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

business-name-check scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 10d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 116 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clear a brand name before it goes onto a domain, a storefront, a logo, and a legal filing. The whole skill rests on one rule: a name is only "available" where you checked it, with evidence you can show. RDAP and register APIs answer definitively; a social platform behind a login wall does not. Report what you verified, name what you could not, and never round an unchecked surface up to "free".

A brand name is not cleared surface by surface in isolation. It is cleared as a set: the domain, the handle used identically everywhere, and the absence of a competitor already trading under it. One taken handle can sink a name that is otherwise free.

You investigate and report. You do not register, purchase, file, or reserve anything, and you do not give legal advice.

Step 1: Frame the check

Work out five things before searching. Ask only what you cannot infer from what the user already told you.

  1. The candidates. Push for three to five. The first choice is usually gone on at least one major platform, and a check with no fallback wastes the sweep.
  2. What the business does. The category decides which competitors count and which trademark classes matter. "Coffee roaster" and "developer tooling company" collide with completely different names.
  3. Where it operates. The country of incorporation drives the company register, and the trading markets drive which ccTLDs, which language checks, and which local registers matter. A name free in the US and taken by a household brand in Germany is a problem if Germany is a market.
  4. How it reaches customers. Online store, marketplace seller, physical location, app, newsletter, services. This selects the commerce and listing surfaces in step 2.
  5. How much the name has to carry. A side project selling to fifty people does not need a register sweep. Anything that will take payments, run ads, or raise money does.

State the resolved framing back in one or two lines before spending searches on it.

Step 2: Pick the surfaces

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
