the steps
8 steps · 2 from verified skills- Step 1tool
Capture the current DNS zone at the registrar — export or read every existing record (A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, TXT/SPF/DKIM, etc.) so nothing is lost in the move
Your model fills this step- No integration? Manually list the existing records from the registrar's DNS management page
- No integration? Paste an exported BIND/zone file of the current records
- Step 2tool
Add the domain as a new site in Cloudflare so Cloudflare scans existing records and assigns this zone its two nameservers

Full skill: cloudbypass- No integration? In the Cloudflare dashboard click Add a Site, enter the domain, pick the Free plan, and note the two assigned nameservers
- Step 3
Reconcile the imported records against the captured zone and add any records Cloudflare's scan missed, so web, mail and verification records are all present before the cutover
Your model fills this step - Step 4
At the registrar, disable DNSSEC if it is enabled, since its signatures are tied to the old provider and will fail once nameservers point to Cloudflare
Your model fills this step - Step 5tool
Set the registrar's nameservers to the Cloudflare-assigned pair (Custom DNS on Namecheap, Change Nameservers on GoDaddy) to begin the cutover
Your model fills this step- No integration? In the registrar's nameserver settings, replace the existing nameservers with the two Cloudflare nameservers and save
- Step 6tool
Poll Cloudflare until the zone status flips to Active, confirming nameserver propagation is complete

Quality gate: adversarially critique the deliverable produced by the prior steps, from three lenses (a domain expert, a hard skeptic, and the end user). Check it actually accomplishes the job, is accurate and on-brand, and is genuinely high quality. Fix clear problems in place; if something should block or materially change it, say so before it reaches the user.
Decision step - Step 8decision
Verify the domain resolves through Cloudflare with all original records intact, optionally re-enable DNSSEC per the user's choice, and present a migration summary for approval

common questions
How do I move a domain's DNS from Namecheap or GoDaddy to Cloudflare: add the site, import existing records, disable DNSSEC, repoint nameservers, and verify the zone goes active without breaking mail or web?
The domain to Cloudflare migration agent. A domain fully migrated to Cloudflare DNS — zone Active, all original records preserved, site + email still resolving — with a verification summary you approve.
Is the domain to Cloudflare migration agent free?
Yes. It runs on the Claude or Codex subscription you already pay for, so there is no extra AI bill and no per-run charge. You can build and run unlimited agents on the free plan.
How often does the domain to Cloudflare migration agent run?
You choose: run it on demand, or put it on a schedule (hourly, daily, weekly). Once scheduled it runs unattended, as you, on your own machine.
What does the domain to Cloudflare migration agent need to run?
Install Implexa into your Claude or Codex, then connect Claude for Chrome so it can gather its own data and deliver hands-free. Implexa never touches your accounts or credentials.
Does the domain to Cloudflare migration agent use my data? Is it private?
It runs as you, on your own machine, on your real data. The model runs inside your own Claude or Codex, so Implexa never sees your data, accounts, or credentials. Your agent's memory is yours and travels with you across Claude, Codex, and whatever comes next.
How do I build the domain to Cloudflare migration agent?
Install Implexa into your Claude or Codex, then say "build the domain to Cloudflare migration agent" and approve the schedule. Implexa assembles the 8 steps (2 from verified skills) and it runs on its own. About 5 minutes to your first real run.
Can I change what the domain to Cloudflare migration agent does?
Yes. Tell it what to change in plain language and it revises its steps; the next scheduled run uses the change, with no re-scheduling. Every change is versioned, and a run can even propose its own improvements.
