tt-a1i/archify

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

Official channels： archify.si · GitHub
Archify 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.

npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g

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.

Easy to extend. More ways to make it yours.

_{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.

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.

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.

Choose the right diagram

Ten diagram types, architecture comparisons, and examples

| Type | Best for | Include in your prompt | |---|---|---| | Architecture | Components, services, storage, boundaries | Scope, core components, primary path | | Workflow | CI/CD, approvals, tool calls, runbooks | Participants, order, branches, exceptions | | Sequence | API calls, cache fallback, auth, async traces | Callers, callees, returns, timing | | Data Flow | Pipelines, lineage, PII, consumers | Sources, transforms, stores, boundaries | | Lifecycle | States, retries, waits, terminal outcomes | States, events, retry and cancellation paths | | ERD | Database schemas: tables, columns, keys, cardinality | Tables, every column with its type, primary/foreign/unique keys, relationship cardinality | | Class | Classes, interfaces, selected members, type relationships | Types, key members, inheritance and implementations, composition, dependencies | | Tree | Single-parent hierarchies: repositories, modules, capability breakdowns | Root, levels, what each branch contains | | Timeline | When things happened: incident reviews, release histories | Timestamps with time zone, events, source lanes, whether times are observed or illustrative | | Waterfall | Where the time went in one request or agent run | Spans, start times and durations, nesting, whether timings are measured or illustrative |

Architecture's optional deployment-ownership profile fails closed when authored owners, region placement, private database scope, or named crossings are missing; it is never implicit and does not inspect live infrastructure. See the checked deployment proof.

For design or PR review, Architecture Delta compares validated Before / Delta / After snapshots with a machine receipt. Select an authored change or play one finite, viewer-only Review; it infers no impact, risk, or merge safety.

node archify/bin/archify.mjs compare architecture base.json head.json architecture-delta.html --json

Not sure which one fits? Use the interactive scenario guide, or ask the zero-dependency CLI:

node archify/bin/archify.mjs guide "Show an API request with Redis cache miss"
node archify/bin/archify.mjs guide "Map Kafka topics, consumer groups, replay, and DLQ" --json

Workflow keeps the happy path clear across lanes:

Sequence explains one interaction over time:

Data Flow makes movement and sensitivity boundaries explicit:

Lifecycle separates progress, waits, retries, and terminal outcomes:

New in 3.1: ERD, Class, Tree, Timeline and Waterfall.

ERD keeps tables, every column and key, and relationship cardinality together:

Class shows contracts, selected members, and which types depend on or implement them:

Tree shows single-parent containment, such as a capability breakdown:

Timeline places events on one proportional clock, with a lane per source:

Waterfall shows where the time went across nested and overlapping spans:

Explore these examples: ERD · Class · Tree · Timeline · Waterfall. The Timeline and Waterfall examples use illustrative data; treat timestamps or durations as real only when they come from logs or traces.
