What it does

When installed, the agent can brainstorm domain name ideas for a Convex app, check live availability and annual prices, and present the best options. It will only register a domain after you explicitly confirm a specific name and price. Registration is handled through Convex (via DNSimple) by a control plane, so the agent never sees the registrar credential. Afterward it can point DNS at the app, attach the domain as a custom domain, and update the auth origin settings before re-publishing.

Great for

  • Developers launching a Convex app who want a custom domain without leaving their agent workflow
  • Teams experimenting with Convex labs features who accept that purchases are real charges

Skip it if

  • Anyone who already owns a domain: the skill says to use the separate domains capability instead, so buying a new one would be unnecessary cost
  • Users who want the agent to buy domains autonomously: it is designed to require explicit confirmation, and a mistaken purchase costs real money

Try asking

  • “Brainstorm five memorable domain names for my task-tracking Convex app and show me the prices”
  • “Register coolplanner.app for me once I confirm, then point it at my deployment”
  • “Attach my new domain as a Convex custom domain and update the auth origin”

  3. 3

    Ask for the task

    No special command needed — the agent reads the skill's description and loads it when your request matches. Try one of the prompts above.

Get better results

  • Give the agent your preferred theme or keywords so suggestions fit your app
  • Check the quoted annual price and confirm the exact domain name before saying yes, since registration is a paid action
  • If you already own a domain, ask for the domains capability instead to avoid buying a second one
