## What it does

The skill reads your project description and who it is for, then suggests names. Each option comes with a short note on why it works: length, how easy it is to say, how well it hints at the product.

Availability gets checked across several zones at once — `.com`, `.io`, `.dev`, `.ai`, `.app` and others. When the obvious picks are gone, you get alternatives plus rough pricing: standard domains around $10-15 a year, `.io` and `.ai` around $30-50, taken ones at market price.

The TLD choice is not random either. A developer tool gets `.dev` suggestions, an AI product gets `.ai`. You also get a top pick and a runner-up at the end. Registering the name stays your job, though — the skill only tells you what is free.
