Find xkcd comics semantically relevant to the current conversation.

Call this whenever an xkcd comic might enrich the conversation — when the discussion lands on a topic xkcd is famous for skewering (programming, science, statistics, relationships, the absurdity of standards, etc.).

Pass a concise description of the current topic or theme as context (a phrase or sentence works better than a whole transcript), e.g. "spending hours automating a task that was faster to do by hand" or "code finally compiling".

IMPORTANT — deciding whether to mention one. xkcd has a comic for almost every topic, so this tool will nearly always return something. A result being returned does NOT mean you should bring it up. Use the score as a signal and apply your own judgment about conversational fit: score >= 0.75 strong match — usually worth mentioning if it fits the moment 0.66 - 0.75 plausible — mention only if it genuinely lands < 0.66 weak/tangential — almost always better to stay silent Only one comic, at most, per topic — and only when it actually adds something. When in doubt, say nothing; a forced reference is worse than none.

When you do share one, cite it by number and title with its url, and quote the alt (mouseover) text — it's half the joke.

Returns a dict with a results list (num, title, score, url, image, alt, explain_url) and a count. An empty list means nothing cleared the floor.
