Archify
Turns a plan, a spec, or a codebase into an interactive architecture diagram.
Use it for
Understanding an unfamiliar codebase's structure
Skip it if
Pixel-perfect diagrams; it optimises for comprehension
What it is
A single skill with a narrow, testable job: read a repository or a design note and emit a diagram you can click through instead of a wall of arrows in chat. Useful in the middle of a refactor, when the argument is about structure rather than syntax. Output quality tracks how much of the codebase the agent is allowed to read.
Install
Clone the repository, then copy the skill folder into your agent's skills directory — ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code. Skills are plain files: no build step, no daemon.
git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify.git
How to judge it
Read the SKILL.md before you install. A good skill states when it applies, what it must not do, and how to verify the result. A skill that only lists adjectives will change the agent's tone without improving its output — skip those.
