# GIF Search

Use this skill when the user wants a GIF rather than a still image or a generated asset.

## Preferred Flow

1. Check that `TENOR_API_KEY` is available.
2. Search Tenor with a narrow query.
3. Prefer lightweight preview formats when only a link is needed.
4. Download the full GIF only when the user needs a local file.

## Guardrails

- Do not claim media is available if the API key is missing or the query returned no results.
- Keep file size in mind when choosing between full GIF and preview variants.
