Search and inspect LINZ Data Service public Koordinates catalogue layers, tables, services, licences, tags, and download/view capabilities through no-login JSON endpoints. Use when the task involves Toitū Te Whenua LINZ datasets such as addresses, parcels, imagery, hydrography, roads, property, or geospatial layers. Query keyless primary-parcel and building-outline polygons from the public LINZ ArcGIS mirror. Read-only; no API key needed.

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.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/linz-data-service@sha256:9effa7b3ee6c3507

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261008.73da74c, 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.
