ArchByte: architecture maps generated from source

Reads code, infrastructure configuration, and documentation. Updates the graph when files change. Provider credentials stay local.

For Engineers, Architects, and Product Managers.

ArchByte

ArchByte uses Claude Code to read source code, infrastructure configuration, and documentation, then generate an interactive architecture map. File changes update the map without a rebuild and nodes link back to their source files.

Install ArchByte and connect a model provider. API keys remain on your machine; ArchByte does not store or transmit provider credentials.

“The map updated in real-time. Open a file, make a change, and the architecture reflects it. No rebuild.”

Features

Architecture from code, not memory. Living diagrams, not stale PNGs.

Multi-Agent Analysis

8 core AI agents analyze your codebase in parallel - structure, docs, infra, tech stack, connections, environments, events, and validation.

Interactive Web UI

React Flow canvas with drag-and-drop, real-time search, layer filtering, sequence flow playback, and VS Code integration.

Fitness Rules

Built-in and custom architectural rules: no layer bypass, max connections, no orphans, no circular deps. CI/CD integration with --ci flag.

Drift Detection

Compare architecture snapshots over time. Catches added/removed components, new violations, and density changes before they compound.

Multi-Format Export

Mermaid, PlantUML, Graphviz DOT, Markdown, JSON, PNG, SVG. No lock-in - embed in GitHub, Confluence, ADRs, or custom tooling.

Continuous Monitoring

Patrol daemon re-analyzes on a schedule or git changes. Tracks health over time with sparklines and violation history.

Technology Stack

CLI-native and IDE-integrated. Bring your own key; credentials stay on your machine.
