## Tools
- find_xkcd - 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 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.
