Archify, a 67k-star open-source skill, turns one-line system descriptions into interactive diagrams
alex_verem · x · 2026-09-19
Archify, an open-source tool with 66,000+ GitHub stars, works as a skill for AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and OpenCode: describe a software system in one line and it produces a single, clickable HTML file you can share. Pointed at an existing codebase, the agent reads the code and Archify maps how components connect.
Five highlights the author liked:
- Five diagram types, including system maps and step-by-step workflows
- Click any component to trace what connects to it
- Layout validation before delivery, so arrows don't pile up and labels don't overlap
- Dark/light themes with export to PNG, SVG, or short video
- Iterative plain-chat editing, e.g. "add Redis" or "highlight the rollback path"
Technically, agents produce typed JSON IR that Archify deterministically compiles to HTML/SVG. No codebase is required — a plain description is enough.
