Archify

An agent skill that turns plain-English system descriptions into interactive technical diagrams

What it is

Archify is an MIT-licensed Agent Skill for generating technical diagrams from plain-English system descriptions. Its product page lists architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow and lifecycle diagrams, with self-contained HTML plus PNG, JPEG, WebP, SVG and WebM exports. The checked page identifies the release as v2.16.0-dev.0 and supports installation for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode.

How to apply

  • Use it from Claude Code or Cursor after describing components and connections, or after asking the coding agent to inspect a repository, then refine the generated diagram through chat.
  • Put the self-contained HTML or a dual-theme SVG into a README, design note or handoff when a static text explanation would hide system boundaries and routes.
  • Choose architecture for topology, workflow for approval or async branches, sequence for call order, data flow for pipelines, and lifecycle for state transitions; see AI Coding & Agents for the surrounding agent workflow.

Limits

  • Features, compatibility, validation results and export quality come from the product's own live page and were not independently exercised.

  • Current package stability, repository maintenance, privacy behavior and suitability for large diagrams were not verified; the checked release is marked as a development version.

  • Pricing is not stated on the checked page.
