What This Skill Does

The Gandi domain registrar skill is a robust toolkit designed for OpenClaw users to manage their domain lifecycle, DNS infrastructure, and email forwarding directly through conversational AI. It acts as a middleware for the Gandi V5 API, allowing users to perform complex administrative tasks like updating zone files, checking domain availability, and managing security records without manually navigating web consoles. The skill handles essential DevOps workflows such as record validation, snapshot creation for rollbacks, and bulk DNS updates, ensuring that users can automate their web property management with precision and speed.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your environment, run the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chrisagiddings/gandi Ensure your Gandi Personal Access Token is configured in your system environment variables before execution to allow the agent to authenticate with the API.

Use Cases

This skill is perfect for developers, sysadmins, and domain resellers. Primary use cases include automating DNS record propagation for new staging environments, conducting quick availability checks for domain brainstorming, maintaining email forwarding rules to keep inboxes organized, and performing batch DNS updates during infrastructure migrations. By utilizing the snapshot feature, users can safely manage large-scale DNS changes with the peace of mind that a full recovery path is available.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current availability of 'mycoolstartup.com' and suggest a few alternatives if it is taken."
2. "Create a snapshot of the current DNS records for 'example.com' then add an A record pointing 'dev.example.com' to 192.168.1.50."
3. "List all email forwards currently active on my account and delete the one for '[email protected]'."

Tips & Limitations

Always prioritize safety by utilizing the snapshots feature before initiating bulk DNS changes. Because this skill interacts with live production records, improper modifications can lead to service downtime for your websites or email systems. We highly recommend testing complex scripts on non-critical domains first. Note that while email forwarding and DNS management are currently supported, full domain registration and SSL certificate lifecycle management are slated for future updates. Always check the official documentation in SCRIPTS.md for the most recent updates on API limitations and safety procedures.
