pixel-gif-maker is a cursor rule for Cursor from mohitagw15856/pm-claude-skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (914 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for creating small, looping animated GIFs with chunky retro pixel lettering. It supports scrolling text, pulsing text, confetti, and sparkling effects, using a bundled Python script that needs no extra libraries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create short celebration, announcement, emphasis, or appreciation GIFs from text, with optional colours and scale settings.

Cursor rule for Cursor

Written for Cursor: a Cursor rule (.mdc).

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --text "SHIP IT" --mode party --out shipit.gif.

Good fit Use it to create short celebration, announcement, emphasis, or appreciation GIFs from text, with optional colours and scale settings.

About the project

PM Skills is a collection of plain-Markdown instructions that teach AI assistants structured methods for handling professional, personal, and life-admin tasks. People use it with Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Cursor, Codex, and other supported agents for work such as writing product requirements, reviewing documents, or planning difficult situations.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pixel-gif-maker scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

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

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

  • The text — under 24 characters; pixel fonts are for punchlines ("SHIP IT", "1000 STARS", "GG TEAM", "V63 IS LIVE"). Type * for a ♥.
  • The mood → mode: victory lap = party · announcement = scroll · emphasis = pulse · appreciation = sparkle
  • Optional: colors (night, plum, teal, mint, gold, coral, white, ink, violet) and --scale 1-4 (default 3)

Process

  1. Run the bundled script — no installs, Python 3 stdlib only:
    python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --text "SHIP IT" --mode party --out shipit.gif
    python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --text "GG TEAM *" --mode sparkle --fg gold --bg night --out gg.gif
    python3 scripts/pixel_gif.py --self-test    # verify all four modes, print hashes
    
  2. Uppercase renders best (the font is A–Z, 0–9, and common punctuation; unknown characters become ? — warn the user rather than surprise them).
  3. Same arguments + same --seed → byte-identical file; change --seed to reshuffle confetti/star positions.
  4. Hand back the file path and one line on which mode was chosen and why.

Output Format

The .gif itself, plus:

🎉 shipit.gif — 159×57, 10 frames, party mode (confetti for a launch).
Drag it into Slack. Want it calmer (sparkle) or bigger (--scale 4)?

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
