Domain Research
Find domains worth buying: available, affordable to keep, memorable, low-noise in search, and aimed at real demand. This is founder-speed naming diligence, not a creativity exercise. A beautiful name that is taken, noisy or expensive to renew loses.
scripts/… and references/… paths are inside this skill's folder (in saas-starter: .agents/skills/domain-research/); every other path is in the project. The scripts need only python3. Keep working files such as candidate lists and JSON results in a folder that isn't committed (in saas-starter: .cache/domain-research/).
Evidence sources
Check what this session has before starting, and report which source answered each question.
| Question | Best | Fallback | Last resort |
|---|---|---|---|
| Can it be registered, and what does it cost to keep? | scripts/check_domains.py with CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN and CLOUDFLARE_ACCOUNT_ID |
A connected Cloudflare API MCP, same endpoint | scripts/check_domains.py --rdap: free, no price, and "unregistered" is not a yes |
| Does someone already own the name in search? | A browser tool reading real Google results | scripts/check_search_signal.py with SERPAPI_KEY or SERPER_API_KEY |
Ask the human to run the searches; mark the name unverified |
| Does anyone search for the problem? | People also ask and related searches on category queries | Google Trends, Keyword Planner | Say that demand is unmeasured |
Setup and caveats: cloudflare-mcp.md, search-signal-playbook.md.
