Map and brief official New Zealand AI policy guidance — public-service AI framework, responsible GenAI guidance, procurement, privacy, algorithm governance, AI strategy, and source-backed agency checklists. Use when the task involves NZ public-sector AI policy citations, compliance review, proposal evidence, AI governance questions, or agency GenAI policy drafting.

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 AI Policy

## Goal

Provide a deterministic source-map, search helper, briefing generator, and checklist for official New Zealand public-sector AI policy and guidance material.

The skill is citation-first: it points to official sources, records fetched/access timestamps, and distinguishes guidance, templates, strategy context, regulator guidance, OIA releases, and algorithm-governance material.

## Use this when

- A user needs official NZ public-sector AI policy or guidance citations
- A proposal, review, or briefing asks for public-service AI governance, procurement, privacy, transparency, accountability, fairness, or records-management sources
- An agency wants a source-backed checklist for a generative-AI use policy
- A workflow needs a concise briefing on public-sector AI, AI procurement, privacy, or the Algorithm Charter
- Another agent needs JSON output listing official source URLs and source metadata

## Do not use this for

- Legal advice or a final compliance sign-off
- Private, unpublished, privileged, or authenticated policy material
- Claiming guidance is binding law unless the cited source says so

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-ai-policy@sha256:d0927c36a48c36c1

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.
