Draw a diagram
Write a few lines of text, see a diagram. Install the Studio extension and open any file — the diagram renders in your editor as you type.
Install Studio →Enterprise as text.
Run by humans and machines together.
You leave with a decision you can keep true. Not a report of one — the model the decision was made in, in your own repository, and the method to keep it current after we are gone.
Architecture-as-Code for the enterprise — the git-native, text-first discipline software already has, carried up to the strategy, business and architecture layers that code-scoped tools never reach.
Two ways in
Set up an architecture repository
Adopt Transitrix for your organisation. One prompt to a coding agent scaffolds a structured repository and CI validates every change.
Methodology quick start →What this is
Architecture-as-Code for the enterprise — the git-native, text-first discipline software already has, carried up to the strategy, business and architecture layers that code-scoped tools never reach.
Against code-scoped tools. Architecture-as-Code exists today and stops at software. The layers where the money is committed — motivation, strategy, business — are the ones it never reaches, and they are the ones this covers.
Against context and memory layers. This is a formal model, not free-form notes and not opaque embeddings. It validates, it diffs, and a change to it is reviewed the way a change to code is reviewed. A machine can act on it because it is grounded, not because it was remembered.
The stack
Two units are open today. Two more extend the same thesis.
Transitrix
The foundation. A text-native way to model an organisation — goals, processes, capabilities, and structure — as code. Says how to describe an enterprise so it remains readable, versionable, and executable.
View on GitHub →Transitrix Studio
The unified editor extension and CLI to author and preview Transitrix formats — the reference implementation of the methodology. Previews the full Transitrix notation set, from BPMN process diagrams and goal trees to capability maps, FGCA, and process blueprints, with live preview as you type.
Install →On the roadmap
Transitrix DSM
Dynamic strategy management that operates on the Transitrix model, updating as the enterprise model changes — not yet publicly available.
More on Transitrix DSM →Transitrix Swarm
A research platform for modelling what agents do inside a Transitrix-described enterprise. The behaviour layer of the stack. In narrative; not in active development in the next six months.
Neither is open. See what they do and how to see them working →
See it work
A few lines of text become a diagram you can read, review, and version. You author a Transitrix file in VS Code; the preview renders alongside it as you type.
One model, every layer
You describe your enterprise once, as text. Two editor extensions render that single model across every layer — so the same source serves the boardroom and the codebase.
- Business-facing layers — Transitrix Studio. Purpose-built notations for strategy and operations: goals trees, capability maps, process blueprints, BPMN, and activity networks. Built for the business/IT interface, not stripped-down copies of generic diagrams.
- Technical layers — PlantUML. Sequence, state, ER/class, and C4 component diagrams — generated from the same model — render in PlantUML, natively inside Studio: no Java, no Graphviz, works even in the browser via vscode.dev. Studio previews PlantUML the way it previews Markdown — a foreign format, not a Transitrix notation.
- Mermaid, as a fallback. Where a lighter, quicker view is enough, the same layers also render in standard Mermaid, via the recommended editor extension.
Built on open standards — ArchiMate 3.2 and BPMN 2.0 — with everything as plain, diffable text. Nothing is locked in: the technical views are standard PlantUML and Mermaid, and your files stay readable with or without our tooling.
What's open today
Both the methodology and Transitrix Studio are public. The methodology specification lives at github.com/transitrix/methodology. Transitrix Studio — an editor extension and CLI — installs into VS Code, Cursor, VSCodium, Windsurf and IntelliJ IDEA; see the install options. Source at github.com/transitrix/transitrix-studio. For the exact shape of every notation, see the DSL examples reference; recipes — prose with directives, named *.<kind>.ttrs — are described on the .ttrs recipe format page.
