name: domain-dns-ops description: > Domain/DNS ops across Cloudflare, DNSimple, Namecheap for Peter. Use for onboarding zones to Cloudflare, flipping nameservers, setting redirects (Page Rules/Rulesets/Workers), updating redirect-worker mappings, and verifying DNS/HTTP. Source of truth: ~/Projects/manager.

Domain/DNS Ops (Peter)

This skill is a thin router: use

~/Projects/manager

as truth, run the repo scripts, follow the checklists.

Source of truth (read first)

```
~/Projects/manager/DOMAINS.md
```
(domain -> target map; registrar hints; exclusions)
```
~/Projects/manager/DNS.md
```
(Cloudflare onboarding + DNS/redirect checklist)

~/Projects/manager/redirect-worker.ts

~/Projects/manager/redirect-worker-mapping.md

(worker redirects)

Golden path (new vanity domain -> Cloudflare -> redirect)

Decide routing model
- Page Rule redirect (small scale, per-zone).
- Rulesets / Bulk Redirects (account-level; needs token perms).
- Worker route (fallback; uses
```
redirect-worker
```
  ).
Cloudflare zone
- Create zone (UI), then confirm with
```
cli4
```
  :
  - ```
  cli4 --get name=example.com /zones
```

Nameservers

If registrar = Namecheap:

cd ~/Projects/manager && source profile && bin/namecheap-set-ns example.com emma.ns.cloudflare.com scott.ns.cloudflare.com

If registrar = DNSimple: see
```
~/Projects/manager/DNS.md
```
for delegation API notes.

DNS placeholders (so CF can terminate HTTPS)
- Proxied apex
```
A
```
  + wildcard
```
A
```
  →
```
192.0.2.1
```
  (see
```
~/Projects/manager/DNS.md
```
  for exact
```
cli4
```
  calls).

Redirect

If using Page Rules: use the

cli4 --post ... /pagerules

template from

~/Projects/manager/DNS.md

If using Worker: update mapping (

~/Projects/manager/redirect-worker-mapping.md

), deploy/bind routes per

~/Projects/manager/DNS.md

Verify

DNS:
```
dig +short example.com @1.1.1.1
```
(expect CF anycast).
HTTPS redirect:
```
curl -I https://example.com
```
(expect
```
301
```
).

Common ops

Cloudflare token sanity:

source ~/.profile

(prefer

CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN

;

CF_API_TOKEN

fallback).

Disable “Block AI bots”:

cd ~/Projects/manager && source profile && bin/cloudflare-ai-bots status

bin/cloudflare-ai-bots disable

After edits (commit/push)

If you changed anything in

~/Projects/manager

(docs, worker, scripts, mappings): commit there too.

Review:

cd ~/Projects/manager && git status && git diff

Stage:
```
git add <paths>
```

Commit (Conventional Commits):

git commit -m "feat: …"

fix:

docs:

chore:

Push only when explicitly asked:
```
git push origin main
```

Don’t touch
```
.md
```
lore domains or
```
steipete.md
```
unless explicitly asked; check
```
~/Projects/manager/DOMAINS.md
```
.
Confirm registrar before debugging CF “invalid nameservers” (often “wrong registrar”).
Prefer reversible steps; verify after each change (NS → DNS → redirect).
