## What it is
Archify is an agent skill for coding assistants (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Raven) that turns plain-English system descriptions or repositories into polished, interactive, self-contained HTML diagrams. It supports five diagram types (architecture, workflow, sequence, data flow, lifecycle) with validation, motion, and crisp PNG/SVG/WebM export.

## Use cases
- generate architecture diagrams from a repository
- create sequence diagrams from plain English descriptions
- visualize data flow pipelines as interactive HTML
- review architecture changes before merge with before/after comparisons
- export system design diagrams as PNG or SVG for documentation
- map microservices topology and cloud infrastructure visually

## When to choose
- you want beautiful, interactive, self-contained HTML diagrams generated directly in chat by your coding agent
- you need verifiable diagram output with deterministic validation checks and grounded topology
- you want a Mermaid alternative with richer visuals, motion, and share-card exports
- you need to compare architecture snapshots as Before/Delta/After before merging changes

## When to avoid
- you need diagrams rendered inline in Markdown files or plain-text environments
- you prefer lightweight text-based diagram tools without HTML output
- you need diagram types beyond the five supported (e.g., ER diagrams, Gantt charts)
- you don't use any of the supported coding agents and want a standalone GUI app
