How to check a rebranded clone before you launch it with Replica Skill

Sweep the code for leftover original names and lint the store listing.

Authorization notice. Replica Skill is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Who it is forA developer who has rebranded a clone and needs to confirm nothing of the original remains before publishing.

The problemOriginal names, domains, or colours can hide in code identifiers and listing text.

The outcomeA sweep report of any leftover original references and a listing check against store limits.

What you need first

  • Claude or Claude Code installed
  • Git, to clone the repo or add the plugin
  • Python 3.8 or newer for the tools
  • Public pages, screenshots, or your own account for the app you want to study

Steps

  1. Run python3 replica-brand/sweep.py . --avoid "Original App" from your project root
  2. Remove or rename every hit it reports
  3. Write your store listing to replica/launch/listing.json
  4. Run python3 replica-launch/listing.py replica/launch/listing.json
  5. Fix any store limit or copycat warnings before you deploy

Prompt for your agent

Using the replica-skill repo (github.com/Jakeschincariol/replica-skill), run sweep.py on <project root> avoiding <Original App name> and listing.py on <replica/launch/listing.json>. Expected output: a sweep report and a listing report. Verify that the sweep finds no original name, domain, or colour, including inside identifiers.

Caveat. The README says these checks do not replace the trademark checks, and it is not legal advice, so you still need to check trademarks and talk to a lawyer before launch.
