Generate retro pixel-text animated GIFs for Slack, Teams, or a PR comment — scrolling marquees, heartbeat pulses, confetti parties, twinkling sparkles — from a bundled pure-stdlib Python script (no PIL, no dependencies, byte-exact deterministic). Use when someone wants a celebration GIF, a 'ship it' GIF, a custom Slack GIF, a launch-day animation, or to make a team win feel like one. Produces a ready-to-drag .gif file.

# Pixel GIF Maker Skill

The most-reacted message in any Slack channel is never the status update — it's the
GIF. This skill makes custom ones in a retro pixel style: your words, four
animations, eight colors, and a file small enough to drag anywhere. The whole
encoder is a bundled pure-stdlib Python script — this library's calculators are
dependency-free and deterministic, and so is its confetti.

## What This Skill Produces

- A `.gif` file (GIF89a, looping) with the user's text in chunky 5×7 pixel type
- One of four animations: **scroll** (marquee), **pulse** (heartbeat zoom),
  **party** (hue-cycling text + confetti), **sparkle** (twinkling stars)
- Sized for chat: typically 10–60KB, well under any upload limit
