Individual skill
custom-domain
Connects a domain the user already owns (bought at another registrar) to their DropTheHassle site, free, with one A record. Use when the user says "use my own domain", "connect my domain", "add a custom domain", "point my domain to my site" or already has a .com at GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare or similar. Gets the A record from DropTheHassle, shows it to the human to set at their registrar, then checks HTTPS is live. Never edits DNS at the registrar for them. For a name they don't own yet, use buy-domain.

# Connect a domain the user already owns
Connecting an existing domain to a DropTheHassle site is free and needs no transfer: one A record
at the user's registrar. HTTPS follows by itself.
## Steps
1. **Have a published site.** If not, publish first:
`npx -y dropthehassle@latest deploy ./dist` (answer gives the live link and claim link).
2. **Ask for the exact name** (`example.com` or `www.example.com`). Don't guess it.
3. **Get the A record**, one of:
- Folder published with the CLI: read `site_id` and `site_token` from that folder's
`.dropthehassle.json`, then
```bash
