Excaliarch

Excaliarch is a set of tools and methods that use Excalidraw to create, maintain, and exploit Archimate content.

Rationale and Scope

The goal of the Excaliarch is to speed up and improve the accuracy of archimate models and their resulting deployments.

Spoiler: excaliarch relies on Claude 4 sonnet to convert archimate content in excalidraw to runnable software.

Ultimately, we hope Excaliarh will cover the deloyment of any software resources or data assets that you can model in Archimate, but initially we focus on services to support data and integration products, namely:

• physical schemas for persistent stores
• the data that goes in the persistent stores
• APIs

Quick-start demo

1. Pre-requisites
2. excalidraw + template
3. archimate instructions
4. deployment target and matching configuration file
5. Claude 4 with this prompt file
6. excalidraw
7. open the demo file
8. setup the deployment target (postgres? swagger?)
