Query official Stats NZ data: CPI, GDP, population estimates/projections, migration, place-summary travel to work, and CSV catalogue. No API key or browser session 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

## Goal

Query official New Zealand statistics through a small deterministic CLI with human-readable and JSON output, without browser automation, login, API keys, or local cache state.

This skill ships support for:

- Consumers price index quarterly index numbers
- National estimated population and national population projections
- Regional council estimated resident population from Stats NZ place summaries
- Main means of travel to work from one Stats NZ place summary
- International long-term migrant arrivals, departures, and net migration
- Quarterly GDP production and expenditure headline series
- Exact series lookup for the wired CPI and GDP CSV releases
- Search over the Stats NZ large-datasets CSV catalogue

## Use this when

- A user asks for official New Zealand CPI, GDP, population, migration, or place-summary travel-to-work figures
- A user needs recent Stats NZ release values in a repeatable command-line workflow
- A user wants a Stats NZ CSV dataset URL or to search the public CSV catalogue
- A workflow needs public, no-login, machine-readable Stats NZ data
- Another tool or agent needs JSON output from official New Zealand statistics

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add thecolab-ai/.skills/stats-nz@sha256:a378f00e5fa7d434

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261011.58c9e1f, 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.
