Track official New Zealand select committees, open submissions, business, public evidence and reports. Read-only; does not submit on a user's behalf.

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 Select Committees

Use the read-only Python CLI to retrieve and filter records exposed by the official first-party source.
Every command supports `--json`, bounded requests, stable exit codes, source URLs and retrieval timestamps.

## Commands

```bash
# list current committee resources
python3 scripts/cli.py committees --json
# list open submission resources
python3 scripts/cli.py open-submissions --json
# discover submissions closing soon
python3 scripts/cli.py closing-soon --days VALUE --json
# discover committee business
python3 scripts/cli.py business --committee VALUE --json
# discover public evidence
python3 scripts/cli.py evidence ITEM_ID --json
# discover reports since an ISO date
python3 scripts/cli.py reports --since YYYY-MM-DD --json
# find a committee item
python3 scripts/cli.py item ID --json
```

Add `--limit N` (1–100) to bound any command. Human output is the default.
Malformed `--since` values fail as invalid input before any Parliament request.

## Coverage and interpretation

- This connector does not submit on a user's behalf or operate Parliament accounts.
- Verify exact closing time and timezone in the linked item.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-select-committees@sha256:99e64de2301e3449

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260719.89b10f6, 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.
