What problem does it solve?
Writing for a New Zealand audience requires more than swapping a few spellings — it demands EN-NZ conventions, culturally appropriate Te Reo Maori phrases, and a warmer, more collaborative tone than Australian or American business English. This Skill ensures emails, proposals, and client communications read as authentically Kiwi rather than generic corporate or mistakenly Australian.
Core Features & Use Cases
- EN-NZ Spelling & Vocabulary: Applies -our/-ise/-re conventions, noun/verb splits (licence/license), and NZ-specific terms like diary, fortnight, and whanau.
- Te Reo Maori Integration: Guides natural use of greetings and sign-offs such as Kia ora, Nga mihi, and Morena, with rules on when to use them and when not to.
- Tone Ladder & Sign-off Ranking: Matches formality to context — from Slack messages to formal letters — with ranked sign-offs (Cheers, Nga mihi, Kind regards) and avoid lists for corporate jargon, forced Kiwi slang, and Australian-isms.
- Use Case: Drafting a quote for a new Auckland client — the Skill produces a warm, direct email with correct spelling, a Kia ora greeting, explicit GST positioning, and a Nga mihi sign-off.
