Domain Hunter Example: Finding a Domain for Auto Video Editing Project

This is a complete conversation example showing how the domain-hunter skill helps users find and purchase domain names at the best price.

Conversation

User

I am working on an auto video editing project. I need to buy a new domain. Please find one for me.

Assistant

I'll help you find a domain for your auto video editing project. Let me generate some creative domain name suggestions and check their availability.

Checking domain availability via WHOIS:

for domain in "autoedit.io" "clipcraft.io" "videoedit.ai" "cutflow.io" "autocuts.io" "editsnap.io" "vidflow.ai" "clipflow.io" "autoclipper.io" "smartcut.io"; do
  echo "Checking $domain..."
  result=$(whois "$domain" 2>/dev/null | grep -i "no match\|not found\|available\|no data found\|no entries found" | head -1)
  if [ -n "$result" ]; then
    echo "  -> LIKELY AVAILABLE"
  else
    echo "  -> LIKELY TAKEN"
  fi
done

Results - First Batch:

Checking autoedit.io...   -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking clipcraft.io...  -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking videoedit.ai...  -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking cutflow.io...    -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking autocuts.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking editsnap.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking vidflow.ai...    -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking clipflow.io...   -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking autoclipper.io...-> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking smartcut.io...   -> LIKELY TAKEN

Results - Second Batch:

Checking autovidz.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking clipauto.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking videotrim.ai...  -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking cliphero.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking quickclip.io...  -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking autosnip.io...   -> LIKELY AVAILABLE
Checking vidauto.io...    -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking clipmagic.io...  -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking autorender.io... -> LIKELY TAKEN
Checking editbot.io...    -> LIKELY AVAILABLE

Here are the available domain suggestions for your auto video editing project:

Available Domains

Domain Notes
cutflow.io Short, memorable - "cut" + "flow" for editing workflow
autocuts.io Direct - auto video cuts
editsnap.io Quick, snappy editing
autoclipper.io Descriptive - auto video clipping
autovidz.io Casual/trendy - auto videos
clipauto.io Simple - clip automation
videotrim.ai .ai TLD - video trimming
cliphero.io Brandable - hero for clips
autosnip.io Short clips/snips
editbot.io Bot/AI angle for editing

My top picks:

  1. cutflow.io - Short (7 chars), professional, memorable
  2. autocuts.io - Clear purpose, good branding
  3. videotrim.ai - .ai TLD fits AI/auto theme well

Which domain(s) would you like me to check prices for? Once you pick your favorites, I'll compare prices across registrars and look for promo codes.

User

cutflow.io looks good, I need to know where can I get the cheapest price to buy it? Also, is there any promo code?

Activating Twitter skill and Reddit skill to search for promo codes...

Step 1: Web Search for Price Comparison

Fetched data from https://tld-list.com/tld/io showing current .io domain prices:

Final Recommendation

Domain: cutflow.io

Price Comparison

Registrar Year 1 Renewal Notes
Spaceship $14.98 $46.58 Use promo code IO85 (85% off, limit 1)
Sav $14.99 $38.95 No promo needed
Dynadot $28.89 $47.70 No .io promo found
Regery $28.99 $47.99 -
Namecheap $34.98 $57.98 40% off first year
Hostinger $31.99 $67.99 -

Best Deal

Winner: Spaceship at $14.98/year (with promo code IO85)

  • Promo Code: IO85 (85% off .io registration, limit 1 per customer)
  • Free Features: DNS, Email Forwarding, WHOIS Privacy
  • Renewal: $46.58/year (industry standard for .io)

Purchase Link: https://www.spaceship.com/

Alternative if renewal matters

Sav.com at $14.99/year with the cheapest renewal at $38.95/year - best 3-year value if you plan to keep the domain long-term.

Note: .io domains have high wholesale costs (~$45), so the first-year promos are significant discounts. Renewal prices are similar across registrars.

Key Takeaways

  1. WHOIS checks are used to verify domain availability before presenting options
  2. Price comparison from tld-list.com provides up-to-date registrar pricing
  3. Twitter skill searches registrar accounts (@spaceship, @Dynadot, @Namecheap) for promo codes
  4. Reddit skill searches r/Domains community for user-shared deals
  5. Final recommendation includes best price, promo code, and purchase link

Domain Hunter Skill

Help users find and purchase domain names at the best price.

Workflow

Step 1: Generate Domain Ideas & Check Availability

Based on the user's project description, generate 5-10 creative domain name suggestions.

Guidelines:

  • Keep names short (under 15 characters)
  • Make them memorable and brandable
  • Consider: {action}{noun}, {noun}{suffix}, {prefix}{keyword}
  • Common suffixes: app, io, hq, ly, ify, now, hub

CRITICAL: Always check availability before presenting domains to user!

Use one of these methods to verify availability:

Method 1: WHOIS check (most reliable)

# Check if domain is available via whois
whois {domain}.{tld} 2>/dev/null | grep -i "no match\|not found\|available\|no data found" && echo "AVAILABLE" || echo "TAKEN"

Method 2: Registrar search page Open the registrar's domain search in browser to verify:

open "https://www.spaceship.com/domains/?search={domain}.{tld}"

Method 3: Bulk check via Namecheap/Dynadot

IMPORTANT:

  • Only present domains that are confirmed AVAILABLE
  • Mark any uncertain domains with "(unverified)"
  • Present suggestions to user and wait for confirmation before proceeding
  • Ask user to pick their preferred options or provide feedback
  • Only move to Step 2 after user approves domain name(s)

Step 2: Compare Prices

Use WebSearch to find current prices:

WebSearch: "cheapest .{tld} domain registrar 2026 site:tld-list.com"
WebSearch: ".{tld} domain price comparison tldes.com"

Key price comparison sites:

  • tld-list.com/tld/{tld}
  • tldes.com/{tld}
  • domaintyper.com/{tld}-domain

Step 3: Find Promo Codes

Use Twitter skill to search registrar accounts:

cd <twitter_skill_directory>
python3 scripts/search_tweets.py "from:{registrar} promo code" --type Latest --limit 15
python3 scripts/search_tweets.py "{registrar} promo code coupon" --type Latest --limit 15

Use Reddit skill to search domain communities:

cd <reddit_skill_directory>
python3 scripts/search_posts.py "{registrar} promo code" --limit 15
python3 scripts/search_posts.py "{registrar} coupon discount" --subreddit Domains --limit 10

Major registrar Twitter handles:

  • @spaceship, @Dynadot, @Namecheap, @Porkbun, @namesilo, @Cloudflare

Step 4: Recommend

Present final recommendation in this format:

## Recommendation

**Domain:** example.ai
**Best Registrar:** Spaceship
**Price:** $68.98/year (2-year minimum = $137.96)
**Promo Code:** None available for .ai
**Purchase Link:** https://www.spaceship.com/

### Price Comparison
| Registrar | Year 1 | Renewal | 2-Year Total |
|-----------|--------|---------|--------------|
| Spaceship | $68.98 | $68.98  | $137.96      |
| Cloudflare| $70.00 | $70.00  | $140.00      |
| Porkbun   | $71.40 | $72.40  | $143.80      |

Important Notes

  1. Premium TLDs (.ai, .io) rarely have promo codes - wholesale costs are too high
  2. .ai domains require 2-year minimum registration
  3. Cloudflare offers at-cost pricing with no markup
  4. Renewal prices often differ from registration - always check both
  5. WHOIS privacy is free at most registrars (Cloudflare, Namecheap, Porkbun)
