Query NZ council events and public recreation facilities (pools, leisure centres) for Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Rotorua, Hamilton, Dunedin, and 10 other NZ council areas. Optional --browser mode uses CloakBrowser for public pages that direct HTTP cannot fetch. Not for rates, consents, payments, or bookings.

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 Council

## Goal

Use a small read-only CLI to look up two NZ council public-information domains:

- council-area events and what's-on listings
- council recreation facilities, especially pools, leisure centres, gyms, hours, contact details, pool details, and public lane availability where exposed

This v1 is deliberately narrow. It is not a general council-services skill.

## Use this when

- The user asks what is on in Auckland, Wellington, Christchurch, Rotorua, New Plymouth, Nelson, Tasman, Napier, Hastings, Hamilton, Whangarei, Palmerston North, Tauranga, Queenstown Lakes, Dunedin, or across NZ council areas.
- The user asks for council-listed concerts, markets, exhibitions, kids' activities, festivals, or free events.
- The user asks for public pools, leisure centres, gyms, recreation centres, hours, pool contact details, pool facilities, or pool lane availability.
- You need a quick JSON feed for council-area events or recreation facility listings; use optional `--browser` only when direct public HTTP is blocked by a public-page edge challenge

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/nz-council@sha256:c5d80bc86caf7eb9

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.
