About
gifgrep is a Claude Code skill that searches for GIFs from Tenor and Giphy and downloads them for sending via Telegram, using the gifgrep CLI. It runs a download script that saves the GIF to /media/outbox/, where the relay picks it up and delivers it to Telegram. A developer or bot uses it when a user asks for a reaction GIF, meme, or animated image. It advises using a .gif extension so Telegram sends the file as an animation.
