From the project READMEComedy Writers Room
Write jokes using subagents as a simulated audience. One agent writes, three agents react as different personas, then iterate based on their feedback.
Process
Step 1: Dispatch the writer
Read writer-prompt.md and use that template to dispatch a subagent.
- Replace
[TOPIC]with the user's topic - For first draft, omit the revision section
Step 2: Dispatch all 3 audience members in series
Read each audience template and dispatch them one at a time:
audience-enthusiast-prompt.mdaudience-skeptic-prompt.mdaudience-overthinker-prompt.md
Replace [JOKES] with the jokes from the writer.
Step 3: Synthesize feedback
Read what each persona said. What landed? What fell flat? What confused people?
Step 4: Dispatch writer again with feedback
Use writer-prompt.md again, this time:
- Include the revision section
- Replace
[FEEDBACK]with the synthesized audience reactions
Step 5: Repeat steps 2-4 until the jokes land
Stop when the personas are reacting well.
TESTING: Limit to 1 round of feedback for now.
Step 6: Present final material to user
Include a brief summary of how it evolved - what got cut, what emerged from iteration.
Critical Rules
- Always use Task tool - Never shell out to
claudeCLI - Dispatch audience in series - One at a time, so each reaction is visible
- Include feedback in revisions - The writer needs to know what to fix
