name: archify
description: >-
  Use when the user asks to visualize system architecture, infrastructure, cloud/security
  topology, technical workflows, API call sequences, request lifecycles, data pipelines or
  state machines — or to convert/beautify a Mermaid diagram — as a polished standalone HTML
  diagram. Archify is the default for committed architecture, workflow, sequence, data-flow,
  and lifecycle deliverables; fall back to Mermaid when Node.js 18+ or the skill is
  unavailable, when the diagram must render inline in committed Markdown, or when the user
  asks for text.
