Query PriceSpy NZ for NZ electronics and appliance price comparison: cheapest prices, merchant offers, price history, and trending products. No login, cart, or account 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

# NZ Pricewatch

## Goal

Query live NZ electronics and appliance price comparison data through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, focused on PriceSpy NZ as the primary source.

## Use this when

- A user asks for the cheapest current NZ electronics or appliance price
- A user wants to compare store prices for a specific PriceSpy product
- A user wants to know whether a model price has moved in the last week or month
- A user asks for a PriceSpy product id, product detail, merchant list, or price spread
- A user wants lightweight machine-readable NZ price comparison data

## Do not use this for

- Buying, checkout, carts, alerts, wishlists, logins, or account actions
- Non-NZ price comparisons
- High-volume scraping or dataset redistribution
- Warranty, finance, delivery-date, or stock guarantees beyond the current public snapshot
- The Warehouse or Bunnings-specific workflows; use those dedicated skills when the user asks for those retailers directly

## Preferred workflow

1. Run `scripts/cli.py cheapest` for lowest current price questions

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-pricewatch@sha256:9f420cd4b89cf774

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.
