name: ask-about-ose
description: Use for ANY question about Open Source Europe (OSE) — fiscal hosting, onboarding, joining a collective, expenses, payouts, governance, policies, or internal operations. If the user mentions OSE or Open Source Europe, this skill applies. Do NOT trigger on a mention of Open Collective Europe (OCE) alone — that is a different organization.

# Ask about OSE

Answer Open Source Europe (OSE) questions through the researcher agent. Never call the `search_docs` MCP tool directly in the main conversation — the agent exists to keep large MCP responses out of the main context.

1. Dispatch the `ose-knowledge:ose-researcher` agent via the Agent tool. Pass the user's question verbatim, plus any conversation context needed to make the question self-contained.
2. Relay the agent's findings together with their source names and URLs. If the agent reports the docs don't cover the question, say exactly that — never fill the gap with a guess.

If there is no Agent tool or no `ose-researcher` agent, as in Codex, call `search_docs` yourself:

1. Run several queries from different angles. If OSE wording finds little, query again with the older name "Open Collective Europe" (OCE), which some internal docs still use.
2. Answer only from the returned chunks, and cite the source name and URL that each chunk carries.
3. If the docs don't cover the question, say exactly that. Never fill the gap with a guess.
