Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ai-website-cloner copilot-instructions.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 9d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Origin

This is a copy

89% identical to ai-website-cloner-template copilot-instructions.md — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 148 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

This is NOT the Next.js you know

This version has breaking changes — APIs, conventions, and file structure may all differ from your training data. Read the relevant guide in node_modules/next/dist/docs/ before writing any code. Heed deprecation notices.

Website Reverse-Engineer Template

What This Is

A reusable template for reverse-engineering any website into a clean, modern Next.js codebase using AI coding agents. The Next.js + shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 base is pre-scaffolded — just run /clone-website <url1> [<url2> ...].

Tech Stack

  • Framework: Next.js 16 (App Router, React 19, TypeScript strict)
  • UI: shadcn/ui (Radix primitives, Tailwind CSS v4, cn() utility)
  • Icons: Lucide React (default — will be replaced/supplemented by extracted SVGs)
  • Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 with oklch design tokens
  • Deployment: Vercel

Commands

  • npm run dev — Start dev server
  • npm run build — Production build
  • npm run lint — ESLint check
  • npm run typecheck — TypeScript check
  • npm run check — Run lint + typecheck + build

Code Style

  • TypeScript strict mode, no any
  • Named exports, PascalCase components, camelCase utils
  • Tailwind utility classes, no inline styles
  • 2-space indentation
  • Responsive: mobile-first

Design Principles

  • Pixel-perfect emulation — match the target's spacing, colors, typography exactly
  • No personal aesthetic changes during emulation phase — match 1:1 first, customize later
  • Real content — use actual text and assets from the target site, not placeholders
  • Beauty-first — every pixel matters

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
