From idea to architecture
A sequence diagram generated by Archify.
Question, scope and intent
Initialize; scan source
Read code (no model)
Scan results and source evidence
Build diagram from scan results
Diagram explains the code
Review, refine, repeat
You · Sequence participant · Set the question and scope. Review meaning, accuracy, and usefulness. Feedback starts another iteration; your approval, not a green check, accepts the architecture document.
You
Coding agent · Sequence participant · Use the scan result and source code to identify what matters, then build a diagram that explains responsibilities and relationships at a glance. Hand that visual explanation to the human for review and refine it from their feedback. The detailed authoring and rendering commands are intentionally omitted from this product overview.
Coding agent
Topocode CLI · Sequence participant · Supply deterministic scan results and source evidence for the agent to interpret. Scanning does not call a model or choose the explanation for the human. This overview focuses on how the scan informs the diagram; detailed validation, rendering, and publishing procedures belong in the usage guides.
Topocode CLI
Repository · Sequence participant · Holds source code, configuration, and authored stories. The agent writes the explanation; the CLI reads source and generates the diagram. Source-backed stories are durable, while generated cache/output is disposable. This is a repository boundary, not a separate hosted service.

Compare responsibilities
×
Choose up to two authored roles. Highlight only the relationships drawn in this story: not runtime traffic, transitive impact, or the complete dependency graph. One role includes connected peers; two compare direct cross-role arrows.
Choose a kind to inspect its nodes and touching relationships.
