The Domains skill helps agents manage domain resources in Datum Cloud — attaching domains to projects, retrieving verification tokens (DNS record or HTTP token), and applying changes idempotently. It teaches agents the correct workflow: apply the manifest, then check status.verification for the challenge before confirming ownership. The skill ships in the datum-networking Claude Code plugin, alongside procedures for diagnosing a load balancer that isn’t serving and for creating networks, using the same diagnosis Datum’s own assistant runs.

​
Install

Installing it also installs the datum-cloud base plugin, which runs Datum MCP. For other agents, copy the skill folder into your agent’s skills directory.
Once installed, the skill activates automatically when you ask an agent to work with Domains on Datum. No further configuration needed.
