Archify (upstream-maintained)
Catalog stub. This entry is maintained upstream at tt-a1i/archify: the project ships a self-contained skill directory (
archify/) with the Node CLI, schemas, renderers, examples and references.hermes skills install official/creative/archifypulls the current tree live from that repo (quarantined and scanned like any hub install) — this directory holds only the catalog metadata, so the vendored copy can never go stale.
Archify turns a small typed JSON spec into a self-contained, explorable HTML
diagram: architecture, workflow, sequence, dataflow and lifecycle
(state machine) types, dark/light themes, pan/zoom, search, relationship
tracing, optional trace motion, and PNG/JPEG/WebP/SVG/WebM export. It accepts
plain-language requirements or pasted Mermaid (flowchart, sequenceDiagram,
stateDiagram) and can read repository evidence when the diagram must reflect
real code. Every candidate goes through a 9-check validate / deliver
receipt, so the output is verifiable rather than eyeballed.
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18+ on
PATH(node bin/archify.mjs doctorconfirms the install; nonpm installis needed inside the skill package). - Installs pull ~200 files (~8 MB, mostly upstream tests and examples) from GitHub; the fetch is pinned to one tree SHA, recorded in the bundle metadata.
- Upstream's "Update awareness" step runs
scripts/check-update.mjs, which reads a release manifest from GitHub and only prints a notice — it never downloads or installs anything. Skip it if outbound calls are unwanted.
After install, the bundled architecture-diagram skill remains the
zero-dependency fallback (it ports the same Cocoon AI lineage archify grew out
of); prefer archify when the user wants validated receipts, Mermaid conversion,
sequence/lifecycle types, or export beyond a single HTML file.
