x gddy - GoDaddy Domain Management (AI Optimized)

The x gddy module allows managing your GoDaddy domains via the command line. It's ideal for DNS maintenance and domain querying within AI workflows.

When to Activate

• When checking if a specific domain is available for purchase.
• When listing all domains owned by the GoDaddy account.
• When dynamically updating DNS resolution records (e.g., A records, CNAME).

Core Principles & Rules

• Non-interactive First: Use subcommands directly, avoiding unnecessary UI confirmations.
• Environment Requirements: Requires API Key and Secret. If not configured, AI should guide the user through initialization.
• Configuration Guidance:
  • Direct the user to the GoDaddy Developer portal to get API info.
  • Suggest the user run x gddy init for configuration.

Patterns & Examples

Check Domain Availability

# Check if example.com is available for purchase
x gddy search example.com

List Owned Domains

# List all domains under the account (non-interactive)
x gddy domain ls

Manage DNS Records

# View detailed info for a specific domain
x gddy domain info example.com

# Add an A record for a domain
x gddy domain record add --name "www" --data "1.2.3.4" example.com

Configuration Guide (for AI)

If an API error occurs or configuration is missing, provide this guidance to the user:

Please obtain your API Key and Secret from the GoDaddy Developer portal (https://developer.godaddy.com/keys), then run the following command in your terminal to initialize: x gddy init

Checklist

• Confirm if API credentials are valid.
• Confirm before modifying DNS records or performing purchases.
