- You are about to reverse-engineer and rebuild a website as a pixel-perfect clone, then re-skin the copy/branding for the user's SaaS idea.
11
-
12
- **Launchframe shorthand:** If the user only says **Build it**, **Go**, **Ship it**, **Clone the site**, or **Run launchframe** with no URL in the message, treat that as an invocation of this skill with empty `$ARGUMENTS` — **`launchframe.config.json` alone** supplies `url` and `idea`. Proceed without asking them to repeat those values unless the file is missing or invalid.

- **Before doing anything else**, read `launchframe.config.json` at the project root. This file was written by the `launchframe` CLI when the project was scaffolded and is the authoritative source of:
17
-
18
- - `url` — the visual source-of-truth you are cloning
19
- - `idea` — the user's SaaS idea, which becomes the rebranding directive applied after the pixel-perfect clone
20
-
21
- If `$ARGUMENTS` is non-empty, treat the arguments as additional URLs (or an override) and merge them with the config — explicit CLI args win on conflict. If `launchframe.config.json` is missing, fall back to `$ARGUMENTS` and ask the user for an idea if one wasn't provided.

41
- 1. **Read `launchframe.config.json`** (see Step 0 above). After a fresh `npx launchframe` scaffold, proceed immediately only echo `url`/`idea` for confirmation if the config looks wrong or the user asked to verify.
42
- 2. **Browser automation.** Prefer an MCP (Chrome DevTools MCP, Playwright MCP, Browserbase MCP, etc.) when it is healthy. **If MCP is missing or in an error state, run `npm run recon` (Playwright)** see `scripts/recon-playwright.mjs`. It performs **stabilized full-document scrolling** at desktop and mobile, writes merged **`computed-snapshot.json`** + **`MEDIA_MANIFEST.md`**, and **full-page** screenshots under `docs/design-references/`. Use `npm run recon:headed` if headless hits a WAF/challenge page. One-time install: `npx playwright install chromium`. Do not skip extraction — adapt the pipeline to the tools that work.
43
- 3. Validate the resolved URL(s). Normalize and verify each is accessible via your browser MCP tool. If any are invalid, ask the user to correct `launchframe.config.json` (or pass an override) before proceeding.
44
- 4. Verify the base project builds: `npm run build`. The Next.js + shadcn/ui + Tailwind v4 scaffold should already be in place. If not, tell the user to run `npm install` first.
45
- 5. Create the output directories if they don't exist: `docs/research/`, `docs/research/components/`, `docs/design-references/`, `scripts/`. Plan `docs/research/MEDIA_MANIFEST.md` as soon as media is inventoried. For multiple clones, also prepare per-site folders like `docs/research/<hostname>/` and `docs/design-references/<hostname>/`.
46
- 6. When working with multiple sites in one command, optionally confirm whether to run them in parallel (recommended, if resources allow) or sequentially to avoid overload.
29
+ 1. **Browser automation is required.** Check for available browser MCP tools (Chrome MCP, Playwright MCP, Browserbase MCP, Puppeteer MCP, etc.). Use whichever is available — if multiple exist, prefer Chrome MCP. If none are detected, ask the user which browser tool they have and how to connect it. This skill cannot work without browser automation.

  ## Guiding Principles
49
36
 
50
37
  These are the truths that separate a successful clone from a "close enough" mess. Internalize them — they should inform every decision you make.
51
38
 
52
- ### 0. Launchframe priorities: media & motion (do not defer)
39
+ ### 0. Visual crawl priority (images, SVGs, motion first)
53
40
 
54
- **Raster & video are first-class.** Before you treat the page as “mostly typography,” run a dedicated **media inventory** (see `@docs/research/INSPECTION_GUIDE.md` Priority section): every `<img>`, `<picture>` / `<source>`, `<video>` (+ poster), and non-trivial `background-image`. Download to `public/images/` and `public/videos/` and write `docs/research/MEDIA_MANIFEST.md` (URL local path, or `BLOCKED` + reason). Component specs MUST list concrete `public/...` paths; if you use a placeholder, say why in `docs/research/EXTRACTION_LIMITATIONS.md`. Never silently drop a hero layer, reel, or og visual.
41
+ When you traverse the DOM and the Network panel, do **not** treat all nodes equally. Work in this **priority order** so the clone feels like the original, not a wireframe:
55
42
 
56
- **Motion defaults to Framer Motion.** This template lists `framer-motion` as a dependency. After foundation tokens, ensure `import { motion } from "framer-motion"` (and related APIs: `useScroll`, `useTransform`, `AnimatePresence`, `LayoutGroup`, **`useReducedMotion`**) for: scroll-triggered reveals, staggered children, layout transitions, and gestures anything beyond a trivial one-property CSS `transition`. In each spec file, add a **Motion** subsection: trigger, duration, easing, delay/stagger, **tier A–E coverage** (see `AGENTS.md` production polish table), reduced-motion fallback, and **implementation: CSS | framer-motion**. Prefer CSS only when it matches the target exactly without JS.
43
+ 1. **Images (raster + video stills)** Enumerate `<img>`, `<picture>`, responsive `srcset`, `data-*` lazy URLs, **computed `background-image`** on the element and parents (including pseudo-elements), mask images, `<video poster>`, hero media. **Scrape:** download binary assets to `public/images/` (or `public/videos/`) with stable paths referenced in specs. **Create** a replacement PNG/WebP/SVG only when the asset is blocked (CORS, auth cookie, 403), ephemeral, or impossible to URL-fetch use a high-DPI screenshot crop, traced artwork, or CSS gradient approximation, and mark `ASSET_SOURCE: generated` in the component spec with a short reason.
44
+ 2. **SVGs & iconography** — Inline `<svg>`, sprite `symbol` defs, **SVG used as masks/filters**, icon fonts (prefer path extraction). Convert to `@/components/icons.tsx` (or section-local components) with meaningful names. Prioritize crisp edges and correct `viewBox` over shrinking bundle size during emulation.
45
+ 3. **Motion & animation** — CSS `@keyframes`, `animation`, `animation-timeline`, `transition`, `transform`, will-change hints; JS-driven motion (carousel timing, IntersectionObserver reveals); libraries (GSAP, Framer, Lottie JSON, Lenis). Capture **numbers** (ms, easing curves, stagger, scroll thresholds), not adjectives. Include **reduced-motion** behavior if present.
57
46
 
58
- **Illustration & pixel art are production inputs.** Where the target (or post-rebrand layout) lacks convincing visuals, specs MUST allocate **idea-tailored SVG scenes** metaphors drawn from `launchframe.config.json#idea`, documented with **Idea tie-in** per asset — not generic gray placeholders or unrelated clipart. Pixel-art motifs require concept justification plus palette table in the spec.
47
+ Only after the above are accounted for should you spend cycle time on minor text or non-visual refactors. A perfect grid with missing hero art and dead animation still fails the clone.

Missing an overlay image makes the clone look empty even if the background is correct.

- ## Phase 4.5: SaaS Rebrand Pass
455
-
456
- The pixel-perfect clone is done — now re-skin it for the SaaS idea from `launchframe.config.json`.
457
-
458
- **Guiding rule:** swap words and brand marks, leave structure untouched. The original site's visual hierarchy was already validated by a real product team. Your job is to put the user's product into that proven shell, not to redesign it.
459
-
460
- For every section, replace:
461
-
462
- 1. **Product name & logo** — wherever the original brand appears, use the SaaS idea's name (derive a short product name from the `idea` string if one isn't supplied — keep it 1–2 words, easy to lockup). Replace the wordmark text in place. For the logo glyph, either reuse the original SVG silhouette with a fresh fill, or use a Lucide icon that matches the SaaS category (e.g., `Brain` for AI, `Workflow` for automation, `Sparkles` for generative tooling). Do NOT keep the original brand's actual logo file.
463
- 2. **Hero headline & sub-headline** — write fresh copy that pitches the SaaS idea, using the original line lengths and tone as constraints. If the original is 6 words, write 6 words. If it's 14, write 14. Match emphasis, line breaks, and any inline highlighted phrase.
464
- 3. **Feature/section copy** — rewrite each feature card, callout, stat, and testimonial to fit the SaaS idea. Preserve the count and shape of items (3 feature cards stay 3 feature cards; a 4-column logo bar stays 4 columns). Generate plausible customer-logo names — never use real company names you haven't been authorized to use.
465
- 4. **CTA labels** — adapt button text to the SaaS idea ("Start free", "Get a demo", "Try it free", etc.). Keep the CTA hierarchy (primary/secondary) identical to the original.
466
- 5. **Mock data** — for product UI mockups embedded in marketing screenshots (e.g., a fake dashboard inside a hero), generate mock data shaped for the SaaS idea: realistic-looking but fictional rows, charts, conversation logs, etc.
467
- 6. **Imagery** — Replace photography/screenshots that depict the original brand with visuals **authored for this SaaS idea**, not interchangeable decoration. Before designing: derive a **metaphor list** from `idea` (3–6 concrete hooks). Each hero/feature/OG asset gets an **Idea tie-in** sentence in `docs/research/REBRAND.md`. Prefer bespoke SVG scenes (`src/components/marketing/art/`) or raster under `public/images/marketing/` that preserve dimensions/aspect/shadows from the cloned layout. **Avoid:** unrelated filler (e.g. apparel, random lifestyle props when the product is notes/voice), generic gradient-only heroes, Lucide-icon piles unless the reference was already that minimal — those fail the uniqueness bar in `AGENTS.md`.
468
- 7. **Metadata** — update `<title>`, meta description, OG tags, and favicon manifest in `src/app/layout.tsx` to reflect the new SaaS. Generate a simple favicon (initial letter on a brand-colored square) if no asset is provided.
469
-
470
- What you must NOT change in this pass:
471
- - Spacing, padding, typography scale, color tokens, **animation timing & motion choreography** (including Framer Motion `variants` / `transition` props), responsive breakpoints — those are still 1:1 to the original
472
- - Section order, section count, component structure
473
- - Interaction models (scroll-driven stays scroll-driven, etc.)
474
- - Any computed-style value extracted in Phase 3
475
-
476
- After the rebrand pass, the codebase should look like the original site visually but read like the user's SaaS at a glance. Save a short `docs/research/REBRAND.md` summarizing the product name you chose, the headline rewrites, and any assets you swapped — so the user can audit what's clone-derived vs. authored.
477
-
478
- ## Phase 4.6: Production uplift *(sparse references / stronger idea-specific art)*
479
-
480
- Run this pass when **any** of the following is true:
481
-
482
- - The cloned reference is mostly typography with weak imagery (internal demos, minimalist SaaS shells).
483
- - The user asks for **more unique images**, **illustration tailored to the idea**, **stronger visuals**, motion, pixel art, or production polish.
484
- - Visual QA feels “correct but dead” — layout matches but art is generic, unrelated, or repeated stock metaphors.
485
-
486
- **Do not contradict pixel-perfect emulation when cloning a rich reference** — this phase *adds* or swaps **idea-native** imagery only where the brief allows uplift or the reference was inherently flat.
487
-
488
- Checklist (mirror `AGENTS.md` — **uniqueness first**):
489
-
490
- 1. **Idea-tailored imagery** — Metaphor list from `idea`; replace any asset that could belong to another vertical. Per-asset **Idea tie-in** in `docs/research/PRODUCTION_UPLIFT.md` alongside SVG/raster paths.
491
- 2. **Density** — Layered hero + distinct scene per feature card in **one shared visual language** (stroke/accent/grid), still idea-specific.
492
- 3. **Motion tiers** — Implement at minimum **A + B + one of C/D**, optionally **E**: staggered hero load, `whileInView` sections + card stagger, looping ambient (marquee / caret / SVG dash loop), hover lifts / nav scroll shrink, optional light parallax. Gate loops with **`useReducedMotion()`**.
493
- 4. **Brand** — Motif thread + accent tokens in `:root`; favicon / OG echo **this** product narrative.
494
-
495
- Document deltas in `docs/research/PRODUCTION_UPLIFT.md`.

@@ -540,25 +469,19 @@ These are lessons from previous failed clones — each one cost hours of rework:
540
469
  - **Don't build everything in one monolithic commit.** The whole point of this pipeline is incremental progress with verified builds at each step.
541
470
  - **Don't reference docs from builder prompts.** Each builder gets the CSS spec inline in its prompt — never "see DESIGN_TOKENS.md for colors." The builder should have zero need to read external docs.
542
471
  - **Don't skip asset extraction.** Without real images, videos, and fonts, the clone will always look fake regardless of how perfect the CSS is.
543
- - **Don't defer image/video download to the end.** Run `MEDIA_MANIFEST.md` + `download-assets.mjs` during foundation so components reference real `public/` paths from the first build.
544
- - **Don't fake complex motion with a single CSS `transition` when the target uses staggered, scroll-scrubbed, or layout-driven animation** — use **`framer-motion`** (`motion`, `whileInView`, `variants`, `staggerChildren`) and match duration/easing from extraction.
545
472
  - **Don't give a builder agent too much scope.** If you're writing a builder prompt and it's getting long because the section is complex, that's a signal to break it into smaller tasks.
546
473
  - **Don't bundle unrelated sections into one agent.** A CTA section and a footer are different components with different designs — don't hand them both to one agent and hope for the best.
547
474
  - **Don't skip responsive extraction.** If you only inspect at desktop width, the clone will break at tablet and mobile. Test at 1440, 768, and 390 during extraction.
548
475
  - **Don't forget smooth scroll libraries.** Check for Lenis (`.lenis` class), Locomotive Scroll, or similar. Default browser scrolling feels noticeably different and the user will spot it immediately.
549
- - **Don't ship interchangeable marketing art.** Random objects, unrelated lifestyle stock, or generic gradients that could match any SaaS violate the **idea-tailored** rule in `AGENTS.md` — every major visual needs a metaphor from `launchframe.config.json#idea`.
550
476
  - **Don't dispatch builders without a spec file.** The spec file forces exhaustive extraction and creates an auditable artifact. Skipping it means the builder gets whatever you can fit in a prompt from memory.

+ # Launchframe
9
+
10
+ You are helping the user scaffold a **new** project from **$ARGUMENTS**:
11
+
12
+ - A **reference URL** (the website to copy later with `/clone-website`)
13
+ - A **SaaS idea** string (headline / positioning for the generated landing page)
14
+
15
+ ## Parse inputs
16
+
17
+ 1. Split **$ARGUMENTS** into:
18
+ - **URL** — First `http://` or `https://` URL. Normalize (trim, validate). If invalid or missing, ask once for a correct URL.
19
+ - **SaaS idea** — Everything after the URL, typically in quotes. Strip surrounding quotes. If empty, ask for a short product pitch.
20
+
21
+ 2. Optional flags the user might pass (same as the CLI): `--dir` / `-o` for output folder, `--skip-install` to skip `npm install`.
22
+
23
+ ## Run the published CLI
24
+
25
+ Execute the scaffold using the **latest** package from npm (exact intent: **`launchframe@latest`**):
26
+
27
+ ```bash
28
+ npx launchframe@latest "<url>" "<saas-idea>" [--dir <folder>] [--skip-install]
29
+ ```
30
+
31
+ - Use shell-appropriate quoting (PowerShell vs bash). Escape embedded quotes in the SaaS idea.
32
+ - **Output path:** The Launchframe CLI must not write **inside** the npm package / template directory itself (that would recurse). If the open workspace is this repository, run `npx` with `--dir` pointing to a **sibling** path (e.g. `..\\my-app` on Windows, `../my-app` on macOS/Linux) or ask the user for a folder **outside** the repo.
33
+ - Prefer letting the CLI run `npm install` unless the user passed `--skip-install`.
34
+
35
+ ## After scaffold
36
+
37
+ Tell the user:
38
+
39
+ 1. `cd` into the new project directory.
40
+ 2. `npm run dev` to preview the SaaS landing shell.
41
+ 3. Run **`/clone-website <same-reference-url>`** in that project so the agent can reverse-engineer the reference site into components, while keeping the SaaS idea from `launchframe.context.json` / `src/lib/launchframe-config.ts`.
42
+
43
+ ## Fallback (local dev only)
44
+
45
+ If `npx launchframe@latest` is unavailable (offline), from a **checkout of this repo** you may run `node bin/launchframe.mjs "<url>" "<saas-idea>" ...` with the same rules for `--dir` outside the package root.
