AI Website Cloner Template

A reusable template for reverse-engineering any website into a clean, modern Next.js codebase using AI coding agents.

Recommended: Claude Code with Opus 4.8 for best results — but works with a variety of AI coding agents.

Point it at a URL, run /clone-website, and your AI agent will inspect the site, extract design tokens and assets, write component specs, and dispatch parallel builders to reconstruct every section.

Quick Start

Important: Start by making your own copy with GitHub's Use this template button. Do not clone this template repository directly for your website project, and do not open pull requests here with your generated website.

1. Create your own repository from this template

   On the GitHub page for this project, click Use this template, then click Create a new repository.

   Give your new repository a name, choose whether it should be public or private, then click Create repository. If GitHub shows an Include all branches option, you can leave it off.

   This gives you your own separate project to work in, so your website changes stay in your account instead of coming back to the main template.

2. Open your new repository on your computer

   After GitHub creates your copy, open that new repository. Click Code and open or clone your new repository with your preferred coding tool.

   If you use the terminal, the command will look like this:

   git clone https://github.com/YOUR-USERNAME/YOUR-NEW-REPOSITORY.git
   cd YOUR-NEW-REPOSITORY
   

3. Install dependencies

   npm install
   

4. Start your AI agent — Claude Code recommended:

   claude --chrome
   

5. Run the skill:

   /clone-website <target-url1> [<target-url2> ...]
   

6. Customize (optional) — after the base clone is built, modify as needed

Using a different agent? Open AGENTS.md for project instructions — most agents pick it up automatically.
