ai-website-cloner-template

Next.js template with an agent skill that rebuilds a website from its URL

Live demo ↗ (opens in a new tab)36.5k stars, MIT, last commit Oct 2026

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.

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

jeecgboot

Java low-code platform with code generator and built-in AI app builder

Live demo ↗ (opens in a new tab)48.2k stars, Apache-2.0, last commit Sep 2026

JeecgBoot is a Spring Boot 4 and Vue3 platform for building enterprise systems such as OA, ERP and CRM. It pairs an online form builder and code generator with an AI module (model management, knowledge base with RAG, flow orchestration, MCP plugins, chat assistant) built on langchain4j. It runs as a monolith or as Spring Cloud Alibaba microservices.

Strengths

  • Code generator emits front end, back end, table SQL and menu permissions
  • Switches between monolith and Spring Cloud Alibaba microservices (Nacos, Gateway, Sentinel)
  • Row, column and form-field level data permissions plus multi-tenant SaaS support
  • Supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, SQL Server, MariaDB, Dameng, Kingbase and TiDB

Weaknesses

  • Only MySQL scripts ship by default; other databases need manual conversion
  • README and docs are primarily in Chinese, with English and Japanese variants linked
  • Large stack: needs Redis and a database, and microservice mode adds Nacos and more
  • AI features are one module in a broad platform, not a standalone AI app server
  • Java, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Qwen, Zhipu
  • Needs MySQL 5.7+, Redis, Nacos (microservice mode), MinIO or Aliyun OSS (optional)

llamacoder

Open-source Claude Artifacts clone generating React apps with Llama

Live demo ↗ (opens in a new tab)7.1k stars, MIT, last commit Sep 2026

Next.js App Router app with Tailwind that sends a prompt to Llama 3.1 405B on Together AI and renders the generated React app in a sandboxed iframe using esbuild-wasm and esm.sh. Needs TOGETHER_API_KEY, a Postgres DATABASE_URL via Prisma (Neon suggested) and S3 credentials for screenshot uploads; Braintrust tracing is optional. For developers building a prompt-to-app demo on open models.

Strengths

  • In-browser preview via esbuild-wasm and esm.sh; no server sandbox cost
  • Prisma and Postgres persistence for generated apps
  • Braintrust observability wired as an optional env var
  • Live deployment at llamacoder.io shows the finished product

Weaknesses

  • Together AI only; no provider abstraction
  • Screenshot upload requires five S3-related env vars
  • No auth or rate limiting described
  • No .env.example
  • TypeScript, Together AI (Llama 3.1 405B)
  • Needs Together AI API key, PostgreSQL (Neon), S3 bucket for screenshots, Braintrust (optional)

open-agents

Reference app for background coding agents on Vercel sandboxes

Live demo ↗ (opens in a new tab)5.8k stars, MIT, last commit Jun 2026

pnpm monorepo (web app, agent, sandbox and shared packages) where a Next.js app with Better Auth (Vercel and GitHub OAuth) starts durable Workflow SDK runs that drive an agent with file, shell, search and web tools against isolated Vercel sandboxes with snapshot resume. Needs Postgres and a GitHub App for clone, push and PRs; Redis and ElevenLabs voice are optional. For teams forking a hosted coding agent on Vercel.

Strengths

  • Agent runs as a durable workflow outside the sandbox, resumable by reconnecting
  • GitHub App integration for repo access, auto-commit, push and PR
  • Better Auth with Vercel and GitHub providers wired
  • pnpm run ci covers lint, typecheck, tests and migration check

Weaknesses

  • Tied to Vercel Sandbox and Workflow SDK; not portable off Vercel
  • Setup needs a Vercel OAuth app, a GitHub App and six GitHub env vars
  • Model provider configuration is not described in the README
  • TypeScript
  • Needs PostgreSQL (Neon), Vercel Sandbox, Vercel OAuth app, GitHub App, Redis (optional), ElevenLabs (optional)

vibesdk

Self-hosted prompt-to-app platform on Cloudflare Workers and Durable Objects

Live demo ↗ (opens in a new tab)5.4k stars, MIT, last commit Sep 2026

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.

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

  • TypeScript, OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Google Vertex
  • Needs E2B API key, LLM provider API key, Supabase (optional, auth), Vercel/Upstash KV (optional), PostHog (optional), Morph API key (optional)
