Archify

# Archify

Generates interactive diagrams and explanatory pages from codebases or textual plans. It allows AI agents to visualize workflows, architecture, and complex logic for developers and planners.

Made by tt-a1i on GitHub. These notes are Minda's, written from its README; the project's own files and license are in its repository.

## About

What it is: Archify turns text, plans, or codebase analysis into interactive visual files. You can explore, customize, and share these standalone HTML diagrams.

Who it suits: Developers, architects, and planners who need to share structural concepts or workflows.

Where to use it: You can use this with Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and OpenCode.

- Mapping codebases: Turn your existing repository structures into service maps.
- Documenting logic: Visualize abstract ideas or procedural steps as diagrams.
- Explaining incidents: Build step-by-step pages that walk through system failures or performance issues.

How to set it up:

1. Install the tool using your AI agent.
2. Run the provided command to initialize it in your agent chat.

How to use it: Describe the workflow or system to your AI agent. The agent generates an interactive HTML file that you can refine through follow-up prompts.

For newcomers and experts: New users can treat this as a smart sketchpad for converting thoughts into interactive maps. Experts can use it to translate natural language or repository structures into structured visual outputs. It maintains source integrity by allowing you to link directly to code files or specific commits.

Good to know:

- The output is a standalone HTML file that works in any browser.
- It can read your local repository files to inform the diagrams.
- It uses the Apache-2.0 license.
