UI Reverse Engineering

Category: General · Sub-category: general-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-08

Clone or replicate a live website URL as React + Tailwind. Triggers on "clone <URL>", "copy the hero from <URL>", "make it look like <URL>", "reverse-engineer this layout", "extract the animation from <URL>". Key signal — the user has a reference URL. Outputs React components with real extracted values (getComputedStyle, DOM, JS bundle analysis). Accepts screenshot/video as fallback (Claude Vision approximation). Does NOT apply to general CSS help or building UIs from scratch without a reference.
