Base URL: https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/

Two Output Options

Option 1: Hyperlink (fast, universal)

Generate a clickable link — recipient sees the animation in their browser.

[▶️ MESSAGE TEXT](https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/#text=MESSAGE+TEXT&emotion=emphatic&dark=true&share=yes)

Option 2: GIF Download (requires browser tool)

Generate an animated GIF file that can be attached to messages.

Hyperlink Examples

Important announcement:

[▶️ BREAKING NEWS](https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/#text=BREAKING+NEWS&emotion=emphatic&dark=true&share=yes)

Friendly greeting:

[▶️ Hey there!](https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/#text=Hey+there!&emotion=casual&dark=false&share=yes)

Celebration:

[▶️ Congratulations!](https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/#text=Congratulations!&emotion=excited&share=yes)

GIF Export Workflow (Browser Required)

Open the export URL in browser:

browser action=open targetUrl="https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/?export=gif#text=Hello&emotion=emphatic" profile=chrome

Wait ~15-20 seconds for render + encode

Find the downloaded GIF:

ls -t ~/Downloads/iblipper_*.gif | head -1

Read/attach the file to your message

Export query parameters:

Parameter	Type	Description	Default
`export`	string	Format: `gif`, `apng`, `png`	—
`width`	number	Output width in pixels	480
`fps`	number	Frames per second (8, 15, 30)	15

When to Use

✅ Good for:

Greetings and introductions
Important announcements
Celebrating milestones
Dramatic reveals
Adding personality to messages

❌ Skip for:

Long-form content (keep to 1-10 words)
Urgent safety alerts (plain text is faster)

CLI Script

For quick URL generation, use the included shell script:

# Basic usage
./scripts/iblipper.sh "Hello World"
# https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/#text=Hello+World&emotion=emphatic&dark=true&share=yes

# With emotion
./scripts/iblipper.sh "Breaking News" hurry

# Light mode
./scripts/iblipper.sh "Good Morning" idyllic light

# As markdown link
./scripts/iblipper.sh -m "Click me!" excited
# [▶️ Click me!](https://...)

# GIF export URL
./scripts/iblipper.sh --gif "Export this" playful

Tips

Keep text concise — 1-5 words have the most impact
Use hyperlinks by default — faster, works everywhere
Use GIF export for Signal/iMessage — inline images look great
Always use share=yes in hyperlinks — skips landing page
Match emotion to message — excited for celebrations, emphatic for important stuff
Dark mode looks better — dark=true is usually the way to go
Use sparingly — if every message is animated, none are special

Usage Guidance

What to consider before installing: - Function: The skill simply builds shareable animation URLs for a GitHub Pages site and provides a small shell helper. The helper only prints URLs or markdown and does not exfiltrate data. - Runtime requirements: The shell script calls python3 (for URL encoding) but the manifest lists no required binaries. If you plan to run the included script, ensure python3 is available on your agent host. - GIF export behavior: The GIF workflow requires opening a browser tool and reading your Downloads folder to find the generated file. That means the agent will access your browser and local filesystem when you use export features—only enable those capabilities if you trust the site and the agent's browser integration. - Remote content: The animations are hosted at andyed.github.io. The hash fragment (#...) is client-side and not sent to the server, but the query parameter used for export (?export=gif) is sent to the host and triggers rendering/download behavior. Verify you trust https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/ before allowing automated opens/downloads. - Recommendations: If you only need hyperlinks, use the script in its default mode (it only prints URLs). If you use GIF export, run the browser step manually or ensure the agent has explicit permission to open external pages and access downloads. Avoid sending sensitive content through animated links.

Capability Analysis

Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: iblipper Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle is classified as suspicious due to the presence of shell access capabilities, even though they are used for seemingly benign purposes. Specifically, the `SKILL.md` instructs the agent to execute a shell command (`ls -t ~/Downloads/iblipper_*.gif | head -1`) to locate a downloaded GIF, and the `scripts/iblipper.sh` file is a shell script that utilizes `bash` and `python3` for URL encoding. While these actions are plausibly aligned with the stated purpose of generating and managing animated text, the underlying shell access represents a high-risk capability without clear malicious intent, thus warranting a 'suspicious' classification.

Capability Assessment

✓ Purpose & Capability

Name/description, SKILL.md, examples, and the included shell script all consistently build URLs for an external GitHub Pages animation site (https://andyed.github.io/iblipper2025/). The script only outputs URLs or markdown links and does not itself contact external services, which matches the stated purpose.

ℹ Instruction Scope

SKILL.md instructs the agent to open the animation URL in a browser (including a 'browser action=open' example) and to perform a local filesystem command to find downloaded GIFs (ls -t ~/Downloads/iblipper_*.gif). Those actions are reasonable for the GIF export workflow but do require a browser tool and file-system access. The instructions do not request any unrelated secrets or endpoints.

✓ Install Mechanism

No install spec — instruction-only with one helper script included. Nothing is downloaded or executed during an install step, so install risk is low.

⚠ Credentials

The manifest declares no required binaries or config-paths, but the included script invokes python3 for URL-encoding and SKILL.md expects access to ~/Downloads to locate GIFs. Those runtime requirements are not declared, creating a mismatch: the skill implicitly requires python3 and permission to read the user's Downloads directory when exporting GIFs.

✓ Persistence & Privilege

Skill is not always-enabled and requests no persistent privileges or credentials. It does not modify other skills or system settings.
