Name.com DNS via the namecom CLI

Overview

Core principle: never click around the Name.com web dashboard to manage DNS — its form is automation-hostile and silently drops programmatic submits. Use the namecom CLI, which talks to the v4 REST API directly. Prefer records set (idempotent upsert) over records create so re-runs never produce duplicate records.

Setup

This skill drives the namecom CLI. It works with zero install via npx — prefer npx namecom-cli <args> if the namecom binary isn't already on PATH:

npx namecom-cli --help          # zero-install, runs the latest published CLI
# or install once for a faster `namecom` on PATH:
npm install -g namecom-cli

Throughout this skill, namecom <args> and npx namecom-cli <args> are interchangeable — use the latter if the binary isn't installed.
