Map New Zealand family support entitlement questions to official IRD, MSD, and WINZ sources without calculating eligibility. Use when the task involves Working for Families, Best Start, FamilyBoost, childcare help, Accommodation Supplement, MSD/WINZ handoffs, or finding the right official checker or programme page. Read-only; no private data collection, applications, or entitlement decisions.

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

# NZ Family Support

Map high-level New Zealand family support questions to the official **IRD**, **MSD**, and
**Work and Income (WINZ)** pages/checkers that should be used next.

This skill is a **source map, not an entitlement calculator**. It does not collect
private details, decide eligibility, estimate payments, or submit applications.

## Use this when

- A user asks what official source covers **Working for Families** or family tax credits
- A user asks about **Best Start**, **FamilyBoost**, childcare help, or early childhood education costs
- A user asks about **Accommodation Supplement** or help with rent/board/housing costs
- A user is already dealing with **MSD/WINZ** and needs the IRD/MSD handoff for family support
- You need to send a user to an official private checker instead of gathering sensitive details in chat

## Do not use this for

- Calculating entitlement amounts, income thresholds, abatement, or payment dates
- Collecting names, IRD numbers, addresses, exact income, custody details, rent, or bank details
- Applying for payments, updating accounts, uploading documents, or contacting agencies

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-family-support@sha256:3b1686d29a9253ad

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.
