Craft Anything: AI studies a site, app or game and rebuilds it
Craft Anything watches a chosen website, app or game the way an ordinary user sees it, then has an AI agent build a similar project from scratch. You end up with a working copy without manually reverse-engineering the layout and logic.
The program inspects a website, app or game — what's visible on screen, or its code too in "Deep" mode — and hands that description to an AI agent, which writes a new project from scratch in the language or engine you ask for.
When it helps
Useful if you already have a coding AI agent set up and want a quick working skeleton of a similar site, game or app, without measuring every element by hand. Not needed if you don't plan to code through an agent at all — the tool itself doesn't write code.
Pros
- Runs on an ordinary laptop — no powerful graphics card needed
- By default only looks at what's visible, never reads the source — less risk of plagiarism
- Checks the copy against the original itself and keeps refining it
- Available via command line and an MCP server, no separate app required
Cons
- Needs Claude Code already set up with its own subscription — it has no model of its own
- Very new project: cloning mobile and desktop apps hasn't been tested yet
- Result quality matches using Claude Code directly, no better
How to set it up — step by step
- 1Open your coding AI agent (Claude Code) in the folder where you want to work
- 2Send the agent the text from the block below
- 3When the agent asks, give it the link to the site you want to recreate
- 4Check how Craft Anything rebuilt the site and ask for fixes if something doesn't match
Text for your agent
Copy this and send it to your agent — Claude Code, Codex, any of them:
Download and install Craft Anything from https://github.com/storytold/craft-anything (the right release build for my OS), open it in Clean room mode and try recreating a simple site from a link I'll give you — show me what you get. Ask me if you need anything from me.
Runs on a regular laptop — no GPU needed, the Rust app itself is light. But you need Claude Code already set up with your own subscription: Craft Anything runs it as the builder rather than bundling its own model.
