Discover potential domain registration and trading opportunities by analyzing emerging keyword spikes. Uses DomainKits MCP to assess market liquidity and separate real multi-party signals from single-operator noise. Use when the user asks about trending keywords, domain market trends, emerging keywords, registration hotspots, or domain investment opportunities. Different from trend_hunter (interactive multi-turn).
The domain market is a multi-party ecosystem — investors, end-users, and speculators all participate independently. A real trend shows a natural mix of these participants. Registration spikes are predominantly driven by technology news, major domain sales, and internet industry events.
This skill transforms raw keywords_trends(emerging) data into actionable market intelligence. Core value chain:
Discover trends → Multi-dimensional profiling (market vs junk) → NRDS position analysis → Find domain opportunities
https://api.domainkits.com/v1/mcp)Call keywords_trends(type="emerging") to get keywords with registration volume spikes in the last 7-14 days. The tool returns per-keyword data including registration volume (w3/w4), com_ratio, forsale_pct, might_use_count, top_registrar, and other dimensions needed for Step 2 analysis.
The domain market is a multi-party ecosystem. After registering a domain, a person can only do one of three things with it:
Sell it — list on aftermarket platforms and wait for buyers. This is investor behavior. Their presence shows up in forsale_pct.
Use it (maybe) — point it to infrastructure (Cloudflare, AWS, Vercel). Their presence shows up in might_use_count — but this only indicates the domain was configured beyond default parking, not that it is genuinely in use. It could be a real project or a site farm. Only meaningful when registrar distribution is diverse.
Unknown — the domain sits on default NS, neither listed for sale nor pointed to any infrastructure. The registrant's intent is unclear. This is the remainder after subtracting forsale and might_use from total registrations.
These three states account for every registered domain. Like any financial market, a healthy keyword market requires liquidity — active trading, not just ownership.
forsale_pct is the market's trading volume. If forsale is very low, market participation is low — this is not a healthy market signal. A keyword with high com_ratio, dispersed registrars, and high might_use_count but near-zero forsale has registrations but no market.
Two hard rules:
Two cross-cutting dimensions apply to all three participant types:
com_ratio — the "blue chip ratio." High com_ratio means participants are investing in .com — the most expensive TLD. Low com_ratio means activity is concentrated on cheap TLDs.
top_registrar.pct — the "exchange concentration." Registrars are channels, not identity labels. High concentration (e.g., above 80%) on a single registrar reduces confidence that many independent parties are involved. A real multi-party market almost always shows distributed registrar usage.
The core question for every keyword is: Is this data from "one person" or "a market"?
When analyzing a keyword, check whether each participant type is present. When a type is absent, ask why — the answer tells you what's really happening. When a type overwhelmingly dominates, ask whether that makes sense for a real market or whether it points to a single operator.
junk (single operator or missing participant roles) or healthy (genuine multi-party market)Summarize filtering results concisely:
List healthy keywords with key profile data:
llm — W3: 794 → W4: 979 (↑23%)
com_ratio: 82.6% | forsale: 36.8% | might_use: 63 | top_registrar: Unstoppable Domains 29.7%
Profile: Multi-party participation, .com dominant, mix of investment and usage. Healthy signal.
For each healthy keyword from Step 2, run these searches:
web_search "{keyword} news" — product launches, funding, open-source projects, regulatory changesweb_search "{keyword} domain sold price" — a high-value sale is the strongest catalyst for registration spikesPrioritize the last 3 days. Extend to 10 days if nothing found.
MANDATORY OUTPUT: Catalyst Verification Table
Present the catalyst findings as this table. The Source column must contain a real URL from web_search results. No URL = no entry. Do not substitute with your own knowledge.
| Keyword | Catalyst | Source | Confidence |
|---------|----------|--------|------------|
| molt | OpenClaw/Moltbot AI agent project | [CNBC](https://cnbc.com/...) | CONFIRMED |
| nemo | Nvidia NeMo/NemoClaw, GTC 2026 | [TradingView](https://tradingview.com/...) | CONFIRMED |
| llm | PrivateLLM.com sold $250K + AI momentum | [DomainInvesting](https://...) | CONFIRMED |
Rules:
Only keywords that appear in this table proceed to Step 3.
This step bridges "macro trend" to "micro execution."
For each healthy keyword, call nrds to examine actual registration patterns:
nrds(keyword="<keyword>", position="start", tld="com", no_hyphen="true", sort="reg_date_desc", days_range="0-10")
nrds(keyword="<keyword>", position="end", tld="com", no_hyphen="true", sort="reg_date_desc", days_range="0-10")
Position distribution:
position=start (e.g., llmtools.com, llmagent.ai) → keyword as category anchorposition=end (e.g., myllm.com, bestllm.io) → keyword as modifierPopular combinations: Extract high-frequency combination words from registrations. E.g., llm + agent, llm + chat, llm + tools. These represent the market's view on the keyword's most valuable applications
Registration quality:
period (registration term): 6+ years = serious project, 1 year = speculative trialprefix_tld_count: high = prefix registered across many TLDs = strong recognitionInvestor vs end-user behavior:
llm — NRDS Registration Analysis
position=start: 287 domains (llmtools, llmagent, llmchat, llmcode...)
position=end: 143 domains (myllm, bestllm, openllm, smartllm...)
Popular combos: agent (42), tools (28), chat (23), code (19), hub (15)
Market direction: Heavy llm+agent combinations suggest bullish sentiment on LLM Agent space
Quality: Short domains (<10 chars) largely taken, 10-15 char range still has room
After presenting the trend analysis and NRDS findings, let the user know they can use DomainKits' other tools to explore domain opportunities for any keyword that interests them — such as deleted for recently dropped domains, expired for backorderable domains, aged for domains listed for sale, keyword_intel for deep keyword analysis, or domain_generator for creative name ideas. Let the user choose which keywords and directions to pursue.
