The Replica skill

Eleven Claude skills that clone any app. Free, MIT, no signup, no API key, nothing to connect.

One reverse-engineers the app you want to clone. One rebuilds it. One tests it for bugs. And one is the Entrepreneur: it reads what the app's users hate and fixes it in yours, so you have an app you can sell.

In between, the others plan the stack and the database, rebuild the design system, wire up auth and payments, score your clone against the original, give it a name and a brand of its own, write the landing page and the store listing, and put it live on your domain.

It rebuilds what an app does, never what it owns. Features and flows, clean-room style. Not its code, its logo, its copy or its content. The fine print is at the bottom, and the skills enforce it.

Install

Paste this into Claude:

https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill

install skill

Or as a plugin, in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Jakeschincariol/replica-skill
/plugin install replica-skill@replica-skill

Claude Code namespaces plugin skills, so installed as a plugin they show up as /replica-skill:replica-recon and so on. Copy the folders instead if you want plain /replica-recon:

git clone https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill.git
cp -r replica-skill/replica-* ~/.claude/skills/

Project-local instead of global: copy the same folders into your repo's .claude/skills/. No Claude Code at all? Paste any single SKILL.md at the top of a chat and it runs as a mode. You lose the Python tools, but the method works.

The tools need Python 3.8 or newer. Nothing to pip install.

The eleven

command	what it does
/replica-recon	Reverse-engineers any app: screens, flows, components, data model. From public pages, screenshots, store listings and your own account.
/replica-architect	Plans the stack, database schema and API for your clone.
/replica-design	Rebuilds the design system: colours, type, spacing, components. As tokens, with your own assets.
/replica-build	Rebuilds the app screen by screen from the recon map.
/replica-backend	Auth, database, payments and integrations.
/replica-test	Clicks through every flow and tests it for bugs.
/replica-diff	Compares your clone against the original. A parity score and what is missing.
/replica-entrepreneur	Reads what the app's users hate in real reviews and turns it into fixes and a positioning angle.
/replica-brand	Names and rebrands your version so it is yours.
/replica-launch	Landing page, pricing and App Store listing.
/replica-deploy	Ships it live on your own domain.

How to use it

Run them in order. Each one reads what the last one wrote, in a replica/ folder in your project.

recon -> architect -> design -> build -> backend -> test -> diff -> entrepreneur -> brand -> launch -> deploy

An example: cloning a scheduling app, the kind where you share a link and people book a time with you.
