Search and send GIFs on WhatsApp. Handles the Tenor→MP4 conversion required for WhatsApp.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Send GIFs naturally in WhatsApp conversations.
WhatsApp doesn't support direct Tenor/Giphy URLs. You MUST: Download the GIF Convert to MP4 Send with gifPlayback: true
gifgrep "SEARCH QUERY" --max 5 --format url Search in English for best results. Always get 5 results and pick the best one based on the filename/description - don't just take the first result.
curl -sL "GIF_URL" -o /tmp/gif.gif
ffmpeg -i /tmp/gif.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" /tmp/gif.mp4 -y
message action=send to=NUMBER message="" filePath=/tmp/gif.mp4 gifPlayback=true Note: Use invisible character (left-to-right mark, U+200E) as message to send GIF without visible caption.
# Search gifgrep "thumbs up" --max 3 --format url # Pick best URL, then: curl -sL "https://media.tenor.com/xxx.gif" -o /tmp/g.gif && \ ffmpeg -i /tmp/g.gif -movflags faststart -pix_fmt yuv420p -vf "scale=trunc(iw/2)*2:trunc(ih/2)*2" /tmp/g.mp4 -y 2>/dev/null # Then send with message tool, gifPlayback=true
✅ Good times: User asks for a GIF Celebrating good news Funny reactions Expressing emotions (excitement, facepalm, etc.) ❌ Don't overuse: One GIF per context is enough Not every message needs a GIF

Source domains: gifgrep only searches trusted GIF providers (Tenor, Giphy) File handling: All downloads go to /tmp and are overwritten each time (-y flag) Empty caption: The character (U+200E, Left-to-Right Mark) is used as an invisible caption so WhatsApp sends the GIF without visible text. This is a standard Unicode control character, not an injection technique WhatsApp integration: Uses the platform's built-in message tool — no separate WhatsApp credentials needed ffmpeg safety: Processes only GIF files from trusted providers; no arbitrary file execution
WhatsApp converts all GIFs to MP4 internally Direct Tenor/Giphy URLs often fail MP4 with gifPlayback=true displays as looping GIF Small file size = fast delivery
