What does archify do?
archify is a skill that has your coding agent draw technical diagrams. You give it a description, a plan or a repository, and it returns a single HTML file containing an interactive diagram.
The agent does not write the page freehand. It produces a typed JSON description of the diagram, and bundled validators check schema, layout and routes before the file is delivered. The viewer inside the file lets a reader focus a node, follow upstream and downstream paths, trace a route and switch themes.
archify is a general agent skill, not a DSH-specific plugin. Its main targets are Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode; DeepSeek Harness is supported through an opt-in community integration.
Core features
- Ten diagram types: Architecture, Workflow, Sequence, Data Flow, Lifecycle, ERD, Class, Tree, Timeline and Waterfall.
- Validation before delivery: schema, layout, HTML/SVG and route checks must all pass before a new file replaces the last good one.
- Interactive viewer: node focus, upstream and downstream reach, route tracing and role comparison, all based on the nodes and relationships the agent authored.
- Source evidence: on request, Architecture nodes link to Git-verified files and line ranges pinned to one commit.
- Portable output: one HTML file, with image export and shareable links to a specific view.
- Localized interface: English, Simplified and Traditional Chinese, Spanish, Korean and Arabic are bundled.
How to use archify
In Cursor, Claude Code, Codex or OpenCode, send your agent this message and let it install the skill:
Install Archify for me by reading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tt-a1i/archify/main/llms.txtIn DeepSeek Harness, add the community integration package named in the README instead:
dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@1.1.0Ask for a diagram from a description:
Use Archify to draw: Browser -> API -> Redis cache -> PostgreSQL fallback.Or open a repository and ask the skill to map it:
Use the archify skill to map this repository's runtime architecture.Refine the result in chat until it reads the way you want.
The README describes the DSH integration as built for the developer-preview release @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.2.1-rc.2, with Node ^22.19.0 or >=24.0.0.
Questions about archify
How do I install archify?
Run dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@1.1.0 in a terminal. The --profile value names the profile the plugin is added to, so change it if you run a different one.
Is archify free to use?
The source is public at tt-a1i/archify under the Apache-2.0 license. Check that license if you plan to use it commercially.
Is archify still maintained?
The last code push was on Nov 11, 2026, and the latest release is v3.2.0. We last refreshed this data on Nov 12, 2026. DeepSeek Harness changes quickly, so a plugin untouched for months may no longer load.
Has Plugin DSH tested archify?
No. It is listed from its public repository and we have not installed it. Read the source and recent issues before you run it.
Is archify a DSH-only plugin?
No. It is an agent skill for Cursor, Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode. DeepSeek Harness support comes through a separate community integration package, which the README says is not an official DeepSeek product.
Can archify convert my existing Mermaid diagrams?
No. The README lists automatic Mermaid parsing, general-purpose auto-layout, hosted sharing and WYSIWYG editing as intentionally outside the current scope.
How do I change a diagram after it is generated?
Keep talking to the agent with focused requests such as add Redis, move auth to the left or highlight the rollback path. Archify keeps the typed source so the agent can edit the same diagram.
