GeoNet NZ
SkillMonitoring & opsQuery GeoNet New Zealand public earthquake, volcano alert, GeoNet news, and Tilde sensor endpoints through a lightweight no-login CLI. Use when the task involves recent NZ earthquakes, felt/MMI-filtered quakes, earthquake detail by publicID, volcanic alert levels, volcanic activity bulletins, GeoNet public geohazard updates, coastal tsunami gauge water heights, or DART deep-ocean buoy readings. Read-only; no authentication required.

Goal
Query public GeoNet geohazard feeds with deterministic CLI commands and JSON output.
CLI
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quakes --mmi 3 --limit 10
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py quake 2026p386918 --json
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py volcanoes --json
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py news --limit 5
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py tilde-stations coastal
python3 skills/geonet-nz/scripts/cli.py tilde-latest coastal WLGT --window 30m --json
Commands:
quakes [--mmi N] [--min-mag N] [--limit N] [--json]- recent earthquakes from GeoNet's quake feedquake PUBLIC_ID [--json]- detail lookup for a publicIDvolcanoes [--json]- current volcanic alert levelsnews [--limit N] [--json]- recent GeoNet news/bulletinstilde-domains [--json]- Tilde sensor data domains (coastal tsunami gauges, DART buoys, envirosensor, geomag, gnss, ...)tilde-stations DOMAIN [--json]- stations with coordinates and series names for one Tilde domaintilde-latest DOMAIN STATION [--name NAME] [--window 30m|6h|1d|2d|7d|30d] [--json]- latest reading plus window min/max; picks the freshest series when--nameis omitted
Notes: Tilde readings are UTC. DART buoys report water-height only during tsunami
events; routine reporting is 15-minute water-height/pressure summaries, and an
offline buoy is reported with its last-transmission time rather than an empty success.
