replica-deploy

Ships an app clone live on the user's own domain: a preflight gate (tests green, parity must-haves done, rebrand sweep clean, listing linted, legal pages up), production database and env vars, the host, DNS records for the domain and for email, Stripe live mode, OAuth redirects, monitoring, and mobile builds to TestFlight and Play. Use when the user says "deploy it", "ship it", "put it live", "connect my domain", "go to production", "publish the app", or after /replica-launch.

Install

Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.

npx skills add https://github.com/jakeschincariol/replica-skill --skill replica-deploy
  1. 01

    Install

    Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.

  2. 02

    Describe the task

    Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads replica-deploy automatically when relevant.

  3. 03

    Review the result

    The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

SKILL.md

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.

replica-deploy

Reads everything in replica/. Writes replica/deploy.md (the checklist in preflight.md in this folder, filled in).

The rules

  • Nothing goes live without the user's go. Show the preflight results and ask.
  • The user buys and signs in. Claude never buys a domain, enters a card, types a password or pastes a live key. Claude writes the exact DNS records, env var names and commands; the user does the account steps.
  • Not until it is rebranded. The sweep must be clean. No exceptions.

Step 1: preflight

Run every check and paste the results into deploy.md:

npx playwright test                                                  # replica-test
python3 ../replica-diff/parity.py replica/features.csv               # must-haves done
python3 ../replica-brand/sweep.py . --config replica/brand.json      # exit 0: clean
python3 ../replica-launch/listing.py replica/launch/listing.json     # if shipping to stores
npm run build                                                        # production build passes

(Paths are relative to wherever the pack is installed. Under ~/.claude/skills/ that is ~/.claude/skills/replica-diff/parity.py and so on.)

Plus by hand: no open S1 or S2 bugs, privacy policy and terms pages live (listing every processor), cookie banner if you use non-essential cookies in the EU or UK, account deletion works, the favicon, titles and OG image are yours.

Any failure stops the deploy. Say which and why.

Step 2: production services

  • A separate production project for the database (never the dev one), backups on, migrations run by the deploy, not by hand.
  • Env vars set in the host for production, matching .env.example. Live keys only here.
  • Stripe: switch to live mode, recreate products and prices, add the production webhook endpoint and its signing secret, test one real purchase and refund it.
  • OAuth: add the production domain to every provider's redirect URIs and authorised origins. Google scopes that need verification must be approved, or only test users can sign in.
  • Email: the sending domain verified with the provider.

Step 3: host and domain

Default: Vercel for Next.js (Netlify, Cloudflare Pages, Fly or Render otherwise). Connect the repo so main deploys and pull requests get preview URLs.

The domain, after the user buys it at any registrar:

recordnamevalue
A@the host's apex IP (Vercel: shown in the domain settings)
CNAMEwwwthe host's target (Vercel: cname.vercel-dns.com)
TXT@ or a subdomainthe host's verification value, if asked

Email DNS from the email provider: SPF (TXT), DKIM (CNAME or TXT), and a DMARC record starting at v=DMARC1; p=none; rua=mailto:you@yourdomain then tightened to quarantine once reports are clean. Without these, your confirmation emails go to spam.

Pick one canonical host (apex or www) and redirect the other. HTTPS is automatic on the hosts above; check it.

Step 4: watch it

Error tracking (Sentry or the host's), uptime checks on the home page and the core flow's API, logs kept, analytics (a privacy-friendly one avoids the cookie banner), and an alert to the user's email or phone. Then do the core flow on the live site yourself, and ask the user to do it on their phone.

Step 5: mobile, if there is an app

Expo: eas build then eas submit to TestFlight and Play internal testing. Native: archive in Xcode, upload to App Store Connect; Gradle bundle to Play Console. The user owns the developer accounts ($99 a year for Apple, $25 once for Google). Beta first, then review with the listing from replica-launch.

Output

replica/deploy.md with every check and its result, the live URL, the DNS records set, and what to watch in the first week. The clone is now an app with your name on it.

FAQ

What does the replica-deploy skill do?

Ships an app clone live on the user's own domain: a preflight gate (tests green, parity must-haves done, rebrand sweep clean, listing linted, legal pages up), production database and env vars, the host, DNS records for the domain and for email, Stripe live mode, OAuth redirects, monitoring, and mobile builds to TestFlight and Play.

Which AI agents can use replica-deploy?

Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.

Is replica-deploy safe to install?

No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

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.

Testing & QA677 installs

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.

Frontend & Design674 installs

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.

Frontend & Design669 installs

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.
