nz-libraries from thecolab-ai/.skills is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-libraries@git:20260719.1748a98

Pins git:20260719.1748a98 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Query selected New Zealand public library catalogues, branch locations, hours, book details, and public availability through a lightweight read-only CLI. Use when the task involves finding books in major NZ public library networks or checking which branches currently show copies.

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 Libraries

## Goal

Query live public catalogue and branch data for major New Zealand public library networks through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, without browser automation, login, holds, or account actions.

Catalogue search is the primary feature. Branch locations and hours are wired where the public site exposes a stable no-login page.

## Use this when

- A user asks whether a book is held by Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Hamilton, Dunedin, or Tauranga public libraries
- A user wants public branch-level availability where the catalogue exposes it
- A user wants branch names, addresses, opening hours, contact details, or facilities for supported branch-hour pages
- A workflow needs machine-readable public catalogue results from NZ library networks
- A user needs a fast read-only alternative to manually opening several library catalogues

## Do not use this for

- Holds, reservations, renewals, checkouts, fines, borrower records, saved lists, login, or account actions
- Authenticated catalogue views or patron-specific availability
- High-volume harvesting, dataset redistribution, or bypassing rate limits

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-libraries@sha256:63a683ebe6d434ae

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.
