Archify: interactive diagrams from an agent skill

Summary

Archify is an agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode that turns an idea, a plan, or a codebase into an interactive diagram in a single self-contained HTML file. It covers architecture, workflow, sequence, data flow, ERD, class, tree, timeline, and waterfall views, plus one-page explainers. It is Apache-2.0 (earlier MIT grants still apply), at v3.2.0 with about 1,750 commits and some 90,000 stars when read on 2026-10-28 (the date above is that reading date, not a release date).

Key points

• Install: npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g installs it for your agents. It goes in ~/.claude/skills/ (or .claude/skills/) for Claude Code and ~/.agents/skills/ for Codex. To try it once in Codex: npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent codex.
• Use: ask the agent to diagram something ("draw the request flow of this repo as a sequence diagram"). The output opens in a browser with light and dark themes.
• Export: PNG to clipboard, long-image PNG, WebP or JPG, print to PDF for explainers, and 1200×630 share cards.
• Update checks only show a reminder and never install anything; set ARCHIFY_UPDATE_CHECK_DISABLED=1 to turn them off.
• Its star count rose by about 4,000 in the week to 2026-10-28. The repo's long commit history suggests real use, but treat the raw count with care.

Why it matters

Diagrams are a fast way to check that an agent understood a codebase or a plan. This skill makes that a one-line request, with output you can share without extra tooling.
