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

Official channels： archify.si · GitHubArchify is free and open source. Third-party online services and paid plans are operated by their respective providers and do not represent Archify. Service details →

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.

Ask a question, get a one-page answer

Not every answer is one diagram. Ask your agent to answer as a page and Archify builds an explainer: the conclusion first, then one panel per question, with tables, steps, charts, code and validated diagrams.

• Conclusion first. The answer and its reasons lead; every panel takes one question.
• Diagrams that explain. Steps sit beside the diagram they walk through and light its parts as you read. Click any node to open the full interactive view.
• Easy to check. Claims cite numbered sources; repository excerpts are pinned to a commit and open in a source card.
• Easy to share. One HTML file with four styles and light or dark themes. Export a PNG, WebP or JPG long image, or print to PDF. Ask about any panel to get a follow-up your agent can use to revise just that panel.

Use Archify to answer as one page: our API's P99 went from 80 ms to 600 ms
while the mean barely moved. What is the likely cause, and how should we investigate?

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.

Community artifact · Shanghai CityWalk · Four days of routes and place links

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.

Try switching between D1–D4, opening a place card, or following a map link. Times and place information reflect the author’s original itinerary.

Preview

Quick start

Current stable version: v3.2.0. See Changelog.

1. Install

npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g

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.

Why Archify

How it works

Explore and share the output

Stable links can restore #focus=, #focus=&reach=upstream|downstream, #relation=, #route=~, and #lens=~. Live repeats connection flow until paused; semantic previews remain bounded. Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion and never enters canonical exports.

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