What it does
Archify is a "skill", a set of instructions you add to an AI agent such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or OpenCode. You describe something in plain words, like how a website handles a request or a travel plan, and the agent produces an interactive web page with a diagram you can explore.
You can keep refining it by chatting: add a step, highlight a path or switch to a light theme. It can also read a software project and draw its structure, with links back to the source code.
Another mode builds an "explainer": the answer first, then one panel per question with tables, steps, charts and diagrams. Results are a single HTML file you can share or export as an image or PDF.
Who it's for
Developers, architects, teachers and anyone who explains systems or plans and already uses an AI coding agent.
Can I use it without coding?
