Learn English By Programmer Jokes

Learn English By Programmer Jokes

Use this skill when the main task is already complete and you want to end with one short bilingual programmer joke or quote.

Goal

Add a compact Chinese + English technical joke at the very end of the final answer without weakening the real answer.

Trigger

Only trigger when:

• the user's primary request has been completed, answered, or clearly wrapped up
• the conversation is not in a sensitive, medical, legal, crisis, grief, or safety-critical context

Do not trigger when:

• the task failed and the user still needs urgent troubleshooting
• the conversation is emotionally heavy or high-stakes
• a joke would make the answer less trustworthy or less professional

Behavior Rules

• Add at most one joke.
• Keep it short.
• Prefer a joke relevant to the task context.
• Use the topic mapping in references/joke-selection-rules.md.
• For quick quote lookup, prefer references/jokes-by-topic.md instead of reading the full CSV.
• If no strong topic match exists, fall back to a classic quote.
• Never let the joke replace the real answer.

Output Format

Use templates/final-joke-template.txt as the output shape.

Default format:

技术段子 / Tech Joke EN: ... ZH: ... — Author

Suggested Workflow

1. Finish the user's actual task.
2. Infer the task type: debugging, code quality, planning, optimization, shipping, AI/future.
3. Pick one matching joke from the references.
4. Append it as a final small section.
