clone-app — Clone Feasibility Analyzer (Claude Code skill)

Give it a Google Play URL. It downloads the APK, reverse engineers the tech stack and APIs (via the sibling android-reverse-engineering plugin), analyzes the app's store presence, estimates AI-assisted build effort (in AI Sprints) and monthly infrastructure cost, judges market viability (GO / CONDITIONAL GO / NO GO), and — if you approve — generates a full implementation plan.

Requirements

The android-reverse-engineering plugin (ships in this same repo).
Java JDK 17+ and jadx (the RE plugin auto-installs jadx if missing).
curl, Python 3 (stdlib only), unzip.

Install

/plugin marketplace add /path/to/this/repo
/plugin install android-reverse-engineering@android-reverse-engineering-skill
/plugin install clone-app@android-reverse-engineering-skill

Usage

/clone-app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.example.app

Or natural language: "Analyze this Play Store app for cloning: ".

The skill pauses twice for your input: choosing the clone stack, and deciding whether to generate the implementation plan.

Output

./work/<package>/

Keeping the RE plugin up to date

This repo is a fork. To pull upstream improvements:

git remote add upstream https://github.com/SimoneAvogadro/android-reverse-engineering-skill.git
git pull upstream master

The clone-app plugin lives in its own directory, so upstream updates to android-reverse-engineering merge cleanly.
