replica-brand
Names and rebrands an app clone so it is the user's own: name candidates with the trademark, domain, store and handle checks to run, a new palette checked for contrast, a logo brief, a voice guide, and a sweep tool that finds anything of the original left in the codebase. Use when the user says "name my app", "rebrand the clone", "make it mine", "pick a name and colours", "logo brief", "brand voice", "check for leftovers", or after /replica-entrepreneur. Always runs before /replica-launch.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-brand- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads replica-brand automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

replica-brand
Nothing launches under the original's identity. This skill is the line between "a clone" and "your app".
Tool in this folder:
python3 sweep.py . --avoid "Original Name,Its Company" --domains original.com --colors "#006bff"
python3 sweep.py . --config replica/brand.json # same, from the brand file
Writes replica/brand.md and replica/brand.json (avoid, domains,
colors, used by sweep.py, listing.py and replica-deploy).
Step 1: the name
Read the angle from replica/fixes.md. Generate 20 candidates across styles:
descriptive (Booklink), compound (Slotwise), invented (Calvo), metaphor
(Harbor), verb (Book). Then cut to 5 with these filters:
- Not confusingly similar to the original in sound, look or meaning, and not to any other app in the same category. That is the test trademark offices use, so it is the test here. No puns on their name, no "-ly" twin.
- Short, spellable after hearing it once, no awkward meaning in big languages.
- Says something about the angle, or at least does not fight it.
Step 2: the checks, run, not assumed
For each of the 5, a row per check. Mark each to run, or the result with the date it was run. Never write "available" for a check nobody ran.
| check | where |
|---|---|
| US trademark | tmsearch.uspto.gov, the app's class (usually 9 and 42) |
| EU trademark | euipo.europa.eu eSearch, or TMview for many offices |
| Canada | ised-isde.canada.ca trademarks database |
| global | WIPO Global Brand Database |
| domain | whois name.com, or the registrar's search |
| App Store and Play | search the exact name |
| handles | X, Instagram, TikTok, GitHub |
| the web | search "name + category" |
These are screening checks, not legal clearance. Before spending money on the name, a trademark lawyer should do a proper search.
Step 3: palette
A new palette, written into the same token roles replica-design set up. Pick a primary brand hue from a different family than the original's (if theirs is blue, yours is not a nearby blue). Then:
python3 ../replica-design/contrast.py replica/design/tokens.json
Zero AA failures. Add the original's brand colours to brand.json so the
sweep catches any that survive.
Step 4: logo brief
Not a logo, a brief for whoever makes it (the user, a designer, an image model):
- the idea in one line, tied to the name and angle
- mark type: wordmark, symbol plus wordmark, or monogram
- must work at 16px (favicon) and as a 1024px app icon
- deliverables: SVG, app icon 1024x1024 with no transparency for iOS, favicon set, social image 1200x630
- must not resemble the original's mark: no shared shape, colour pair or letterform trick. Put the original's logo next to the drafts and check.
Step 5: voice
Three words for how it sounds, with what each does not mean ("direct, not blunt"). Five do and don't pairs. Then rewrite the 10 most-seen strings in the clone (sign up, empty states, the main button, the confirmation, the error) in that voice. All fresh, none echoing the original's phrasing.
Step 6: the sweep
Replace every placeholder name, colour and string. Then:
python3 sweep.py . --config replica/brand.json
It searches file contents and file names for the original's name (also inside
identifiers like CalendlyEmbed), domains and colours, skipping
node_modules, build output and the replica/ planning folder. Exit 1 means
something is left. Fix until it says clean. Also check by eye: the favicon,
the page titles, the email templates, the OG image, the app icon.
Output
replica/brand.md (name with checks, palette, logo brief, voice),
replica/brand.json, updated tokens, rewritten strings, and a clean sweep.
Next: /replica-launch.

replica-recon
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Reverse-engineers any app into a recon map: screen inventory, user flows, component list, inferred data model and a feature matrix, from public pages, screenshots, app store listings, help docs and the user's own account. The first step of the Replica pack. Use when the user says "clone this app", "reverse engineer X", "how does X work", "map out X", "what screens does X have", "I want to build my own version of X", "copy this app", or pastes an app's URL or App Store link and wants to rebuild it.
replica-entrepreneur
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Researches the app being cloned and reads what its real users say in public reviews (App Store, Google Play, G2, Capterra, Trustpilot, Reddit, Hacker News, its own feature-request board), then ranks what they hate, what is missing and what is unsolved, turns it into a fix plan for the clone and a positioning angle you can sell. Every quote is real, verbatim and linked. Use when the user says "what do people hate about X", "read the reviews", "how do I make mine better", "find the gap", "what features are missing", "how do I position this", "make it sellable", or after /replica-diff.
replica-test
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Clicks through every flow of an app clone and tests it for bugs: a test plan generated from the recon flows with happy paths and edge cases, Playwright end-to-end tests where possible, a browser click-through where not, and bug reports in a fixed format with severity, steps and evidence. Use when the user says "test my clone", "find bugs", "QA this", "click through everything", "write e2e tests", "does it work", or after /replica-build or /replica-backend.
replica-design
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Rebuilds an app's design system for a clone: colour roles, type scale, spacing, radius, shadows and every component with its states, as design tokens plus component specs, with original assets instead of the target's logos, icons, illustrations or licensed fonts. Includes a WCAG contrast checker. Use when the user says "match the design", "rebuild the design system", "get the colours and fonts", "make it look like X", "design tokens for my clone", or after /replica-architect.
replica-diff
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Compares an app clone against the original: a feature parity score from the feature matrix (weighted by must, should, could) with the missing list in build order, plus a screenshot layout diff that ignores colour so a rebrand does not count against you. Two standard-library Python tools. Use when the user says "how close is my clone", "compare it to the original", "what's missing", "parity check", "diff the screens", "is it ready", or after /replica-test.
replica-build
jakeschincariol/replica-skill
Rebuilds an app screen by screen from the recon map: app shell first, then the core flow as a vertical slice, then every screen with all its states, ticking off the feature matrix as it goes. Writes every line fresh, never the original's code, assets or copy. Use when the user says "build the clone", "build screen S07", "start building", "rebuild this screen", "implement the booking page", or after /replica-design.

reddit-automation
flowkit-labs/skills
Find Reddit threads where people are genuinely asking for what you offer, then draft short, genuinely helpful replies — disclosing your affiliation honestly and naming your product only when it truly answers the question. Two moves: discovery — scan the right subreddits for real needs (recommendation asks, expressed pain, competitor mentions) and rank the few threads where you can actually help; drafting — write from real experience, respect each community's self-promo rules, and keep a human in the loop to review and post. This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
