pp-domain-goat
Identify domains worth buying — across RDAP, WHOIS, and Porkbun pricing — without ever leaving the terminal. Trigger phrases: `find me a domain name`, `check if this domain is available`, `is example.io available`, `generate brand name candidates`, `compare these domain options`, `what domains are dropping soon`, `score this domain name`, `5 year cost of this domain`, `use domain-goat`, `run domain-goat`.
Why this skill is useful
Adds executable commands for domain analysis and comparison that streamline workflows and are not available in other tools.
What it needs
Requires domain-goat-pp-cli installed locally. About 8k tokens when loaded. Last updated 2026-08-06. 1,890 stars on the source repository.
What this skill does
Domain Goat — Printing Press CLI Prerequisites: Install the CLI This skill drives the domain-goat-pp-cli binary. You must verify the CLI is installed before invoking any command from this skill. If it is missing, install it first: 1. Install via the Printing Press installer. It defaults binaries to $HOME/.local/bin on macOS/Linux and %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\PrintingPress\bin on Windows: 2. Verify: domain-goat-pp-cli --version 3. Ensure the reported install directory is on $PATH for the agent/runtime that will invoke this skill. If the npx install fails (no Node, offline, etc.), fall back to a direct Go install (requires Go 1.26.6 or newer): If --version reports "command not found" after install, the runtime cannot see the binary directory on $PATH. Do not proceed with skill commands until verification succeeds. When to Use This CLI Reach for domain-goat when you need to identify (not transact) domains worth registering — bulk-checking a name list across many TLDs, generating brandable variants, scoring candidates, watching for drops, comparing 5-year true cost across TLDs, or driving any of those workflows from an agent via MCP. Skip it if you already know which domain you want and just need to buy it — that's a registrar's job. When Not to Use This CLI Do not activate this CLI for requests that require creating, updating, deleting, publishing, commenting, upvoting, inviting, ordering, sending messages, booking, purchasing, or changing remote state. This printed CLI exposes read-only commands for inspection, export, sync, and analysis. Unique Capabilities These capabilities aren't available in any other tool for this API. Local state that compounds shortlist promote — Promote the top-N candidates from a list into a finalist sub-list ranked by combined score, price, and availability. When an agent needs to converge on a buyable shortlist, this collapses 'fetch scores, fetch prices, fetch availability, sort, persist' into one deterministic call. …
