('file.png')
+# Use directly, or just as reference for colors/style
+```
+
+### Drawing from Scratch
+When drawing graphics from scratch, use PIL ImageDraw primitives:
+
+```python
+from PIL import ImageDraw
+
+draw = ImageDraw.Draw(frame)
+
+# Circles/ovals
+draw.ellipse([x1, y1, x2, y2], fill=(r, g, b), outline=(r, g, b), width=3)
+
+# Stars, triangles, any polygon
+points = [(x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3), ...]
+draw.polygon(points, fill=(r, g, b), outline=(r, g, b), width=3)
+
+# Lines
+draw.line([(x1, y1), (x2, y2)], fill=(r, g, b), width=5)
+
+# Rectangles
+draw.rectangle([x1, y1, x2, y2], fill=(r, g, b), outline=(r, g, b), width=3)
+```
+
+**Don't use:** Emoji fonts (unreliable across platforms) or assume pre-packaged graphics exist in this skill.
+
+### Making Graphics Look Good
+
+Graphics should look polished and creative, not basic. Here's how:
+
+**Use thicker lines** - Always set `width=2` or higher for outlines and lines. Thin lines (width=1) look choppy and amateurish.
+
+**Add visual depth**:
+- Use gradients for backgrounds (`create_gradient_background`)
+- Layer multiple shapes for complexity (e.g., a star with a smaller star inside)
+
+**Make shapes more interesting**:
+- Don't just draw a plain circle - add highlights, rings, or patterns
+- Stars can have glows (draw larger, semi-transparent versions behind)
+- Combine multiple shapes (stars + sparkles, circles + rings)
+
+**Pay attention to colors**:
+- Use vibrant, complementary colors
+- Add contrast (dark outlines on light shapes, light outlines on dark shapes)
+- Consider the overall composition
+
+**For complex shapes** (hearts, snowflakes, etc.):
+- Use combinations of polygons and ellipses
+- Calculate points carefully for symmetry
+- Add details (a heart can have a highlight curve, snowflakes have intricate branches)
+
+Be creative and detailed! A good Slack GIF should look polished, not like placeholder graphics.
+
+## Available Utilities
+
+### GIFBuilder (`core.gif_builder`)
+Assembles frames and optimizes for Slack:
+```python
+builder = GIFBuilder(width=128, height=128, fps=10)
+builder.add_frame(frame)  # Add PIL Image
+builder.add_frames(frames)  # Add list of frames
+builder.save('out.gif', num_colors=48, optimize_for_emoji=True, remove_duplicates=True)
+```
+
+### Validators (`core.validators`)
+Check if GIF meets Slack requirements:
+```python
+from core.validators import validate_gif, is_slack_ready
+
+# Detailed validation
+passes, info = validate_gif('my.gif', is_emoji=True, verbose=True)
+
+# Quick check
+if is_slack_ready('my.gif'):
+    print("Ready!")
+```
+
+### Easing Functions (`core.easing`)
+Smooth motion instead of linear:
+```python
+from core.easing import interpolate
+
+# Progress from 0.0 to 1.0
+t = i / (num_frames - 1)
+
+# Apply easing
+y = interpolate(start=0, end=400, t=t, easing='ease_out')
+
+# Available: linear, ease_in, ease_out, ease_in_out,
+#           bounce_out, elastic_out, back_out
+```
+
+### Frame Helpers (`core.frame_composer`)
+Convenience functions for common needs:
+```python
+from core.frame_composer import (
+    create_blank_frame,         # Solid color background
+    create_gradient_background,  # Vertical gradient
+    draw_circle,                # Helper for circles
+    draw_text,                  # Simple text rendering
+    draw_star                   # 5-pointed star
+)
+```
+
+## Animation Concepts
+
+### Shake/Vibrate
+Offset object position with oscillation:
+- Use `math.sin()` or `math.cos()` with frame index
+- Add small random variations for natural feel
+- Apply to x and/or y position
+
+### Pulse/Heartbeat
+Scale object size rhythmically:
+- Use `math.sin(t * frequency * 2 * math.pi)` for smooth pulse
+- For heartbeat: two quick pulses then pause (adjust sine wave)
+- Scale between 0.8 and 1.2 of base size
+
+### Bounce
+Object falls and bounces:
+- Use `interpolate()` with `easing='bounce_out'` for landing
+- Use `easing='ease_in'` for falling (accelerating)
+- Apply gravity by increasing y velocity each frame
+
+### Spin/Rotate
+Rotate object around center:
+- PIL: `image.rotate(angle, resample=Image.BICUBIC)`
+- For wobble: use sine wave for angle instead of linear
+
+### Fade In/Out
+Gradually appear or disappear:
+- Create RGBA image, adjust alpha channel
+- Or use `Image.blend(image1, image2, alpha)`
+- Fade in: alpha from 0 to 1
+- Fade out: alpha from 1 to 0
+
+### Slide
+Move object from off-screen to position:
+- Start position: outside frame bounds
+- End position: target location
+- Use `interpolate()` with `easing='ease_out'` for smooth stop
+- For overshoot: use `easing='back_out'`
+
+### Zoom
+Scale and position for zoom effect:
+- Zoom in: scale from 0.1 to 2.0, crop center
+- Zoom out: scale from 2.0 to 1.0
+- Can add motion blur for drama (PIL filter)
+
+### Explode/Particle Burst
+Create particles radiating outward:
+- Generate particles with random angles and velocities
+- Update each particle: `x += vx`, `y += vy`
+- Add gravity: `vy += gravity_constant`
+- Fade out particles over time (reduce alpha)
+
+## Optimization Strategies
+
+Only when asked to make the file size smaller, implement a few of the following methods:
+
+1. **Fewer frames** - Lower FPS (10 instead of 20) or shorter duration
+2. **Fewer colors** - `num_colors=48` instead of 128
+3. **Smaller dimensions** - 128x128 instead of 480x480
+4. **Remove duplicates** - `remove_duplicates=True` in save()
+5. **Emoji mode** - `optimize_for_emoji=True` auto-optimizes
+
+```python
+# Maximum optimization for emoji
+builder.save(
+    'emoji.gif',
+    num_colors=48,
+    optimize_for_emoji=True,
+    remove_duplicates=True
+)
+```
+
+## Philosophy
+
+This skill provides:
+- **Knowledge**: Slack's requirements and animation concepts
+- **Utilities**: GIFBuilder, validators, easing functions
+- **Flexibility**: Create the animation logic using PIL primitives
+
+It does NOT provide:
+- Rigid animation templates or pre-made functions
+- Emoji font rendering (unreliable across platforms)
+- A library of pre-packaged graphics built into the skill
+
+**Note on user uploads**: This skill doesn't include pre-built graphics, but if a user uploads an image, use PIL to load and work with it - interpret based on their request whether they want it used directly or just as inspiration.
+
+Be creative! Combine concepts (bouncing + rotating, pulsing + sliding, etc.) and use PIL's full capabilities.
