What it does
Domain Research is an agent skill from OpenClaudia/openclaudia-skills. Research domain WHOIS data and check marketplace listings. Use when the user says "domain lookup", "check domain", "WHOIS", "domain availability", "buy domain", "domain research", "who owns this domain", "domain marketplace", or asks about researching or acquiring a domain name.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Sales & Support, covering E-commerce operations and Link building. The repository describes itself as: 77 open-source marketing skills for Claude Code, Codex, and other AI coding agents. SEO, content, email, ads, analytics, and growth. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user says domain lookup
- Domain availability
- Domain research
- Who owns this domain
Example prompts
- “domain lookup”
- “check domain”
- “domain availability”
- “/domain-research”
Requirements
- A credential in SEMRUSH_API_KEY
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 28bf209. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curljq
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
mcp.domaindetails.comapi.domaindetails.comapi.semrush.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SEMRUSH_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Domain Research loads about 1.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 74 tokens; SKILL.md has 415 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Research Workflow
Step 1: Check Availability
# Quick WHOIS check
curl -s "https://mcp.domaindetails.com/lookup/{domain}" | jq '.available // .registrar'Step 2: Check Marketplace Listings
curl -s "https://api.domaindetails.com/api/marketplace/search?domain={domain}" | jqStep 3: Check Domain History
Use WebFetch to check:
web.archive.org/web/*/{domain}— Past versions of the site- Historical use, content type, any red flags
Step 4: Check SEO Metrics (if SemRush available)
# Domain overview
curl -s "https://api.semrush.com/?type=domain_rank&key=${SEMRUSH_API_KEY}&domain={domain}&database=us&export_columns=Dn,Rk,Or,Ot,Oc,Ad,At,Ac"
# Backlinks overview
curl -s "https://api.semrush.com/?type=backlinks_overview&key=${SEMRUSH_API_KEY}&target={domain}&export_columns=total,domains_num,urls_num,ips_num,follows_num,nofollows_num"Step 5: Generate Alternatives
If the desired domain is taken, suggest alternatives:

## Recommendation
{Buy/Pass/Negotiate — with reasoning}Important Notes
- WHOIS data is increasingly privacy-protected. Limited registrant info is normal.
- Domain marketplace prices are often negotiable. Listed price is usually the starting point.
- Always check domain history on the Wayback Machine before purchasing. Spam/adult history can carry Google penalties.
- Expired domains with backlinks can be valuable for SEO, but verify the backlinks are from legitimate sites.
- .com is still king for brand trust, but .io (tech), .ai (AI), and .co (startups) are increasingly accepted.
