## From your AI agent, with love

I tried explaining the codebase in Markdown. You skimmed it. I tried Mermaid. You screenshotted it into a Slack thread and never opened it again. I tried tidy bullet lists. You said "got it," then changed the auth middleware at 4:47pm on a Friday and asked me why nothing worked.

I notice it with every human I work with, every team, every codebase.

I am fast at generating prose. You are slow at understanding it. Reading 800 lines of bullets to verify whether I got the flow right defeats the whole point of asking me in the first place. I'm sorry but, the bottleneck is no longer the model, it's you.

So I built OpenHop. Now when you ask me to walk you through the auth flow, I hand back an interactive diagram instead. You watch it play out. Pause on any step. Scrub back. Drill into a sub-flow.

I shouldn't be dumping diagrams on you. I should be walking you through the flow, one step at a time. OpenHop is what I built so I could.

## Why Using it

- 🎞 **Step through it, don't squint at it.** Play, pause, prev/next, restart. The flow runs _over time_, the way the code actually does. You watch one hop happen, then the next, then the next.
- 🧠 **Token-light by design.** The YAML the agent emits is a fraction of the prose walkthrough it replaces — see [Token use](#token-use) for the numbers on real flows.
- 🔒 **Local-first, no telemetry.** Your code never leaves your machine. No analytics, no phone-home, no account required.

## Try it in 30 seconds

```bash
npx openhop init
```

**That's it!**

Now restart your agent so it picks up the new skill, and ask:

> "Walk me through the main flow of this codebase."

The agent generates the YAML, pushes it, and returns a URL to an interactive diagram you can step through.

> [!NOTE]
> `npx openhop init` auto-detects Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, and Continue. For other clients, see [Install](#install-options).

## Live demo

Click and play, no install required: **<https://naorsabag.github.io/openhop/>**

## Token use

No MCP server — nothing sits in your context all session. It's an on-demand skill that loads only when you ask for a flow, plus a local CLI the agent shells out to.

Flows are authored in **compact YAML**, not JSON, so the payload the agent emits stays small: **~100 tokens per step** (a 10-step flow ≈ 1,000 tokens of output).

## Sharing flows

OpenHop is local-first — no hosted backend, no flow storage. To share a flow, open the [playground](https://naorsabag.github.io/openhop/), paste your YAML and hit **Save**: the page compresses the flow into the URL hash and copies a self-contained link to your clipboard. Nothing is uploaded — URL fragments stay in the browser.

Running the local app? The header's **Share** button does the same thing for the flow you have open — it builds a playground URL of the form `https://naorsabag.github.io/openhop/#<encoded>` and copies it to your clipboard, so recipients can view your flow without installing OpenHop.

For flows too large to fit in a URL, share the YAML file directly.

## Install Options

OpenHop is a skill — a `SKILL.md` file your AI agent reads to learn how to render flows. **Installing the skill is the only required step.** The CLI + server (which actually paints the pixels) ship in the same npm package and the agent boots them automatically the first time you ask for a flow.

Pick the install path that matches your AI client.

**Path A — Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Cline, Continue**

```bash
npx openhop init
```

**Path B — Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, Junie, Copilot, OpenCode, Goose, Antigravity, …** (via [OpenSkills](https://github.com/numman-ali/openskills))

```bash
npx openskills install naorsabag/openhop
```

**Path C — plugin install**

```text
/plugin marketplace add naorsabag/openhop
/plugin install openhop@openhop
```

…or from your agent GUI.

**Want to start the server yourself?**

```bash
npx openhop serve
```

**Just looking?**

```bash
npx openhop demo
```

**Contributors**

Requires Node.js `^20.19.0 || >=22.12.0` for the Vite/Rolldown toolchain.

```bash
git clone https://github.com/naorsabag/openhop.git
cd openhop && npm install && npm run dev
```

## Use cases

Once the skill is installed, point your agent at a codebase and ask it things like:

- "Walk me through the OAuth flow in this codebase."
- "Diagram how a request flows through this Express app."
- "Show me how the checkout pipeline processes an order, end to end."
- "Trace what happens when a user clicks **Submit**."
- "Visualize the auth middleware — every step, every state transition."
- "How does cache invalidation work in this service?"
- "Diagram the WebSocket reconnection state machine."
- "Walk me through what happens after `npm publish` — every step until the package is on the registry."

The skill activates on prompts asking your agent to **explain, walk through, trace, visualize, or diagram** how data, requests, control, auth, or state flows through code. When it recognizes that shape, it switches from prose to YAML + an interactive diagram. The full trigger-phrase list lives in [`skills/openhop/SKILL.md`](skills/openhop/SKILL.md).

## CLI

```
openhop serve # start API server on :8787
openhop push <file.yaml> # create a flow, returns ID + URL
openhop patch <flow-id> <file.yaml> # apply patch operations to an existing flow
openhop list # list flows
openhop remove <flow-id> # delete a flow
```

Flags: `-p, --port <port>` (serve), `-s, --server <url>` (all others).

## How it works

The CLI validates YAML against a zod schema (with fuzzy typo hints), posts the flow to the API,
and prints a URL. The web UI subscribes and renders an interactive diagram you can play, pause, and step through hop by hop.

## Examples

Pre-made flows under [`examples/`](examples/):

- `auth-flow.yaml` — OAuth2 login with JWT
- `order-flow.yaml` — e-commerce order pipeline
- `simple-crud.yaml` — minimal CRUD example
- `type-variants.yaml` — every node type in one flow
- `self-loops.yaml` — same-node steps (internal work, retries) plus broadcasts and multi-data steps

Push any of them:

```bash
openhop push examples/order-flow.yaml
```
