archify

Turn anything you want to understand, plan, or share into an interactive visual.

Start with an idea, a question, or a plan. Describe it to your AI agent, and Archify turns it into an interactive HTML you can explore, customize, and share. From travel itineraries and learning maps to complex systems—make it your own.

See what the community is creating—and imagine what you could make next.

One sentence. Your repo, mapped. Watch the 35-second demo: explore the diagram, follow source links, and trace a path. Try the interactive examples ↗

Install, then describe your idea

Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. See installation options below for additional integrations.

Send this to your agent:

Use Archify to diagram a web request: Browser calls the API,
the API checks Redis, and a cache miss queries PostgreSQL and fills the cache.

Then continue: “Add authentication”, “Highlight the cache-miss path”, or “Switch to the light theme”.

No repository is required: start with a description, or ask your agent to read a repository for a source-backed architecture diagram.

_{COMMUNITY STORIES · Selected examples shared by users}

Keep building after the diagram is generated. Archify is open source and its output is standalone HTML. Ask your agent to adapt it, connect useful links, or add interactions for your own workflow. Community creations already span team collaboration, travel planning, legal citation checks, contract review, and incident retrospectives. These are just a few examples.

One user started with a hand-drawn multi-agent architecture, turned it into an interactive diagram, then added a Kimi execution pool through conversation. Others asked their agent to read a project and brought the resulting architecture into Feishu or DingTalk for team discussion.

Another user turned a Shanghai CityWalk guide into a four-day itinerary: switch between days, inspect a stop, and jump to Amap, Xiaohongshu, or Dianping. The author also added arrival check-ins and stop notes, turning the itinerary into a small tool to use during the trip. These extensions were added by the community author for this particular artifact.

Download it. Open it. Explore it.

The output is a self-contained HTML file. Download it and open it in your browser to use the node details and path exploration included in that artifact. No Archify installation is needed to view it. Send the HTML to someone else and the interactions go with it; external websites and map links need a network connection.

Preview

Themes, exports, and share cards

Same diagram, two themes, one click to switch:

Dark	Light

The Export menu copies PNG to the clipboard and downloads static or motion formats:

After tracing a route, Export → Route Share Card downloads that authored path as a 1200×630 PNG with the full diagram retained for context.

After tracing authored Upstream or Downstream reach, Export → Reach Share Card captures that exact reading without claiming runtime impact.

Open examples/web-app.html locally to try the complete viewer.

Quick start

Current stable version: v3.0.1. See Changelog.

1. Install

npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g

npx -y skills add tt-a1i/archify --skill archify --agent cursor --global --copy --yes

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent codex

Stay updated

• Get release notifications: select Watch → Custom → Releases at the top of this GitHub repository. Starring the project does not subscribe you to release notifications.
• See what changed: Release notes.
• Use a feed reader: Subscribe to the release feed.

Installations with the update checker also check for newer stable releases during diagram delivery and can show a reminder. Older installations without the checker need a manual update to gain this feature. You choose whether and when to upgrade; Archify never installs updates automatically.

2. Start from a description — no repository required

Use Archify to draw: Browser -> API -> Redis cache -> PostgreSQL fallback.

For source evidence, open a repository and ask:

Analyze this repository, then use archify to create a high-level runtime architecture diagram.
Show 8–12 core components, one primary path, external dependencies, and trust boundaries.
Put supporting detail in cards instead of adding more edges.

3. Refine in chat

Continue with focused requests such as add Redis, move auth to the left, or highlight the rollback path. Archify keeps the typed source available for targeted iteration.

Explore and share the output

Stable links can restore #focus=<id>, #focus=<id>&reach=upstream|downstream, #relation=<id>, #route=<source>~<target>, and #lens=<kind>~<kind>. Reader-driven motion is finite, respects prefers-reduced-motion, and never enters canonical exports.

The complete generation and viewer contract lives in archify/SKILL.md.
