Use Cases & Benefits
- Generate polished architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle diagrams from plain-English descriptions with theme toggling and multi-format export.
- Provides ultra-crisp native 4× resolution raster exports and dual-theme self-contained SVGs that adapt to system dark/light preferences automatically.
- Use for creating system architecture diagrams describing components, services, and cloud resources without design skills.
- Use for visualizing technical workflows like request lifecycles, approvals, and CI/CD pipelines with semantic swimlanes and colors.
- Use for illustrating data pipelines, event flows, and state machines with clear transitions and retry paths in a shareable HTML file.

From the README
Generate beautiful architecture, technical workflow, sequence, data-flow, and lifecycle diagrams in chat. Switch dark / light. Copy to clipboard or export crisp up-to-4× PNG / JPEG / WebP / SVG.
Archify is an agent skill for Claude, Codex CLI, and opencode. It turns a plain-English description of your system or process into a polished, self-contained technical diagram — a single HTML file you can open, toggle themes on, copy to the clipboard, and export at maximum resolution.
Same diagram, two themes, one click to switch:
The Export menu — Copy PNG to clipboard plus 4 download formats (all raster exports at up to 4× source resolution):
Live example:
examples/web-app.html— open in a browser, press T to toggle theme, E to open Export. Append?theme=lightor?openExport=1to the URL for deterministic screenshots.Workflow is not trying to replace every general-purpose flowchart. It is a technical communication diagram: swimlanes, semantic colors, a clear happy path, and secondary async / approval / trace paths.
