Query GeoNet New Zealand public earthquake, volcano alert, GeoNet news, and Tilde sensor endpoints through a lightweight no-login CLI. Use when the task involves recent NZ earthquakes, felt/MMI-filtered quakes, earthquake detail by publicID, volcanic alert levels, volcanic activity bulletins, GeoNet public geohazard updates, coastal tsunami gauge water heights, or DART deep-ocean buoy readings. Read-only; no authentication required.

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

# GeoNet NZ

## Goal

Query public GeoNet geohazard feeds with deterministic CLI commands and JSON output.

## CLI

```bash
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quakes --mmi 3 --limit 10
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quake 2026p386918 --json
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py volcanoes --json
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py news --limit 5
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py tilde-stations coastal
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py tilde-latest coastal WLGT --window 30m --json
```

Commands:

- `quakes [--mmi N] [--min-mag N] [--limit N] [--json]` - recent earthquakes from GeoNet's quake feed
- `quake PUBLIC_ID [--json]` - detail lookup for a publicID
- `volcanoes [--json]` - current volcanic alert levels
- `news [--limit N] [--json]` - recent GeoNet news/bulletins
- `tilde-domains [--json]` - Tilde sensor data domains (coastal tsunami gauges, DART buoys, envirosensor, geomag, gnss, ...)
- `tilde-stations DOMAIN [--json]` - stations with coordinates and series names for one Tilde domain

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/geonet-nz@sha256:fae58f520bc0dc91

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260722.1856496, 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.
