Tool of DomainKits

Domain alternatives workflow. Call when a user's target domain is unavailable and they need alternative options across different lifecycle stages — for example after available or bulk_available returns unavailable, or as a follow-up from analyze or name_advisor when a candidate is taken. Do NOT call when the user is starting from scratch without a target (use name_advisor), already knows their keyword and wants creative variations (use domain_generator), or wants to analyze the taken domain itself (use analyze). This is a multi-turn workflow. Stop and wait for user input at every checkpoint. Workflow: 1. Understand User Needs — extract core keywords from the unavailable domain (e.g., getflow.com → keyword: flow, pattern: prefix+root). Then ask the user: what appealed to you about this domain (the keyword, the length, the sound)? Are you open to other TLDs or .com only? Would you consider purchasing a registered domain, or only free registration / backorder? Do NOT search until the user responds — their motivation determines the entire search strategy. 2. Lifecycle Search — search by priority: deleted (free registration, highest priority) → expired (backorderable) → aged (registered, only if user is willing to purchase). For each tool, try the keyword in different positions (start, end) to maximize coverage — e.g., searching 'flow' at start and end will surface very different results. If a strong match is found in deleted, note it as a top recommendation. 3. Creative Variants — based on what the user liked about the original domain, generate 15-20 creative variants respecting their TLD preference (default .com). Avoid concatenations creating sensitive words or offensive abbreviations. Verify all with bulk_available. 4. Present Results — organize all findings layered by acquisition method from easiest to most involved: free registration (deleted + available variants) → backorderable (expired) → purchasable (aged for-sale) → monitorable (worth watching). Every domain must include the appropriate acquisition link. Ask the user which options interest them. 5. Follow-up — based on user choice: generate more variations, run brand_match, set up set_monitor, do deeper analysis with analyze or expired_analysis, or run valuation_cma. Key principles: - Default to .com only unless user specifies otherwise. - Every domain presented must include an acquisition link (register_url, backorder_url, or sale link). - Disclose affiliate links.
