# rea vs archify

rea and archify share 4 technologies: yaml, parse5, saxes, and Ajv. rea is written in TypeScript and archify in JavaScript.

- [morluto/rea](https://seerepo.com/r/morluto/rea): Reverse engineer anything with agents, from app behavior down to native binaries.
- [tt-a1i/archify](https://seerepo.com/r/tt-a1i/archify): Turn any idea, plan, or codebase into a beautiful interactive diagram. An agent skill for Claude Code, Codex, and more.

## What they share and what sets them apart

- In common: yaml, parse5, saxes, Ajv
- Only in rea: MCP, @clack/prompts, xterm, cairosvg, @xmldom/xmldom, plist, Zod, ajv-formats, har-schema, pino
- Only in archify: None

## Side by side

| | rea | archify |
|---|---|---|
| Size | 1,668,610 lines written, 2,423 code files | 164,588 lines written, 86 code files |
| Who writes it | 16.3% of its commits signed by AI. With Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Factory, GitHub Copilot, and Devin | 77.6% of its commits signed by AI. With Codex, Devin, Claude Code, and Cursor |
| Activity | Last push November 4, 2026, 5,979 commits, 428,191 stars | Last push November 3, 2026, 1,203 commits, 93,396 stars |
| Tests | 3,518 test files. 66.6% of its code files have a test that imports them | 273 test files. 62.8% of its code files have a test that imports them |

- Size: Lines written by people and agents, without generated ones; code files, without tests.
- Who writes it: A commit counts as AI's when it carries its signature: a Co-Authored-By line, its author name or the merge of its branch.
- Activity: From GitHub and its history, on the day SeeRepo read it.
- Tests: The files that test the code, and the share of code files a test imports.
