What it does

Domains is an agent skill from vercel/vercel-plugin, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Search, register, connect, transfer, and renew domain names on Vercel using the CLI or Domains Registrar API. Use for domain availability and pricing, custom domains, DNS records, nameservers, ownership verification, and domain orders.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file.

It works with Vercel. The repository describes itself as: Comprehensive Vercel ecosystem plugin — relational knowledge graph, skills for every major product, specialized agents, and Vercel conventions. Turns any AI agent into a Vercel…

When your agent uses it

  • Domain availability and pricing
  • Ownership verification

Example prompts

  • “/domains”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 82fa491. 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:

    • vercel
    • curl

    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:

    • api.vercel.com

    Also links to:

    • openapi.vercel.sh
    • vercel.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Domains loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 916 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~61
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 916 words (~2,229 tokens).

“Use the public Registrar API for unauthenticated discovery. Use the installed Vercel CLI for account and project operations, or the REST API for structured automation. vc and vercel are equivalent.”
