    "incantation": "When buying or renewing a domain without an interactive terminal, explicitly select the paying team and first request the price without `--amount`. After a person approves the price and terms, run the returned command with the approved amount; for purchases, also provide required registrant details and choose auto-renewal.",

      "vercel domains buy <domain> --scope <team> --json",

      "Version: 63.1.0",
      "<domain> (required): Domain to buy or renew.",
      "--scope <team> (required): Select the paying team for a non-interactive charge; saved team selection or `vercel.json` scope alone is insufficient.",
      "VERCEL_ORG_ID: Alternative to `--scope`: set to the ID of the paying team for a non-interactive charge.",
      "--amount <USD> (required): Required to charge; must equal the current price approved by a person. Omit to request price and approval instructions without charging.",
      "--first-name <TEXT> (required): Registrant's first name.",
      "--last-name <TEXT> (required): Registrant's last name.",
      "--email <TEXT>: Registrant email; required unless supplied by approved billing details.",
      "--phone <TEXT> (required): Registrant phone, starting with `+` and containing 10–15 digits including country code.",
      "--address <TEXT>: Street address; required unless supplied by approved billing details. Quote values containing spaces.",
      "--city <TEXT>: Registrant city; required unless supplied by approved billing details.",
      "--state <TEXT>: State or province; required unless supplied by approved billing details. Required for every country when specified as a contact field.",
      "--zip <TEXT>: Postal or ZIP code; required unless supplied by approved billing details. Required for every country when specified as a contact field.",
      "--country <CODE>: Two-letter country code; required unless supplied by approved billing details.",
      "--company <TEXT>: Registrant company name.",
      "--use-billing-details: Use available team billing email and address fields for registrant details; does not supply first name, last name, or phone. Contact flags override billing details.",
      "--auto-renew (required): Allow recurring renewal charges at the end of each term. Provide exactly one of this flag and `--no-auto-renew`; neither takes a value.",
      "--no-auto-renew (required): Turn automatic renewal off. Provide exactly one of this flag and `--auto-renew`; neither takes a value.",
      "--json: Return structured output without prompts; equivalent documented option: `--format json`.",
      "Prerequisite: Use Vercel CLI 63.1.0 or later for prompt-free buy/renew commands.",
      "Prerequisite: Before a non-interactive charge, specify the paying team with `--scope <team>` or `VERCEL_ORG_ID` set to that team's ID.",
      "Prerequisite: For a purchase, supply required registrant fields and exactly one auto-renew choice; approved billing details can supply available email and address fields.",
      "Without a terminal, the team must be named with `--scope` or `VERCEL_ORG_ID`.",
      "Without `--amount`, no charge is made; the command returns the price, paying team, renewal terms, and exact command to run after a person approves the price.",
      "A failed or unconfirmed charge returns a JSON error, and the charge request is never retried.",
      "Without a terminal, `domains buy` requires `--auto-renew` or `--no-auto-renew`; auto-renew has no default there because it starts a recurring charge."
