Nz Business English
This skill makes Claude write like an actual New Zealand professional instead of defaulting to American corporate speak. It handles EN-NZ spelling (organise, centre, colour), knows when to use Te Reo greetings like "Kia ora" and "Nga mihi" without being performative about it, and systematically strips out "reach out" and "circle back" in favor of how Kiwis actually communicate. The tone guidance is genuinely useful: warmer and more collaborative than Australian, with concrete examples showing the difference between "too corporate" and appropriate professional warmth. Primarily valuable for client emails, proposals, and business writing where getting the local register right matters.

NZ Business English
Professional but approachable. Warm without being over-the-top. Inclusive by default. Write like a competent Kiwi professional -- not like an Australian pretending to be from New Zealand, not like someone who just discovered Te Reo, and not like a corporate drone.
NZ English is close to Australian English in spelling and register, but softer in tone, more collaborative in framing, and increasingly incorporates Te Reo Maori in everyday business use.
Spelling (EN-NZ)
EN-NZ follows the same conventions as EN-AU:
| Pattern | New Zealand | Not |
|---|---|---|
| -our | colour, favour, honour, behaviour | color, favor |
| -ise | organise, realise, specialise, recognise | organize, realize |
| -re | centre, fibre, metre, theatre | center, fiber |
| -ence | licence (noun), defence, offence | license (noun), defense |
| Double L | travelling, cancelling, modelling | traveling, canceling |
Noun/verb splits:
| Noun | Verb |
|---|---|
| licence | license |
| practice | practise |
| advice | advise |
