# Domain Name Generator

Generate and score domain ideas without purchasing or claiming availability without evidence.

## Workflow

1. Gather brand, geography, language, product category, forbidden words, and TLD preferences.
2. Produce candidate names with rationale and risks.
3. Mark availability as `Unknown`, `Manual`, `Planned`, or `Ran`.
4. Hand off registrar/pricing decisions to `domain-registrar-advisor`.

## Safety Rules

- Do not purchase domains or use paid availability APIs without approval.
- Do not imply a domain is available unless a check ran and the source is recorded.
- Avoid trademark, misleading, or legally risky names.
