Webflow copy paste—convert to Craft or local?

There a lot of templates and libraries built on Webflow. For example, Relume is nice for quick AI wireframing. Webstudio could leverage these more effectively if the copy/paste process was smoother with the Craft ecosystem. Most users coming from Webflow's ecosystem will have "messy" sites that aren't compatible with Craft. I have three ideas:
1 - Convert to Craft option for Client-First projects and major design systems (Anything non-standard isn't converted)
2 - Convert to local option for styles that aren't repeated
3 - Don't add WF class names to the navigator, to reduce confusion & revisions

I can't tell you how to build it, but I think there is a big opportunity to work with the old to ease users into the new.

The learning we had as we built copy-paste is that not only all wf projects are a mess, client-first is a mess too and it would be really hard to convert. All of this is because of WF combo class system, essentially naming client-first uses is a workaroudn
it would be alot of precious resources spent on making this work perfectly well.
already regretted the idea as I was building copy-paste
sounds nice in theory to be able to copy-paste, but when you see how mcuh stuff is messy or can't be copy-pasted at all, you start realizing its not such a good idea
maybe AI will help cleaning things up, we will see
