ai-website-cloner-template
A Next.js 16 template (React 19, Tailwind CSS v4, shadcn/ui) that bundles a portable `clone-website` agent skill. Given a URL, the agent maps routes, inspects desktop and mobile pages, extracts assets and fonts, builds editable components, then compares source and local pages and runs `npm run check`. It works with Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and OpenCode.
Who it is for: Developers rebuilding a site they own as a Next.js app with a coding agent
Strengths
- Same skill is read by Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor and OpenCode
- Output is a typed Next.js codebase with extracted assets, not a screenshot
- Writes route mappings, comparison screenshots and a list of remaining gaps
- MIT license; Docker Compose files for app and dev mode (port 3001)
Weaknesses
- Needs a separate AI coding agent with browser access; no standalone mode
- README recommends Claude Code with Opus 5.5; other agents are only listed as supported
- Requires Node.js 24+
- Output is Next.js only; no other target framework is mentioned
- TypeScript, Claude Code (Opus 5.5 recommended), Codex CLI, Cursor, OpenCode
- Needs Node.js 24+, AI coding agent with browser access
- GitHub template
- Docker
vibesdk
Bun and Vite project that runs a coding agent (Cloudflare Think) in a Durable Object per project, keeps files in a SpaceDO workspace, stores git history in Cloudflare Artifacts, loads previews as Dynamic Workers and gives each generated app SQLite via Durable Object Facets. Models route through AI Gateway; D1 holds platform data. Needs a Workers Paid plan, Workers for Platforms and a custom domain with wildcard DNS.
Who it is for: Teams self-hosting a prompt-to-app builder on Cloudflare
Strengths
- Previews load as Dynamic Workers; no long-running dev server
- Restore points and rollback via Cloudflare Artifacts
- bun run setup provisions resources, AI Gateway, auth and migrations
- Bash is disabled in the agent; tool boundaries are explicit
Weaknesses
- Requires Workers Paid plan, Workers for Platforms and wildcard DNS for previews
- Entirely Cloudflare-specific; nothing is portable to other hosts
- Feature toggles live in the dashboard, not in wrangler.jsonc
- Long setup guide with several API token permissions to get right
- TypeScript, Cloudflare AI Gateway (configured providers)
- Needs Cloudflare account with Workers Paid plan, Cloudflare AI Gateway, D1, model provider API key, custom domain with wildcard DNS
