Rebuild a website as a Next.js codebase with AI Website Cloner

AI Website Cloner Template gives an AI coding agent a structured way to inspect a site, extract design tokens and assets, write component specifications, build sections in parallel, and compare the result with the original. It is best suited to migration, recovery, and learning work where you are authorized to reuse the source material.

What you get

The workflow starts with browser-based reconnaissance, computed-style and asset extraction, interaction checks, component specifications, parallel construction, assembly, and visual comparison.

Version 0.4.0 makes repeated multi-page work safer: later /clone-website runs preserve existing pages and isolate each target's routes, research, components, assets, and downloaders. It also expands agent workspace support, updates the foundation to Node.js 24, Next.js 16.3, and React 19.2.4, and adds generated-file drift checks plus a security policy.

The result is a Next.js, React, Tailwind CSS, and shadcn/ui codebase rather than a flat screenshot. You can replace the content, rename components, and connect your own data and behavior.

How to start

Use the official repository's “Use this template” action to create your own copy, then install dependencies and run /clone-website <target-url> in a supported coding agent. Start with a site you own or are authorized to rebuild, and keep desktop and mobile screenshots for comparison.

What still requires human work

A reconstructed interface is not a complete migration. Data, forms, authentication, analytics, redirects, SEO metadata, accessibility, deployment, and security may all need separate implementation. Complex WebGL, authenticated content, payments, and live data are especially likely to require custom code.

Do not use the project for phishing, impersonation, or passing off another party's design as your own. A public page is not automatic permission to download or republish its copy, logos, fonts, images, or customer data.
