# Get Director Details

**Current and historical officers of one known company.**

## When to use

- "Who are the directors of Tesla Limited?"
- "Who's on the board of company 03058989?"
- "List all current officers of Acme."
- "Did John Smith resign from Acme last year?"

## When NOT to use

- User gave only a name → run `find-company` first to get company_id, then this skill
- User wants ownership → `get-shareholder-details`
- User wants the underlying officer-change filing as a document → `get-filings({ category: 'officers' })` then fetch

## Example

```
Who runs Tesla Limited (GB 03058989)? Include resigned directors.
```

## Workflow

```text
1. If user only gave a name, run find-company first to capture company_id.

2. get_officers({ jurisdiction, company_id, include_resigned: <bool> })
     - include_resigned defaults to true; pass false when user asks "current only"
     - pass group_by_person: true (CZ only) to dedupe multi-role appointments

3. REPORT (newest appointment first):
     - One row per officer: name | role | appointed_on | resigned_on | is_active
     - Role labels stay in the registry's native language (Styremedlem, Président,
       Předseda představenstva, PREZES ZARZĄDU). Do not translate unless asked.
     - Cite officer_id verbatim on each row.
```

## Edge cases

- **GDPR masking**: some EU jurisdictions mask DoB / nationality / address — surface honestly, do not infer.
- **Corporate officers**: keyed by the corporate's own company_id, not a personal officer_id.
- **501**: not all jurisdictions publish officer rosters publicly. Report the gap, don't substitute.
- **Stable IDs vary**: some registries use synthetic per-record indices; do not assume officer_id is the same across two companies.
