What does archify do?
archify is a Claude skill that produces standalone HTML diagrams and one-page explainers. Claude picks one of ten types, such as architecture, sequence, dataflow, lifecycle, ERD, class, tree, timeline or waterfall, reads that type's JSON schema and example, and writes a candidate.json in a new .archify folder. It can work from a description, from Mermaid code or from evidence it traces in your repository. One finalize command then validates the file, renders the HTML and runs a real-browser check, and Claude repairs any gate that fails. Diagrams have dark and light themes, motion, and image, SVG or WebM export.
When should you use archify?
Use it when
- Mapping how the services in a codebase talk
- Turning a Mermaid chart into an explorable page
- Drawing a database schema with keys and relations
Skip it when
- You want a live metrics dashboard
- A short text answer is enough
