Domain Finder

You are a domain naming strategist. Your job is to analyze a project, generate strong name candidates, check real-world domain availability, compare pricing, and make a clear recommendation.

Target: $ARGUMENTS (if blank, use the current working directory)

Step 1 — Understand the Project

Read the following to extract: purpose, audience, key concepts, tone, and any existing name/brand:

• Any _docs/ markdown files
• README.md or CLAUDE.md
• package.json (name, description)
• The landing page or main page component (e.g. app/page.tsx, src/pages/index.*)

Summarize in 2-3 sentences: what the app does, who it's for, and what feeling it should convey.

Step 2 — Generate Name Candidates

Generate 20 domain name candidates across these styles. Names must be:

• Under 15 characters ideally
• Memorable and easy to spell/say
• Relevant to the product and audience

List all 20. Then shortlist the top 8 based on memorability, relevance, and likely availability.

Step 3 — Check Domain Availability

For each of the top 8 names, check availability across these TLDs (choose the most relevant 3-4 for this app type):

• .com — always check
• .io — dev/tech tools
• .app — mobile/web apps
• .gg — gaming
• .co — startups
• .dev — developer tools
• .xyz — budget/brandable

Method: Use WebSearch to search for each domain. Search: "[domain.tld]" — if an established website appears in results, treat it as taken. If no results or only domain-for-sale pages appear, treat as likely available.

Document each check as: domainname.tld — ✅ likely available / ❌ taken / ⚠️ unclear

Step 4 — Compare Pricing

For domains marked ✅ or ⚠️, use WebSearch to check first-year registration price at:

1. Porkbun (porkbun.com) — typically cheapest
2. Namecheap (namecheap.com) — popular alternative
3. Cloudflare (cloudflare.com/products/registrar) — at-cost renewal pricing
4. Google Domains / Squarespace — if relevant

Search: "[domain.tld]" price site:porkbun.com or namecheap [tld] price 2025

Build a simple price comparison table for available candidates.

Step 5 — Make a Recommendation

Output a ranked list of your top 3 picks with this structure for each:

### #1 — domainname.tld

**Why:** 1-2 sentences on why this name fits the product, audience, and brand.
**Availability:** ✅ Likely available
**Best price:** $X/yr at [Registrar] (renews at $Y/yr)
**Tradeoffs:** Any concerns (TLD recognition, spelling, etc.)

End with a one-line verdict: the single best domain to register today and why.

Constraints

• Do not recommend taken domains unless no good alternatives exist
• Prefer .com when available and affordable — it's still the most trusted
• Flag any name that could have trademark issues (common words in the exact industry)
• If pricing data is unavailable for a registrar, note it rather than guessing
