Claude Code adds /clone-website with Chrome MCP and git worktrees

An open-source Claude Code template now clones websites from a single /clone-website command using Chrome MCP, design-token capture, and parallel git worktrees. It packages front-end recreation into a repeatable flow, but current proof comes from repo demos rather than broad field use.

Claude Code adds /clone-website with Chrome MCP and git worktrees

TL;DR

Linus Ekenstam surfaced an open-source Claude Code template that turns a single /clone-website command into a full site recreation flow, with the public demo framed around "pixel-perfect" cloning demo thread.
The thread says the skill inspects a target site through Chrome MCP, extracts design tokens and assets, writes component specs, and then rebuilds sections in parallel rather than step by step workflow post.
The implementation detail that makes it feel production-minded is isolated git worktrees that auto-merge after each builder agent finishes its section workflow post.
Ekenstam also said he was about to speak with the builder, Ben, which suggests more details may follow; for now, the evidence is still mostly the repo preview and demo thread rather than broad creator adoption follow-up post.

How does the cloning workflow actually work?

José Gonzales just released his new album, ”Against the Dying of the Light” It’s a master piece. It comes 5 years after Local Valley It’s speaks a lot to our current culture and philosophical meanderings of technological progress. Give it a listen open.spotify.com/album/46XdK0AK…

The pitch is not "AI can mock up a landing page." It is a reusable cloning pipeline. In Ekenstam's description, /clone-website first uses Chrome MCP to inspect the live site, then captures design tokens and assets, generates component specs, and hands sections off to parallel builder agents. The README preview in the post labels it an "AI Website Clone Template" for reverse-engineering sites into pixel-perfect Claude Code rebuilds README preview README screenshot.

I'm just about to sit down and talk to Ben. Anything you want me to ask him?

🚨 Pay attention 🚨 Ben is on the pathway to become the first billion dollar solo founder. In less than 2 months he has grown from 0-4.4M in ARR. This is absolutely insane. We've entered clearly unchartered territory. Unreal . Kudos to Ben, absolute legend.

What is still missing is field evidence. The public posts show the workflow architecture and an interview setup with Ben, but not a slate of finished creator projects, failure cases, or limits across different site types. A supporting repost praising the idea adds enthusiasm, not new technical detail reaction repost.

Core implementation details from the demo thread, plus the current limitation: public proof is still concentrated in the original posts rather than broad creator usage.
