Domain Availability Check
Batch-check domain availability via whois.com with anti-bot/CAPTCHA assist.
Quick Start
# Setup (first time)
cd $SKILL_DIR && npm run setup
# Check domains from command line
node run.js scripts/domain-check.js --domains "example.ai,myapp.io" --nslookup
# Check domains from file
node run.js scripts/domain-check.js --file domains.txt --out results.json --nslookup
File format: one domain per line, # for comments. See examples/domains.txt.

Behavior
- Opens visible browser (
headless=false) for CAPTCHA handling. - On Security Check / CAPTCHA: brings browser to front, waits for manual completion.
- Classification rules:
Looks like this domain has not been registered yet-> availableDomain Information/Registrar Information-> registered- WHOIS patterns like
No match for,Domain not found-> available
--nslookup: NXDOMAIN suggests unregistered DNS (corroboration only).
Output
JSON array with domain, status (available|registered|unknown|error), nslookup.
Tips
- Use
--user-data-dir ./profileto reduce repeated CAPTCHA challenges. - Run sequentially to minimize anti-bot triggers.
