Description
The 'Crypto walkthrough' on page for domains verified via DNS entry lists, as a last step the command
dig $domain TXT && dig _keybase.$domain TXT
This however gives way too much data for the user to scan - my domain is configured to return negative SPF records for every non existing name, and with two queries this amounts to a screenful of text, (and not exactly a 25 lines terminal).
Considering that no other information except the record itself is used, I'd suggest
dig +short $domain TXT && dig +short _keybase.$domain TXT
as the command to check the DNS records by oneself.
