XKCD Explorer Skill

A skill for viewing and exploring XKCD comics randomly and understanding their humor through alt text.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

  • You want to discover random XKCD comics
  • You want to explore a specific XKCD topic
  • You're curious about what makes a comic funny

Available Tools

  • get_random_comic: Get a random XKCD comic with title, image URL, and alt text
  • view_comic: Display a specific XKCD comic image
  • explain_humor: Explain why a comic is funny using its alt text

Guidelines

  1. Always provide context when calling explain_humor - the comic title and number
  2. When viewing comics, view the image first, then explain the humor
  3. XKCD humor often involves:
    • Mathematical and scientific concepts explained simply
    • Computer science jokes
    • Relationships and social awkwardness
    • Pop culture references
    • Wordplay and puns

XKCD Features to Note

  • Numbered comics (e.g., #1234)
  • Regularly updated since 2005
  • Randall Munroe is the creator
  • Sometimes interactive comics or special formats

Trustgrade B

  • passBody integrity

    Whether the stored document is plausibly the kind of file the artifact declares, rather than something fetched by mistake.

  • passType matchnot applicable to this artifact type

    Whether the artifact is really the kind of thing its metadata claims it is.

  • passFreshness

    How long since the source repository was last pushed to.

  • passPrompt injection

    Scans the artifact's own text for instructions aimed at your agent rather than at you.

  • warnLicenseno SPDX license detected

    Whether the source repository declares an SPDX license permissive enough to redistribute.

How the grade is calculated

Each check contributes 0 points when it passes, 1 when it warns, and 2 when it fails. The total maps to a letter:

  • Aevery check passed
  • Bone warning
  • Ctwo warnings
  • Dprompt injection or body integrity failed, or three warnings
  • Fone of those failed, and something else is wrong

These are automated hygiene checks, not a security audit, and not a dependency or vulnerability scan. A grade of A means nothing was flagged — not that the artifact is safe.
