Score: 6.5/10 (Innovation: 5, Technical: 7, Documentation: 8, Utility: 6)

Archik is a CLI tool and YAML format for defining system architecture diagrams that can be rendered interactively or as SVG, and integrates with Claude Code to keep diagrams in sync with code. Its use of YAML as a shared vocabulary between developers and AI agents is a practical, own-approach solution to the problem of diagram drift.

Target audience: backend devs, devops
