IsDomainOK Domain Naming

Use this skill to turn naming work from brainstorming into a verified shortlist.

Core rule

Do not recommend a name as a strong final candidate until its relevant domains have been checked.

The language model should do the creative work. IsDomainOK should do the factual domain work. Do not add a separate LLM API call inside the workflow.

Preferred workflow

1. Understand the naming brief:
   • what is being named;
   • desired language and tone;
   • length constraints;
   • important keywords or concepts;
   • forbidden words or styles;
   • preferred TLDs;
   • registration budget if any.
2. Generate a broad candidate pool, normally 20 to 50 distinct names.
3. Remove obvious duplicates, spelling traps, confusing pronunciations, and names that violate the brief.
4. Send the remaining names to IsDomainOK in one batch.
5. Prefer screen_names when the MCP server is available.
6. Keep the raw availability sources separate. Do not hide a conflict result.
7. Rank the surviving names using both creative quality and domain evidence.
8. Present a compact shortlist with factual domain status and price information.

MCP tools

When IsDomainOK MCP is connected, prefer these tools:

• about_isdomainok — confirm capabilities and whether GoDaddy credentials are configured without exposing the token.
• check_domain — inspect one exact domain.
• check_name — inspect one base name across several TLDs.
• screen_names — batch-filter generated names and return the best domain candidates.

For naming tasks, screen_names is usually the best first tool after brainstorming.

Example intent:

• names: 30 generated brand names
• tlds: com, ai, io
• max_registration_price: user budget when supplied
• currency: currency requested by the user
• allow_possible: false by default

CLI fallback

If MCP is unavailable, use the CLI:

isdomainok nameone nametwo namethree --tlds com ai io --json

If a GoDaddy token is configured, normal checks can include registrar availability and indicative registration/renewal prices automatically.
