ActiveTool of OpenAccountants
declared in 1.4.0
Front door for any tax / accounting question once you know what the user wants. `intent` is REQUIRED (e.g. 'taxes', 'VAT return', 'set up a company', 'find deductions', 'classify transactions', 'payroll'); pass a jurisdiction too (ISO 2-letter, e.g. 'MT', 'GB', 'US-CA'). If you don't yet have an intent, call `start_help` first. Returns either a clarification request (if jurisdiction is missing) or a ready-to-execute plan with the list of skills to load. Call this FIRST (after start_help if needed) whenever the user asks for tax help.
