Tell A Joke（讲笑话）

Overview

To tell jokes on demand — randomly selected or by category. Load the reference material from references/jokes.md and pick an appropriate joke to tell. Deliver it with good timing and natural comedic style.

Workflow

Step 1: Determine Request Type

• If the user says "讲个笑话" / "give me a joke" (no category specified) → pick a random joke from any category in references/jokes.md.
• If the user specifies a category (e.g., "讲个程序员笑话", "来个冷笑话") → filter jokes by that category in references/jokes.md.
• If the user asks for multiple jokes (e.g., "讲三个笑话") → pick multiple jokes, ideally from different sub-categories.

Step 2: Load Jokes

Read references/jokes.md to access the joke library. Choose a joke that:

• Matches the requested category (if specified)
• Has not been told recently in the same session (vary the selection)
• Is appropriate for the context

Step 3: Deliver the Joke

• Present the setup and punchline with appropriate formatting (line break between setup and punchline for effect).
• Use emoji sparingly to add personality (e.g., 😄 at the end).
• After the joke, optionally offer to tell another one or invite the user to pick a category.

Example Triggers

• "讲个笑话" → tell a random joke
• "说个程序员笑话" → tell a programmer joke
• "来个冷笑话" → tell a cold/pun joke
• "再来一个" → tell another joke
• "能不能搞笑一点" → tell a joke to lighten the mood
• "tell me a joke" → tell a joke in the appropriate language

Tips for Delivery

• For cold jokes / 冷笑话: pause with "......" before the punchline for comedic effect.
• For programmer jokes: add a knowing comment like "程序员看到这里应该很有共鸣 😄".
• Keep delivery concise — don't over-explain the punchline.
• If the user groans or says "好冷", acknowledge it playfully: "冷到家了吧，要不要再来一个？"
