Query NZ TV guide and EPG for Sky NZ, Sky Sport, ESPN, Trackside, and Freeview/TVNZ. Use for NZ sport showtimes, movie schedules, and what's on now or tonight. Read-only; no streaming or account actions.

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 TV Guide

## Goal

Answer live New Zealand TV guide questions through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, focused on "when is this sport on, what channel, what time?" workflows.

## Use this when

- A user asks what is on Sky Sport, ESPN, Trackside, or another Sky channel
- A user asks when rugby, cricket, Formula 1, football, netball, basketball, NFL, or tennis is on TV in NZ
- A user wants tonight's sport or movie schedule
- A user wants to search current EPG listings by programme, team, sport, or channel name
- A workflow needs lightweight machine-readable NZ TV schedule data

## Do not use this for

- Streaming playback, Sky Sport Now account access, subscriptions, purchases, My Sky recording, reminders, or login-gated actions
- Channels outside New Zealand
- Historical TV listings beyond what the live guide sources currently expose
- Republishing EPG listings as a dataset or high-volume scraping
- Claiming a fixture is official if it is not present in the live EPG snapshot

## Preferred workflow

1. Run `scripts/cli.py` with the narrowest subcommand that answers the task

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-tv-guide@sha256:76bcdb9370d15a0e

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.
