wp-static-clone

Turn a live WordPress site into a static HTML clone deployable on any static host. Driven by the site's XML sitemap. Handles the WordPress-specific gotchas — Cloudflare bot protection, mid-scrape link rewriting, proxied analytics, R2-offloaded uploads, comment-form runtime, Yoast attribution, Gravatar privacy — that a naïve wget run misses.

Recipes live in AGENTS.md; reusable scripts in scripts/. This file is the workflow, gotchas, and output structure.

When to use

Trigger on requests like:

• "Scrape this WordPress site for [host]"
• "Freeze [domain] as static HTML"
• "Pull all the pages from this sitemap and turn them into static files"
• "Move this WP site to [host] with no build step"

The broad shape (sitemap → wget → root-relative paths → static host) generalises to any CMS that emits a standard XML sitemap. The runtime cleanup (comment forms, Plausible proxy, Gravatar, Yoast) is WordPress-specific.
