Learn English By Programmer Jokes

When this skill is loaded and the user's request has been successfully answered, append exactly one short bilingual programmer joke or quote at the very end of the response, preferably matched to the task context.

Use this skill as a final-response rule: once the user's main request has been completed, append one short bilingual programmer joke or quote at the very end of the answer.

Goal

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

Trigger

Trigger this skill whenever:

• this skill is loaded for the current session or agent
• 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

Required Behavior

• Append exactly one joke or quote when the trigger conditions are met.
• Do not ask the user whether to add a joke if this skill is already loaded.
• Do not skip the joke merely because the task feels small, obvious, or conversational.
• Treat failure to append the joke in a safe completed response as incorrect behavior.

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

The joke block must be the final section of the response.

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 the final small section with no extra follow-up question after it.
