domain-check

domain-check is a skill for Claude Code from allemaar/open-skills. It costs 144 tokens per session (2,591 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A domain-name availability reconciliation policy that decides which evidence to trust when registrar, RDAP, DNS, or broker information conflicts. RDAP is a protocol for querying domain-registration records, and DNS maps names to internet addresses.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to combine domain-registration and DNS checks, detect aftermarket or broker-parked domains, and document the final availability decision.
Why use it?
It prevents a domain from being marked available merely because one lookup source is misleading, such as when a broker controls a registered name.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

domain-check scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 213 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/domain-check

Availability tools disagree, and the one most people reach for is the one most likely to be wrong. This skill is a reconciliation policy, not another lookup client. It says which source wins when two sources conflict, what a negative result does and does not prove, and what the handler still does not know when the verdict lands.

The house rule is wrap, don't build. Keyless servers already implement lookup with sensible fallbacks — saidutt46/domain-check and stucchi/domain-check-mcp both do RDAP with a WHOIS fallback, and Brave Labs' domain-checker-mcp ships a DNS-then-RDAP hybrid. Use one of those, or plain curl and nslookup. What none of them handle is aftermarket detection and a documented precedence order. That gap is this skill.

Structured execution spec: protocol.yon. Read it for the canonical rules and step sequence; this file is explanation. The two must stay in sync — if you edit one, update the other and refresh the @STAMP date.

Why this exists

A GoDaddy-backed availability tool reported available: true for seven domains: hexis.com, shim.com, mortise.com, limen.com, vinculum.com, honeyourcraft.com and poweryouragent.com. Every one was registered and parked on a broker nameserver — afternic.com, namefind.com, or domainmarket.com.

The failure was confirmed independently. A request to https://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1/domain/hexis.com returns HTTP 200, meaning registered. A genuinely unregistered domain and a random control both return 404. So RDAP was right, DNS was right, and the registrar layer was the unreliable one.

A hypothesis, not a diagnosis. GoDaddy's availability endpoint takes a checkType parameter of FAST (the default) or FULL, documented as "Optimize for time (FAST) or accuracy (FULL)". It also returns a definitive boolean meaning the answer was verified against the registry. A tool sitting on the default fast path would plausibly produce exactly these false positives. That fits the evidence. It has not been confirmed against a live trace, and this skill does not assert it as the cause.
