# Website Cloner A repeatable method to mirror a live website into a self-contained local copy that renders offline — verified page-by-page in a real browser until zero local assets are missing. Works for static sites, single-page apps (React/Vue/Angular/webpack builds), and multi-page sites. Use it two ways: 1. **Faithful offline mirror** — an exact, working copy of the site (for archiving, a reference, or a base to edit). 2. **Rebuild-better starting point** — clone first to capture every asset and the exact design, then improve it (see `references/rebuild-better.md`). > **Read `references/legal-and-ethics.md` before cloning anything you don't own.** Cloning a site you have no rights to can infringe copyright/trademark. For client work, get written authorization first — use `templates/client-intake.md` and `templates/authorization-to-clone.md`. --- ## When to use Trigger on requests like: "clone this website", "copy this site", "mirror utiva.io offline", "replicate this competitor's landing page", "download the whole site so it works offline", "recreate this design but better", "my client wants a copy of X." If the user wants a *brand-new* design (not based on an existing live site), this skill is the wrong tool — build from scratch instead. --- ## The method (overview) ``` 0. SCOPE → confirm target URL, rights, and what "clone" means for this job 1. PROBE → is the site reachable? static or SPA? which domain serves the build? 2. FETCH SHELL→ download the
