Overview
Archify is a revolutionary agent skill designed to transform your codebase or system descriptions into stunning, interactive, and verifiable architectural diagrams. Directly within your chat interface, Archify generates polished system maps that are not only beautiful but also trustworthy and shareable, complete with motion and crisp export capabilities.
Key Features
- Versatile Diagram Types: Generate Architecture, Workflow, Sequence, Data Flow, and Lifecycle diagrams, each tailored to specific visualization needs.
- Interactive & Shareable Output: Diagrams are self-contained HTML files, allowing for effortless presentation, sharing, and interaction.
- Visual Richness: Offers five preset themes, dark/light modes, built-in brand marks, and subtle, finite motion to enhance understanding.
- Pre-Merge Architecture Review: Compare architectural snapshots in a "Before / Delta / After" format, highlighting precise changes like additions, removals, modifications, and rerouted paths.
- Grounded & Verifiable Interactions: Search nodes, optionally open revision-verified source code, trace upstream/downstream reach, compare roles, and play guided stories, all without inventing topology.
- Trustworthy Exports: Produces typed JSON Intermediate Representation (IR) with deterministic checks, ensuring self-contained HTML, PNG, SVG, WebM, and 1200x630 share cards.
- Integrated with AI Agents: Seamlessly integrates with Raven, Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode for a streamlined AI-assisted workflow.
Typical Use Cases
- Visualize Complex Systems: Transform abstract codebases or system descriptions into clear, interactive maps for better understanding and communication.
- Streamline Code Reviews: Review architecture changes before merging with detailed "Before / Delta / After" comparisons.
- Enhance Documentation: Generate beautiful, embeddable diagrams for READMEs, wikis, and presentations.
- Onboard New Team Members: Provide clear visual guides to system architecture, workflows, and data flows.
- Debug and Trace Issues: Easily trace component interactions, identify bottlenecks, and understand data paths.
- Design and Plan Systems: Visualize proposed architectures and workflows to identify potential issues and ensure alignment.
