archify
Agent skill for beautiful, verifiable architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle diagrams—self-contained HTML with motion and crisp export.
Archify is an agent skill that transforms codebases and system descriptions into polished, interactive technical diagrams directly within AI coding assistants. It supports five diagram types (architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle) and produces self-contained HTML files with optional PNG, SVG, and WebM exports. Developers use it to visualize system architecture, review changes before merge, and create shareable technical documentation without leaving their agent chat interface. The skill includes validation, typed JSON intermediate representation, and interactive features like route tracing and upstream/downstream relationship exploration.

archify — FAQ
What is Archify?+
Archify is an agent skill that generates interactive, verifiable technical diagrams from system descriptions or codebases. It integrates with AI coding assistants like Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Raven, and OpenCode to produce self-contained HTML diagrams with optional exports.
How do I install Archify?+
Run 'npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g' to install globally for most agents, or use agent-specific commands. For Raven, extract archify.zip into ~/.raven/workspace/skills. For DeepSeek Harness, use 'dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@0.1.0'.
Which AI clients does Archify work with?+
Archify works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, Raven, OpenCode, and DeepSeek Harness. It can also be uploaded to Claude.ai as a skill or added to project knowledge for prompt-driven fallback.
Does Archify require API keys or external services?+
No, Archify is a zero-dependency skill that runs locally. It requires Node.js but does not need external APIs, API keys, or hosted services. Generated diagrams are self-contained HTML files.
Is Archify free to use?+
Yes, Archify is released under the MIT license and is free to use, modify, and distribute.
What diagram types does Archify support?+
Archify supports five diagram types: Architecture (components and services), Workflow (CI/CD and runbooks), Sequence (API calls and timing), Data Flow (pipelines and lineage), and Lifecycle (states and retries). Each type has a specific schema and validation rules.
