Arqulat Arc is a Visual Studio Code extension that acts as a visual architecture layer, working alongside your existing AI agents (like GitHub Copilot Chat or other AI extensions) to automatically generate, render, and edit beautiful system architecture diagrams.
Features
Auto-Map Workspace: Scans your entire project and automatically generates a comprehensive, high-level system architecture diagram showing services, databases, and dependencies.
Generate Custom Diagrams: Create focused diagrams based on specific instructions and the files you currently have open.
Native Arc Renderer: Intercepts arqulat-arc markdown code blocks and renders them beautifully inside VS Code's native Markdown Preview.
Bring Your Own Agent: Integrates seamlessly with your preferred chat participant in VS Code.
Usage
Open the Arqulat Arc panel from the Activity Bar (look for the "A" icon).
Ensure the Arc Renderer toggle is switched ON.
Select your preferred AI agent from the dropdown.
Click Auto-Map Workspace to map your whole project, or enter instructions and click Generate Custom Diagram.
Once the AI generates the arqulat-arc code block, insert it into any .md file.
Open VS Code's Markdown Preview (Ctrl+Shift+V or Cmd+Shift+V) to see your interactive architecture diagram!
Requirements
You must have an AI chat extension installed (such as GitHub Copilot Chat) that registers itself as a chat participant in VS Code.
