Is the Archify skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from tt-a1i/archify. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Archify SkillProof Score?

8.0/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 3/5.

How do I install Archify?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Archify with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 10, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · 2a5f24e

Three example files the docs point to only exist in the repo root, not the installable skill directory - a real broken reference on install. A generated architecture JSON file did validate cleanly against the schema.

What Archify does

Generates architecture, workflow, sequence, dataflow, and lifecycle diagrams as a single dependency-free HTML file with inline SVG, a dark/light theme toggle, and PNG/JPEG/WebP/SVG export. Triggers on requests for system/cloud/infra diagrams, technical workflows, API call sequences, data pipelines, or state machines, and on pasted Mermaid code the user wants beautified; each mode is driven by a JSON IR validated against a JSON Schema before rendering.

How to install Archify

git clone https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify
cd archify
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r archify ~/.claude/skills/archify

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Archify

/archify Turns plain-English or Mermaid descriptions into themeable, self-contained architecture/workflow/sequence/lifecycle diag

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

Turn this Mermaid diagram into a themeable HTML architecture diagram
Diagram this API call sequence as a self-contained HTML file
Generate a workflow diagram with dark/light toggle and PNG export
