clone-website

clone-website is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from JCodesMore/ai-website-cloner-template. It costs 46 tokens per session (1,285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coding-agent workflow for rebuilding one or more websites from their visible pages. It examines each section, collects the site's assets, styles, and text, and coordinates the construction work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clone, copy, replicate, or reverse-engineer websites into working code, including pages with different paths.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of studying a website and recreating its appearance. It also keeps separate pages and routes organized when several URLs are involved.

About the project

AI Website Cloner Template is a starter project that lets an AI coding agent recreate a website from its URL as a Next.js application. It is intended for people using coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or Gemini to generate website projects. Its catalogue add-ons define the instructions, command, skill, and rule used in that cloning workflow.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

clone-website 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 16d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 62 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Clone a website

Recreate the supplied pages in the current app. Match the source before adding a new design direction. Deliver working, editable code: screenshots, iframes, and downloaded production bundles are references, not the implementation.

1. Map the work

Read project instructions, the actual framework/scripts, and existing routes. Open the source URLs with the available browser. Prefer direct HTTP, asset tools, or APIs for extraction when practical; use the browser to establish appearance and behavior.

Record a short source-to-local route map and the files each page owns. Follow the app's conventions; in this template use src/app/, src/components/sites/<site>/, public/sites/<site>/, and docs/research/<site>/. Give origins, pages, and downloads distinct names; add a port or URL hash when readable names collide.

  • A first root clone may replace the untouched template homepage.
  • Preserve source pathnames for multiple pages from one origin. Query/fragment variations usually represent states of the same route; reproduce those states.
  • Preserve existing authored routes/assets. Update them when requested; resolve unrequested route collisions before replacing anything.
  • When adding pages to an existing clone, extend its layout and global styles without replacing the styles used by existing pages.
  • Use separate apps for different origins unless the user wants a combined app. Combined sites need distinct route prefixes and scoped fonts, styles, and layout.
  • Escape literal URL segments that conflict with framework syntax (_, @, brackets, parentheses) using its supported mechanism, then verify the actual requested URL.

Existing clones are useful starting points: compare them with the current source and record what was reused. Finish when every requested URL has a destination and file ownership is clear.

2. Observe before building

Inspect the whole page at desktop and mobile widths. Scroll top to bottom to load lazy media and reveal sticky/pinned scenes. Then exercise menus, tabs, accordions, carousels, hover states, and primary links. Distinguish changes driven by scroll, click, hover, or time; a click imitation of a scroll-driven section is a different product.

Changes

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.
