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
llamacoder
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.
Who it is 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)
