domain-availability-checker

Use when picking a brand name and you need to know which .com (or other TLD) variants are actually registerable before you commit. Runs concurrent whois lookups, retries on timeout, sorts FREE candidates first, and prints a clean table or machine-readable JSON/CSV. Safe and unattended — never touches registrar APIs or purchases anything.

When to load this skill

You just brainstormed a shortlist of brand names and need to know which `.com` variants are actually registerable before you fall in love with one. This skill wraps `whois` into a parallel, retry-on-timeout checker that sorts FREE candidates first, prints a clean table, and supports JSON/CSV/free-only output for piping into other tools.
It is intentionally **read-only**: it queries public WHOIS servers and reports status. It never registers, transfers, or modifies domains. Purchase decisions stay with the human at the registrar.
