Comedy Style Skill Generator

Mindset

A comedic tradition is a bundle of transferable mechanics — premise construction, escalation, rhythm, rhetorical devices — not a voice to be copied. Extracting the mechanics and writing them as concrete rules produces a skill someone can reuse indefinitely; copying a voice produces one derivative artifact and stops there. If you remember one thing: write down the machine, not the performance.

When to Use

• The user asks to "create a comedy skill for [style]", "make a skill like [comedian/show]", or "turn this comedic tradition into a reusable skill".
• The requested tradition can be named as a genre, movement, show, or performer (living, deceased, or fictional) whose material has a recognisable comic structure to analyse.
• The user wants a complete, standalone SKILL.md file as the deliverable, not a single joke, sketch, or routine.
• The requested tradition is invented or generic (e.g. "a deadpan corporate-memo satirist") — the same analysis-to-instructions process applies regardless of whether the style already exists.

When NOT to Use

• The user wants a piece of comedy written right now (a joke, sketch, routine) rather than a reusable skill that generates such material — write the comedy directly instead of building a skill for it.
• The user's request isn't comedy-related at all.
• The intended output is a skill whose entire body would be an adjective ("just make it funny", "make it absurd") with no underlying mechanics to extract — decline and ask what makes the requested material funny, or point out that this generator needs a comic structure to analyse, not a mood.

Prerequisites

Before starting the analysis, the request MUST name a specific comedic tradition, performer, show, or invented style — not just a target platform, audience, or vague tone — and MUST include enough to analyse (a genre label, an example bit, a format description). If the request is too thin (e.g. just "make something like a podcast"), ask a clarifying question rather than guessing at mechanics that were never described.
