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
open-agents
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.
Who it is for: Teams building a hosted background 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)
