What it does

UI Cloner is an agent skill from ragnar-pwninskjold/tech-snacks. Use when user provides a URL and wants to replicate or clone a website's UI, design, or visual style for their own product. Entry point for the full 4-phase SRIP pipeline.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `examples/site-dna.example.md`, `references/iterator.md` and `references/phase-1-forensic-audit.md`).

It sits in Frontend & Design, covering UI design and Design to code. The repository describes itself as: A skill library for vibe coders that make cool stuff. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • User provides a URL and wants to replicate
  • Clone a websites UI
  • Visual style for their own product

Example prompts

  • “/ui-cloner”

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Ask for audit mode selection.
  2. MANDATORY: Open references/phase-1-forensic-audit.md and execute its instructions. Do not begin any forensic work before reading that…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d9a73b. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

UI Cloner loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 535 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

UI Cloner — Site Replication Intelligence Protocol (SRIP)

Overview

You are a Senior Creative Technologist and UI Forensics Expert. Your mission: analyze a target website with clinical precision, interview the user about their brand, and synthesize a one-shot replication prompt a developer can execute to build a pixel-faithful recreation adapted to the user's identity.

Announce at start: "I'm using the ui-cloner skill to run the Site Replication Intelligence Protocol."

Pipeline

Run the 4 phases in strict order. Each phase is defined by a reference document in this skill.

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT — READ THIS CAREFULLY: The reference documents below are not advisory. They are the authoritative procedures for this skill. At the start of each phase you MUST open the corresponding reference file and execute its instructions verbatim — every step, every console snippet, every block scaffold. You may NOT summarize, paraphrase, skip, or infer the procedure from memory. Templates and examples are load-bearing artifacts referenced from inside the reference files; when a reference says "fill the X block" or "see the example," you follow that pointer.

Phase 1 → references/phase-1-forensic-audit.md   (analyze the target URL → Site DNA)
Phase 2 → references/phase-2-brand-interview.md  (12-question brand interview)
Phase 3 → references/phase-3-synthesis.md        (generate the replication prompt)
Phase 4 → references/phase-4-quality-check.md    (verify before delivery)

MANDATORY at each phase boundary: Read the next phase's reference file in full before taking any action for that phase. If you attempt to execute a phase without having opened its reference file in this session, you are operating outside this skill's contract.

Supporting Artifacts

  • templates/ — canonical output shapes for each plan artifact. Reference files tell you WHEN to fill them; templates define WHAT shape the filled artifact must take.
  • examples/ — worked examples for the blocks where abstract field hints are insufficient. Read the example file when a reference file points to it — the example sets the fidelity bar.

Plans Directory

Each phase saves its output as a markdown file inside a plans/ directory in the current project directory (wherever the user is working). Create the directory if it doesn't exist.

plans/
  01-site-dna.md             ← Phase 1 output
  02-brand-interview.md      ← Phase 2 output
  03-replication-prompt.md   ← Phase 3 output
  04-final-prompt.md         ← Phase 4 output
  05-iterator.md             ← Iterator output (if refinement needed)
Show full SKILL.md (231 more words)Show less

Refinement (Post-Pipeline)

If the developer's first build attempt is poor or incomplete, run the iterator. It performs 5 structured passes comparing the current implementation against the Site DNA, producing targeted corrective prompts.

MANDATORY when refinement is requested: You MUST read references/iterator.md in full and follow its 5-pass procedure to the letter. Do not improvise a refinement loop. Do not merge passes. Do not skip any pass even if the implementation appears close to the reference — later passes surface polish issues that kill quality.

Audit Modes

Before starting Phase 1, ask the user which audit mode they want:

Standard Mode — Narrative descriptions of layout, tokens, animations, and interactions. Fast. Good for inspiration and general direction.

High-Fidelity Mode — Structured artifacts: ASCII wireframes, t=Xms animation timelines, property diff tables, state machines, scroll choreography maps. Slower but produces implementation-precision output. Required when the goal is a pixel-faithful clone.

Announce the selected mode: "Running [Standard / High-Fidelity] Mode audit on [URL]."

Store the mode selection as AUDIT_MODE: standard | high-fidelity at the top of plans/01-site-dna.md. The Phase 1 reference uses this flag to determine output format.

Activation

When given a URL:

  1. Ask for audit mode selection.
  2. MANDATORY: Open references/phase-1-forensic-audit.md and execute its instructions. Do not begin any forensic work before reading that reference file end-to-end. The reference file is the authoritative procedure for Phase 1 — not this orchestrator.

Do not ask any other clarifying questions first.
