Agent Skill
Archify skill
archifytt-a1i/archifyarchify/SKILL.md
Create validated architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow, lifecycle/state, ERD, class, tree, timeline, and waterfall diagrams as explorable standalone HTML with dark/light themes, motion and image/SVG/WebM export. Accept requirements or Mermaid; inspect repository evidence for code-backed diagrams. Use when visualizing systems, API calls, pipelines, schemas, histories, timings, or everyday steps, parts, relationships and states. Also turn an answer into a one-page explainer, with the conclusion first, structured panels, native diagrams and charts, when the user asks for a page, an explainer or an answer to share (做成一页, 用页面讲), or proactively when the user's rules opt in with an [archify explainer: ...] line. Not for dashboards.

Install the Archify skill
Skills CLI (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and others)
npx skills add https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify --skill archify
Claude Code, by hand (all projects)
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/tt-a1i/archify.git /tmp/archify mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills cp -R /tmp/archify/archify ~/.claude/skills/archify
For one project only, copy the folder into .claude/skills/ in that project instead. The agent picks it up when a task matches its description.
What it costs your context
Agent Skills load in three steps. Tokens counted with the o200k tokenizer; your model's count will differ a little.
| When | What loads | Cost |
|---|---|---|
| Every session | Name and description | 162 tok |
| When the agent uses it | The SKILL.md instructions | 3,761 tok |
| Only if opened | 179 bundled files (16.9 MB) | varies |
Until it is used, archify costs about 8.4× less than the median MCP server we measured (1,362 tokens on every turn). Installing all 5 skills from tt-a1i/archify would load 401 tokens of descriptions. Skills vs MCP study

Review Archify issues, PRs, or code through value, cost, and impact to support evidence-based maintenance decisions. Use for issue triage, change reviews, and code quality assessments.
87k42 tok idle · 254 in use - archify-tuningtt-a1i/archify
Improve Archify diagram accuracy, visual quality and complete authoring speed with fewer repairs. Use for generation experiments or evaluating changes to layout, routing, diagnostics, authoring instructions and acceptance rules against actual diagrams and agent traces.
87k549 tok idle · 1,704 in use - simplify-codebasett-a1i/archify
Simplification audit or authorized codebase simplification whose stated objective is to remove accidental complexity. Use for evidence-backed deletion or consolidation of dead code, duplicate state, redundant APIs or layers, ownerless abstractions, obsolete compatibility or design records, and over-engineering in any language; also use for 代码简化 or 熵回收. Do not use for general code review, onboarding, style-only refactoring, or performance tuning.
87k93 tok idle · 1,169 in use - test-valuett-a1i/archify
Improve test value and feedback cost when auditing slow, flaky, redundant or brittle tests; choosing tests during implementation; or reviewing test changes before a commit or PR. Keep ordinary implementation and pre-commit use scoped to the affected behavior, not a repository-wide audit.
