UI Copy-Paste

A single operating loop that lets one agent take the UI design of any source — a repo, a live site, a pile of screenshots — and reproduce it faithfully and completely in a different project, across any UI paradigm. It captures the design to disk as a structured spec, makes you understand exactly what it found, then replicates and verifies the copy by looking at both.

The one idea

You cannot copy what you have not measured. A design you can see is not a design you've captured. So the discipline is: capture → spec → confirm → replicate → verify. Extract the source to disk as a complete, structured breakdown FIRST — every token, component, state, layout rule, and pixel-level decision — then build from the spec (never from memory), and prove the copy by putting source and result side by side (never by claiming "it looks right"). Like its sibling deep-dive: disk is the source of truth; context is scratch memory that WILL be lost. Keep durable facts in .uicopy/, re-read them each turn, do one action at a time, and verify before claiming done.

State lives in .uicopy/ (create on first use)
