Turn any idea, plan, or codebase into a beautiful interactive diagram. An agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, and more.
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 ↗](https://archify.si/gallery.html)
### Install, then describe your idea
Works with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI, and OpenCode. See installation options below for additional integrations.
```bash
npx skills add tt-a1i/archify -g
```
Send this to your agent:
```text
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.
[](https://archify.si/cases/explainer/tls-first-visit.html)
- **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.
```text
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?

Archify traced [`mco-org/mco`](https://github.com/mco-org/mco) at `9f1a1cf` and produced this checked map. **[Open it ↗](https://archify.si/cases/mco-runtime.architecture.html?theme=dark&present=1)** · [trace reach ↗](https://archify.si/cases/mco-runtime.architecture.html?theme=dark#focus=router&reach=downstream) · [typed source](docs/cases/mco-runtime.architecture.json)
### 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.

## 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`](examples/web-app.html) locally to try the complete viewer.
