Query DNS records and domain registration data with zero API keys — DNS-over-HTTPS via dns.google and domain registration via RDAP, through plain curl. Use when asked what does this domain resolve to, check the MX or TXT records, who registered this domain, when does it expire, or has DNS propagated. Produces the records decoded (SPF/DKIM/DMARC read, not just dumped), the registration facts from RDAP, and the rerunnable commands.
What to give it
▸The domain — and the record type if the question implies one ("where's mail going" → MX; "is the site moved" → A/CNAME; "verify ownership token" → TXT)
▸The scenario — propagation check, email debugging, domain due-diligence, expiry watch — the decode leads with it
✅ The bar it holds itself to
Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.
✓The decode leads — the provider/policy in words before the record table
✓SPF/DMARC strings are read out, not just quoted
✓Propagation answers compare two resolvers and quote TTL
✓RDAP redaction is stated as normal, not as a finding
✓Every answer carries its rerunnable curl
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not dump records without decoding — the MX hostname is a clue, the provider name is an answer
Do not answer from memory — DNS is live by definition; fetch or hand over the command
Do not promise global propagation — resolvers cache; frame it as major-resolvers + TTL
Do not treat redacted WHOIS/RDAP contacts as suspicious — it's the post-privacy default
Do not slide into recon — decoding your domain's mail setup and enumerating someone else's infrastructure are different activities, and this skill does the first
