Teknium 2feb546828 feat(skills): archify joins the optional-skills catalog as an upstream-maintained stub

tt-a1i/archify (MIT, 57k stars) turns a typed JSON spec into validated,
self-contained interactive HTML diagrams (architecture / workflow /
sequence / dataflow / lifecycle) with a 9-check validate/deliver receipt,
Mermaid import and PNG/SVG/WebM export. The upstream repo already ships a
complete skill directory (archify/), so this follows the impeccable
pattern: a catalog stub whose metadata.hermes.upstream pointer makes
`hermes skills install official/creative/archify` pull the live tree
through OptionalSkillSource._fetch_from_upstream. Nothing executable is
vendored and the copy can never go stale.

Docs: generated page, one catalog row, one sidebar line.

Credit: tt-a1i (upstream author). Supersedes the vendored-references
port in #106442.

:::info The following is the complete skill definition that Hermes loads when this skill is triggered. This is what the agent sees as instructions when the skill is active. :::

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/archify pulls 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 doctor confirms the install; no npm install is 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.
