## Description
Archify is an open-source developer tool for creating AI-generated architecture diagrams without letting your coding agent jump straight from a prompt to a polished but potentially inaccurate picture. 

In this video, I install Archify as an Agent Skill, connect it to a real codebase, and test how it works with coding agents. We generate an interactive architecture map for a specific code path, look at how Archify uses typed JSON, strict validation, repository evidence, source references, interactive HTML, architecture diffs, and structured diagram modes.
