Use when Codex needs to discover Citizens Advice Bureau NZ public client-enquiry evidence, CABNET source availability, advice category taxonomy, or report-backed enquiry trend caveats for New Zealand social-need analysis; wraps keyless cab.org.nz and data.govt.nz discovery and reports explicit blocked states when aggregated CABNET counts are not publicly exported.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# CAB CABNET NZ

## Overview

Use this read-only CLI to inspect public Citizens Advice Bureau NZ material
related to CABNET client-enquiry evidence. CAB has not exposed an unauthenticated
structured export of national CABNET enquiry counts; the skill makes that
blocked state explicit instead of inventing data.

The CLI uses only Python 3 standard library modules and keyless public
endpoints on `cab.org.nz` and `catalogue.data.govt.nz`.

## Commands

Run commands from this skill directory with `python3 scripts/cli.py`.
Every command accepts `--json`.

- `sources --query "welfare report" --json` discovers public CAB pages/reports,
  checks data.govt.nz, and confirms unauthenticated CABNET reporting endpoints
  are forbidden.
- `categories --query tenancy --json` returns the public CAB website advice
  taxonomy from `assets/data/categories.json`. This is not a confirmed CABNET
  enquiry taxonomy or enquiry volume table.
- `enquiries --year 2025 [--category benefits] --json` returns an explicit
  `structured_export_unavailable` blocked state because no public machine-readable
  CABNET enquiry-count export is reachable.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/cab-cabnet-nz@sha256:680844663b0d036e

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.1748a98, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
