Static Site Cloner#

Based on a target website URL, accurately reproduce the site's structure, visuals, and interactions using pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. Output only front-end code, without involving backend functionality.

Use Cases#

• User requests to "reproduce a website," "clone a website," "recreate a website," "copy a web page"
• User provides a website URL and requests code rewrite
• User needs to convert an existing website into pure front-end code
• User wants to learn or understand the front-end implementation of a particular website

Workflow#

1. Information Gathering#

Use web_fetch to retrieve the HTML content of the target website:

text

web_fetch(url="target_url", extractMode="markdown")

Analyze and document:

• Page structure (navigation, header, main content, footer)
• Visual elements (colors, typography, spacing, shadows)
• Interactive behaviors (clicks, hovers, animations)

2. Structure Reproduction#

Write semantic HTML:

• Use proper HTML5 tags (header, nav, main, section, article, footer)
• Maintain DOM hierarchy consistent with the original site
• Add clear comments explaining the function of each section

3. Style Restoration#

Write CSS styles:

• Prefer Flexbox/Grid layout
• Implement responsive design (media queries)
• Pay attention to pseudo-classes and transition effects (:hover, :focus, transition)
• Use CSS variables to manage colors and spacing

4. Interaction Implementation#

Use vanilla JavaScript:

• Event listeners (addEventListener)
• DOM manipulation (classList, style, innerHTML)
• Animation effects (requestAnimationFrame or CSS Animation)

5. Output Specification#

Generate runnable code:

text

project_directory/
├── index.html
├── styles/
│   └── main.css
└── scripts/
    └── main.js

Or a single-file version (inline CSS/JS).

Code Conventions#

text

<!-- HTML: Semantic + Comments -->
<header class="site-header">
  <!-- Navigation bar -->
  <nav class="navbar">...</nav>
</header>

/* CSS: BEM Naming + CSS Variables */
:root {
  --primary-color: #3498db;
  --spacing-unit: 8px;
}

.navbar__link--active {
  color: var(--primary-color);
}

// JavaScript: Modern ES6+ Syntax
const toggleMenu = () => {
  document.body.classList.toggle('menu-open');
};

Limitations#

• Pure front-end technologies only: HTML, CSS, JavaScript (no React/Vue/jQuery)
• No backend functionality: No database, API, or server-side rendering
• Image placeholders: Use placeholder services (e.g., placeholder.com, picsum.photos)
• Copyright compliance: Do not copy original site text content, trademarks, or sensitive information
