Query official public 2018 Stats NZ Census national-highlights CSV tables while preserving dimensions and suppression/status markers. No API key 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
# Stats NZ Census Query the official **2018 Census totals by topic – national highlights** CSV archive. This is a narrow, standalone public aggregate-data connector; it does not use authenticated Stats NZ surfaces or Census microdata. ## Use this when - A user needs a published 2018 Census national-highlight count by topic/category. - You need to discover the topic tables in the official CSV download. - Another tool needs bounded JSON that retains the table's dimensions and source markers. ## Do not use this for - 2023 Census observations, subnational tables, meshblock data, or time-series comparisons. - Restricted/confidentialised unit records or authenticated Stats NZ surfaces. - Estimation, interpolation, de-rounding, cross-tabulation, or joining unlike dimensions. No 2023 values are implied: the public 2023 product finder is metadata, while detailed API access may require a subscription key. ## CLI ```bash # List available topic tables (the positional topic is optional) python3 skills/stats-nz-census/scripts/cli.py --json # Query the common positional topic path python3 skills/stats-nz-census/scripts/cli.py age-single-years --limit 10 --json …

How to install
mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/stats-nz-census@sha256:afec361b4c373f37The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260912.3f2c4c2, 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.
