What This Skill Does

The Gandi AI agent skill is a comprehensive automation tool designed for domain name lifecycle management and DNS infrastructure administration. It acts as an interface between OpenClaw and the Gandi LiveDNS API, allowing users to perform complex registry operations using natural language. The skill supports a full spectrum of DNS record types including A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT, SRV, and more. Beyond simple record management, it includes advanced features such as bulk zone file manipulation, automated DNS snapshotting for safe rollbacks, SSL certificate status monitoring, and email forwarding administration. By providing both read-only insights and destructive administrative capabilities, this skill transforms how developers and system administrators interact with their domain infrastructure, enabling rapid changes while prioritizing safety through automatic state snapshots.

Installation

To integrate the Gandi skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chrisagiddings/gandi-skill Ensure you have your Gandi Personal Access Token generated and properly configured in your environment variables. Refer to the project repository for specific authentication scopes required for the desired level of access.

Use Cases

• Bulk DNS Migration: Update entire zone files when migrating infrastructure between cloud providers without manually editing individual records.
• Emergency Recovery: Quickly restore a previous state of your DNS records using the automated snapshotting feature if a misconfiguration causes site downtime.
• Security Auditing: Periodically monitor domain expiration dates, SSL certificate health, and email forwarding configurations to ensure organizational security compliance.
• Domain Research: Rapidly check domain availability and generate creative name variations during the brainstorming phase of a new project.

Example Prompts

1. "Check the current DNS records for example.com and let me know if there are any missing SPF or DKIM TXT records."
2. "Take a snapshot of the current DNS settings for my-domain.io, then add a new A record pointing to 192.0.2.1 for the subdomain 'dev'."
3. "List all active email forwards on example.net and tell me which ones are catch-all aliases."

Tips & Limitations

This skill is powerful and can impact live production services. Always use read-only scripts when performing audits. When performing modifications, verify your input carefully. The snapshot system is your best safeguard—always run a snapshot before executing bulk changes. Note that this skill is currently in active development, and features such as automated domain registration and DNSSEC management are planned for upcoming phases.
