What This Skill Does
CLI/TUI tool to search GIF providers (Tenor, Giphy), preview results, download GIFs, and extract still frames or sprite sheets. Supports JSON output and pipe-friendly formats for scripting.
Replaces manually browsing GIF websites and using separate tools to extract frames or create sprite sheets.
When to Use It
- Search Tenor or Giphy for GIFs matching a query from the terminal
- Download GIFs directly to ~/Downloads with a single command
- Extract a still frame from a GIF at a specific timestamp
- Generate a sprite sheet (grid of frames) from a GIF for documentation or PRs
- Pipe GIF URLs into other scripts or tools for further processing
- Browse and preview GIFs interactively using the TUI mode
Install
$ openclaw skills install @steipete/gifgrepgifgrep
Use gifgrep to search GIF providers (Tenor/Giphy), browse in a TUI, download results, and extract stills or sheets.
GIF-Grab (gifgrep workflow)
- Search → preview → download → extract (still/sheet) for fast review and sharing.
Quick start
gifgrep cats --max 5gifgrep cats --format url | head -n 5gifgrep search --json cats | jq '.[0].url'gifgrep tui "office handshake"gifgrep cats --download --max 1 --format url
TUI + previews
- TUI:
gifgrep tui "query" - CLI still previews:
--thumbs(Kitty/Ghostty only; still frame)
Download + reveal
--downloadsaves to~/Downloads--revealshows the last download in Finder
Stills + sheets
gifgrep still ./clip.gif --at 1.5s -o still.pnggifgrep sheet ./clip.gif --frames 9 --cols 3 -o sheet.png- Sheets = single PNG grid of sampled frames (great for quick review, docs, PRs, chat).
- Tune:
--frames(count),--cols(grid width),--padding(spacing).
Providers
--source auto|tenor|giphyGIPHY_API_KEYrequired for--source giphyTENOR_API_KEYoptional (Tenor demo key used if unset)
Output
--jsonprints an array of results (id,title,url,preview_url,tags,width,height)--formatfor pipe-friendly fields (e.g.,url)

@ivangdavilaAutomates, tests, and debugs browsers with Playwright: locators, auto-waiting, traces, CI runs, and MCP browser control. Use when a test is flaky, times out, or fails only in CI or headless; when a locator matches multiple elements or the wrong one (strict mode violation); when clicks need force, waits become sleeps, or networkidle never settles; for storageState and login setup, request mocking and HAR replay, uploads and downloads, iframes and shadow DOM, popups and dialogs, screenshot diffs that change per machine, trace and report artifacts, sharding a slow suite, device and permission emulation, accessibility checks, driving a real browser through Playwright MCP, extracting data from JS-rendered pages, or porting a Cypress, Puppeteer, or Selenium suite to Playwright. Not for maintaining an existing Cypress or Puppeteer suite (cypress, puppeteer) or for work a plain HTTP request answers (http).
GitHub
@byungkyuGitHub API integration with managed OAuth. Access repositories, issues, pull requests, commits, branches, and users. Use this skill when users want to interact with GitHub repositories, manage issues and PRs, search code, or automate workflows. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a GitHub connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a GitHub action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with GitHub examples; they add no GitHub capability - GitHub is itself an event source, so its own events are in `references/github/triggers.md`, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
