Archme

A code abstraction tool that scans a codebase and turns it into permanent C4 and sequence diagrams, keeping them up to date on each commit. Instead of reviewing a 10k-line coding PR, users review a ~30-line change to the diagrams. Runs locally via an npm CLI (@archme/cli) so code never leaves the machine.

What it addresses

Code is no longer the right medium for understanding and collaboration in the era of AI and 10k-line pull requests, making large code reviews impractical.

    “I built a new abstraction layer for code (https:// www.archme.io), as I believe it's no longer the right medium for understanding and collaboration in the era of AI and 10k LOC PRs. It scans your codebase, turns it into permanent c4 & sequence diagrams and keeps them up to date on each commit. Then, instead of reviewing a 10k line coding PR, you review a 30 line change to sequence and C4 diagrams.”
