How to Install Archify Multi-Agent Support for Cursor, Codex, Claude-Code, and opencode

Use the skills CLI with the --agent flag to install Archify as a skill for your target AI agent—choose --global for system-wide access or omit it for project-local installation.

This guide walks you through installing Archify's multi-agent support as implemented in tt-a1i/archify. Archify ships as a Skill that integrates with four supported agents: Cursor, Codex, Claude-Code, and opencode. The skills CLI handles agent-specific installation paths automatically.

Prerequisites

• Node.js and npm installed for running npx commands
• One or more supported AI agents installed locally (Cursor, Codex CLI, Claude-Code, or opencode)

Installation Methods for Each Agent

Cursor Agent Installation

Install Archify globally for Cursor with an independent copy of the skill files:

npx -y skills add tt-a1i/archify \
    --skill archify \
    --agent cursor \
    --global \
    --copy \
    --yes

According to the source code in README.md at lines 34 and 105, this command registers Archify with Cursor's runtime and copies all skill files so they don't depend on the npm cache.

The quick-start documentation is also available via the agent-aware URL: https://tt-a1i.github.io/archify/start.html?agent=cursor&type=architecture【README.md#L34】.

Codex Agent Installation

For a project-local installation with Codex:

npx skills add tt-a1i/archify \
    --skill archify \
    --agent codex

As documented in README.md at line 111, invoke Archify with: npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent codex【README.md#L111】.

Claude-Code and opencode Agents

The same pattern applies to the remaining supported agents. The CLI recognizes --agent claude-code and --agent opencode as valid targets【README.md#L116】.

# Claude-Code

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent claude-code

# opencode

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent opencode

Using Archify After Installation

Once installed, run Archify through the skills use command with your selected agent:

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent cursor   # Cursor

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent codex    # Codex

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent claude-code # Claude-Code

npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent opencode   # opencode

Alternatively, open the web-based agent switcher at https://tt-a1i.github.io/archify/start.html?agent=cursor&type=architecture to select from all four agents interactively【README.md#L116】.

Optional: DeepSeek Harness Integration

For DeepSeek Harness support, install the community plugin separately:

dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@0.1.0

This command is documented in README.md at lines 114 and 265, and in integrations/deepseek-harness/README.md【README.md#L114】【README.md#L265】.

Key Configuration Files

Understanding these source files helps troubleshoot installation issues:

• archify/SKILL.md — Defines the skill contract and lists all supported agents
• README.md — Primary installation documentation (lines 34, 105, 111, 116)
• archify/package.json — Declares the npm package name tt-a1i/archify used by the CLI
• integrations/deepseek-harness/README.md — DeepSeek Harness setup instructions

Summary

• Archify multi-agent support is installed via the skills add CLI with the --agent flag
• Four agents supported: Cursor, Codex, Claude-Code, and opencode
• Global vs. local: Use --global --copy for system-wide access; omit for project-specific installs
• Execution: Run with npx skills use tt-a1i/archify@archify --agent <agent>
• DeepSeek Harness: Separate plugin installation via dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@0.1.0

Frequently Asked Questions

What agents does Archify multi-agent support include?

Archify supports Cursor, Codex, Claude-Code, and opencode as documented in README.md line 116 and archify/SKILL.md. The web-based agent switcher at tt-a1i.github.io/archify/start.html provides a visual interface for selecting among all four.

Do I need to install Archify separately for each agent?

Yes. Each agent maintains its own skill runtime location. Run npx skills add with the appropriate --agent flag for each agent you want to use. The --global --copy flags ensure the skill files are duplicated and available system-wide.

What's the difference between global and local installation?

Global installation (--global --copy) places skill files in a system-wide location and creates an independent copy, making Archify available across all projects. Local installation registers the skill only for the current project without copying files, relying on the npm cache.

Can I use Archify with DeepSeek models?

Yes, through the optional DeepSeek Harness integration. Install the community plugin with dsh plugin --profile web add @tt-a1i/archify-dsh@0.1.0 as documented in integrations/deepseek-harness/README.md【README.md#L265】.
