domain

Agent skill fromcoreyhaines31/makerskills

When you want to brainstorm and check available .com domains for a new project — brand naming, aftermarket pricing (HugeDomains / Afternic / Sedo / Dan), USPTO trademark screening, and social handle availability. Built on Laura Roeder's \"work backwards from availability\" method. Combines Vercel CLI, whois, Domainr, Namecheap, and agent-browser, each for what it reliably does. Workflow: budget → brainstorm → availability check → whois cross-check → price → aftermarket sweep (plus liveness probe and drop-watch) → bucket → negotiate → trademark + socials → buy. Triggers on \"/domain,\" \"find a domain,\" \"check domain availability,\" \"brainstorm a domain,\" \"what .com is available for X,\" \"domain hunt,\" \"name my project,\" \"is X.com available,\" \"aftermarket price on X.com,\" \"trademark check for X.\"

3Multi-tool workflow to find a great, affordable, available .com for a new project. Built on Laura Roeder's rule: **work backwards from what's actually available — don't fall in love with a name first** ([source](https://lauraroeder.com/how-i-nabbed-the-com-for-my-bootstrapped-startup-without-spending-a-million-bucks-6dc35c4606e9)).

5Defaults to `.com` only. Only deviate (.dev, .co, .io, .ai) if the project is dev-tooling-only or the user explicitly asks.

7## Step 0 — Environment checks
8
9Verify these before proceeding (surface install commands if missing, don't try to install silently):
10
11| Tool | Check | Install if missing |
12|---|---|---|
13| Vercel CLI | `vercel whoami` | `npm i -g vercel && vercel login` |
14| whois | `which whois` | `brew install whois` (macOS) |
15| Domainr API key | `[ -n "$DOMAINR_API_KEY" ]` | Get free key at rapidapi.com/domainr/api/domainr, add to `~/.zshenv` |
16| Namecheap API | `[ -n "$NAMECHEAP_API_KEY" ] && [ -n "$NAMECHEAP_API_USER" ] && [ -n "$NAMECHEAP_CLIENT_IP" ]` | Enable API at ap.www.namecheap.com/settings/tools/apiaccess/, add 3 env vars, whitelist your IP |
17
18Domainr + Namecheap are optional — the workflow degrades gracefully without them (skips the corresponding cross-check steps).
19
20## Step 1 — Set the budget
21
22Ask: **what would you pay for a great .com on this project?** Anchor defaults:
23
24| Budget | What it buys |
25|---|---|
26| **$0** | Only unregistered domains (rare for anything good) |
